Pre-emptive attack on Israel? That must mean that Imanutjob cancelled his order for I Heart Israel t-shirts.

I don’t know why nobody pays any attention to Israel stories unless the bombs are actually falling, and I mean big bombs, mortars don’t even rate.

Thanks for posting. Now the Israelis and the Iranians both have been talking about bombing each other for a while. Iraeli has said that if nothing is done about Iran accomplishing its nuclear mission it will go in and bomb whatever it could themselves. How much hype are in their statement? Now I am not saying that the Israelis have no right to be concerned or that their worried are ludicrous, I am just saying that some of the verbiage might hyped up as a warning. Now, the Jew-hating Iranian mullocracy has been making all kinds of statement against Israel for years and even more so since the rise of Ahmadinejad and also since their nuclear program has really gotten underway. I tend to doubt the mullahs would do anything so rash. Not because they’re such compassionate folk, but because of the fallout that will come upon Iran from both Israel and the US. I would like to think that the thing dearest to the mullahs’ hearts is greed dressed up in a theological tutu. Possibly they figure they could get away with something if Obama becomes president. If Obama wins and Iran made a pre-emptive move against Israel after the innauguration, by nature, Obama would be in the Oval Office with one finger in his snout and the other up his backside contemplating what would be the most PC thing to do. This is where AIPAC comes in. (Now I believe that AIPAC shouldn’t be above scrutiny or criticism, but in this scenario I would support them whole heartedly)—They would drag every legislator by the proverbial castanas into taking some drastic action against the mullahs, no matter what the cost or what the rest of the world thinks. A President Obama wouldn’t have much of a choice. In short, Iran would be a no mans land if the US decides to act on behalf of Israel—not even the Russians will stop us.

I think that Iran already has attempted such a strike and it was aborted by Somali pirates, perhaps with the connivance of Mossad or CIA. That radioactive freighter should have been the trigger for a massive attack on Iran.

I wish they would attack us, it would give us an excuse to mop the floor with their asses.

Iran's been doing it by proxy & has been rewarded for it. Seems to me, they want a Zero win, cuz they know they'll get more of the rewards without the risk & work.
