Would an Iranian nuke strike on Israel be OK?
To: Flavius
“and it is the unintended consequences of that which aren’t predictable”
Hormuz, nuff said.
To: Flavius
We definitely wouldn’t want a place that is already destabilized to become very destabilized.

And what does the good Admiral think the consequences of Iran having nuclear weapons will be?

I think a low yield nuke on AFP offices in Paris would be much more in order.

Intended consequences for whoever they can get a bead on
Now, that makes good sense!
To: Flavius
Aren't most attacks on a country supposed to be destabilizing? Isn't that sort of the point?
"Well, sir, we're going to attack, but frankly sir, no one will probably notice. Maybe McDonald's won't open until a little later, maybe 9 am. But probably not."
To: Islaminaction
Would an Iranian nuke strike on Israel be OK? Of course it wouldn't. Bibi is looking after the best interests of his own nation, & I'm confident that he could handle Iran quite well w/o the US getting involved.

"I've been one who has been concerned about a strike on Iran for some time, because it could be very destabilizing, and it is the unintended consequences of that which aren't predictable,"If the unintended consequences aren't predictable, how can you be so sure they'd be destabilizing?
Waaaaaaaait a minute. Is this an example of, "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit."?

Agreed, Bibi has to do what he thinks is best for Israel.
To: Flavius
"I've been one who has been concerned about a strike on Iran for some time, because it could be very destabilizing, and it is the unintended consequences of that which aren't predictable," the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff told the Fox News Sunday television program.
First, I had thought that someone who had risen this high would have quit making stupid statements -- "unintended consequences ... aren't predictable." Indeed!
Secondly, I wonder what Mr Chairman thinks would be the result of an Iranian attack on Israel.

What is more destabilizing is the uncertainty and indecision around the question of what will be done if iran continues down the path it is on.
