This goes nicely with our conversations of the last few weeks.
I think it'll be similar to 1981 when the Israelis wiped out the Osirak reactor near Baghdad.
Many countries wailed about it but many (including the US) were glad the Israelis did it.
Hat-Trick
And North Korea's assets must be taken out on same day. It is maddness to let either one of these two regimes continue their development.
Also we do not want the MSM's talking about this till after election.
<< Thank GOD - NOT al lah, for Israel. >>
What's al lah?
There will be NO iranian bomb.
Not one.
Zero.
Nada.
Ziltch.
àó àçã!
Bet your life on it!
You are assuming that they are rational, like the USSR.
They're not and have given evidence for that in their pronouncements that they intend to take out Israel when the the stuff is cooked.
I think they truly believe that Allah Wills It.
I don't think Isreal is going to wait for us - unless we pressure them to wait.
Kind of a Michael Corleone moment, eh ?
Ah, well. Steady hands, airman ... steady nerves....

I'm not denying the need for the program to be halted. Iran has a wealth of more conventional means to generate electricity without nuclear power.
Well stated, from where I sit.
Why pi$$ around with a Flivver when you can have a Ferrari?
Actually, the Iranians and the Chinese have been buddies for a long time, with silkworm missles among the technologies exchanged.
With some NEST data hard drives disappearing from Los Alamos, and Wen Ho Li and others funneling such data to the Chinese (Clinton Administration), it wouldn't surprise me if they were eyeing the construction of anything right up to the W88.
Add a small complement of Kilo Class subs and an agreement with Mozambique for port/maintenance facilities that dates back to the 1990's and you have a serious potential threat.
A thermonuclear warhead, loaded on a Kilo class sub with a crew of martyrs, inserted into a carrier group by laying doggo and letting the fleet run over top of their position, then detonated, could effectively eliminate a carrier group. (Kilo class subs can be extremely quiet, simply because the diesel electrics have no reactor coolant pumps to run. )
Similarly, with a warhead applied at the proper choke point navigation could be stoped, or this could be used to eliminate oil loading platforms, submarine pipelines, or virtually any imaginable facility with deepwater access, either in the middle east, or the rest of the world.
This is a credible and serious threat.
Despite a lot of bluster, they took Beslan pretty much lying down.
You seem to believe in the existence of 'moderate Islam'. I've heard a lot about it, but I find experimental proof lacking. There are a lot of Iranians who want to be able to import soft porn and shed the burqas. I'm not sure there are a lot who are willing to tolerate the existence of Israel or to argue when the local goons yell 'death to America'.
If Israel can do the job with precision-guided conventional munitions, I say, go for it. It would be more efficient with tactical nukes, which Israel certainly has, but probably the international wailing and gnashing of teeth would be best avoided.
Me, I don't think there's a majority Islamic state that should be allowed to have matchlocks, but one step at a time.
Thank you very much. I just hope that our estimates of when the Iranians will get nukes (if not stopped) are correct.
Yes, prayers for your Son on this holiest of Jewish observances!
For what it's worth . I have a good friend in NY City who is from Israel. He dad is , lets say , in a position of importance back in Israel. We talk politics when we meet and this guy in nYC is very bright and very well informed. Once in a rare while he'll tell em something with unshaking confidence . We were talking about Iran's nuke project . My friend smiled , pointed his finger at me and said "It will not happen " I replied that , yea, I wouldnt doubt that Israel dosen't try to .." Before I even finished the sentence he again smiled. "My friend , you're not looking at me..It will NOT happen, it is already in the works , come see me in a month and we'll celebrate the big smoking hole in the ground in Iran "..Only 3 times in 3 years has he ever gotten that cocky and sure with me about a mid east situation and all 3 times he called it dead on ..Just passing it on for what it's worth ..
