Bomb's away!
INCOMING!!!!
I'm all for Israel taking out Iran's reactors, but I don't see how they won't come under worldwide condemnation for "offensive" military action. More importantly, such a move by Israel could prompt the Mohammedan crazies in Pakistan to make a play for Pakistan's nuclear weapons.
That's warning #1. You're up Iran.
The balloon is about to go up.
I wonder how this is being war gamed? Israel will significantly degrade Iran's nuclear capability, one way or the other..either by bombs, or comando strikes, or whatever means necessary...So what does Iran do then?
The crazies have been trying for years to do just this. It seems to be permanently beyond the capability of crazies.
Are we not at war?
Israel's got missile subs, accurate orbit-capable (and therefore ICBM-capable) rockets, and a nuclear arsenal. Sharon's not just blowing smoke....
Short but sweet.
Go Isreal. The Pro American folks in this country have your backs. The Anti American , Americans don't.
Everyone says - "Well, the Israeli jets can't fly round-trip to Iran". I'm thinking that they don't intend to do so. Perhaps some sort of water landing on barges equipped with cables? I know they don't have an aircraft carrier for takeoffs which require all those hydraulics, but aren't landings really just dependent on the securing cables?
Or, since they are planning on upgrading to our F-35, this could be a one way, throw away mission whereby they simply ditch the F-16's in the ocean near their recovery submarine?
Where there's a will, there's a way. I just seems such a shame that Israel as the representative of the West, should have to go it alone. We need to accept that the possibility of Republican defeat in the '06 and '08 elections because of our action is considerably less important than a nuclear Iran hell-bent on hell-fire for Israel.
It just couldn't be more plain to me: The Jews are God's chosen people, and we must do everything in our power to defend them. But hey, that's why some consider me an extremist!
That's not possible politically, and would be counterproductive to pro-democracy movements in Mohammedan countries. Additionally, Musharraf has been a half-decent ally. We shouldn't be doing Saudi Arabia any favors, though.
Naval aircraft are designed and engineered differently. You couldn't land an IDF aircraft on a carrier.
They could recover to Iraq, couldn't they?
Wouldn't that get the Arabs and leftists panties in a bunch?
The Iranians are actually trying to provoke a conflict, convinced they can win a war of attrition against the West and come out on top. However, they do not take into account the possibility that the Western Powers may use shock weapons: low yield nukes such as those used at Hiroshima-to bring about the fall of the regime. The Mullahs and Ahmeneijad are betting on an invasion and their alliance with Al Qaeda to see them through. Their assuming that bluff and bluster will win the day. What if they are wrong, however?
Ahmeneijad's remarks reflect the Hitlerian nature of the regime. Certain decisions have already been made in Washington and Jerusalem.
I suspect the stage is set, the roles are rehearsed, the lines are learned, George and Condi, Sharon and Netanyahu, Casey and Mofaz, everyone is readying their nerves. It is as if the die is yet to be cast.
Time for the warriors to take the stage and save the world from Fascism and Holocaust, this time before they happen. Only who will play the starring roles of Tibbets, Ferebee, and Van Kirk this time 'round?
The stakes are that high.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
Doesn't have to be overt. I'm sure Mossad has plenty underway in covert planning.
Oops, forgot that. Well, this is why I'm not a great strategic planner.
They sure do!
But while we're preoccupied with Iran, Hugo Chavez is gonna sucker punch us from the south and we'll be toast.
