Two Israeli missile class warships have sailed through the Suez Canal ten days after a submarine capable of launching a nuclear missile strike, in preparation for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The deployment into the Red Sea, confirmed by Israeli officials, was a clear signal that Israel was able to put its strike force within range of Iran at short notice. It came before long-range exercises by the Israeli air force in America later this month and the test of a missile defence shield at a US missile range in the Pacific Ocean.

Sorry, 3 reasons.
Saudis give nod to Israeli raid on Iran Sunday, July 05, 2009 2:20:05 PM · 124 of 141 hoagy62 to califamily4W
Yep..I was right. Bad things tend to happen to Israel on the 9th of Av. You don’t supposed Ahmedinnerjacket would decide to lob a nuke towards Tel Aviv on July 29th? May the Lord forbid it!

That required a couple of googles. Sunset July 29th. This list includes some of the worst calamities which befell the Jews on Tisha B’Av:
587 BCE (3338) The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians under the rulership of Nebuchadnezzar.
70 CE (3830) The Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans under the leadership of Titus.
135 CE (3895) The Romans conquered Bar Kochba’s last fortress, Betar, and destroyed his army. The Roman Emperor Hadrian turned Jerusalem into a Roman city. 1290
(5050) King Edward 1st of England signed an edict expelling all Jews from England.
1492 (5252) Jews were expelled from Spain.
1670 The last Jews left Vienna, following expulsion orders.
1914 (5674) World War I began (Germany declared war on Russia on August 1, 1914).
1940 (5700) Himler presented his plan for the “Final Solution” to the Jewish problem to the Nazi Party.
1942 (5702) Nazis began deporting of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto.
Also, neither China nor the US doesn’t want to be destroyed in a nuclear exchange (MAD), while the religious fanatics running Iran believe it is their responsibility to bring the end of the world.
Thank you. I was awaiting his reply to my suggestion to give every country two nukes because they are sovereign and have the right to nukes.
“LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE” I sure the US will be right there to support Israel just ask our Commander in Chief.
“But each has the same legal rights?”
Only partially, being in prison some of those rights are gone.
But more importantly, would you trust your 5 year old kids equally with each group? Your finances? Would you trust each group equally to pull you out of a burning airplane?
How about if you were given a deserted island, and had to set up a new country and government on the island, and you had to choose 10 people from one of the 2 groups to help you. Which group would you give the responsibility?
Well, we are conservatives, but the jury is not back on YOU yet.
Looking through your forum history, I noticed you use the term "conservative" to describe yourself a few times ... kinda protesting a bit too much, eh?
Troll?
The Shiite Mullahs are hanging the Sunni political opposition leaders in Iran. Gonna be a big Sunni/Shiite conflict. Israel backs the Sunni's. Russia and China back the Shiites.
I believe your silly question can be summed up with one word.
“Intent”.
I've read your post and I don't think your a troll but, I do think you are confused or need to explain something to liberal leaning friends... when this does happen.
So let me enlighten you in a few words. We are not goading Israel, we offer our prayers and support, they have been threatened by Iran (with NEAR nuclear capabilities) looong enough. China, is a no brainer dude or dudette, we have not threatened that country in a way shape or form. Quiet now, read and learn.
Godspeed, Israel.
Good hunting
Biden is NOT Obama — and Obama can’t shut him up (which is GOOD for us I suppose).
There are several dates in August it must be done by.
___________
I read that too....It must be done either sometime next week, or in early August — before the 10th... Otherwise they’d have to wait as much as 6 months — and there’s NO gaurantee the world has that much time before Iran GETS nukes. But the “windows” for attack are only 3 or so days... And all we can do is hope and pray...
Father above, hear my prayer,
Protect your sons and daughters in Israel. Guide their swords, strengthen their shields, sharpen their aim, that they might truly strike a deadly blow to evil. Father protect the innocent in Iran, her people, guide them to safety, and show them the true light of your blessing.
Thank you Father. In most humble gratitude for your gifts,
AMEN
Well, for one, Israel isn't openly threatening to completely obliterate another country just for funsies. Israel is also not led by an apocalyptic psychopath, and is unlikely to provide such weapons to terrorists. A nuclear Iran is a grave threat to the civilized world, and cannot be allowed. F*** their "sovereignty."
Because Israel doesn’t go waving about guns and threatening to wipe other nations off the earth. They defend themselves, they don’t go out looking to start a fight. But for darned sure they protect themselves and have every right to do so. If Iran shut up and stopped making threats, things would be fine, but apparently they can’t do that. They have to keep their populations hating someone more than themselves or the masses will run rampant out of control and likely kill THEM to get them out of power.
Its called State run distraction, and Iran uses the US and Israel for just that purpose.
There is a minority Sunni community in Iran (some of them got hanged the other day, for membership of an al-Qaida type group.)
Shias do suicide bombings - indeed - I think they ushered in this tactic, starting in South Lebanon in the 1980s. Hezbollah was known for its suicide bombers - then they moved on to a more developed military style, as they got more weapons.
There was a difference with the Shia suicide bombers - they aimed at different targets. When Sunnis took up suicide bombings from about 1995 onwards, it seemed to become more indiscriminate.
