Knesset Member and leader of the opposition Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday stated that military action should be initiated against Iran if the country obtains a nuclear weapon.

Speaking at counter-terrorism conference, Netanyahu advocated increasing financial sanctions against the country, arguing that military action should be launched if the Iranian government develops a nuclear arsenal.

“[Military action] should be used if we see that Iran’s nuclear weapons program is about to come alive, [meanwhile] the [country] should be squeezed,” Netanyahu stated.

Netanyahu finished by comparing the current Iranian regime to Hitler’s third Reich, arguing that Iran now presents a similar threat to the Jewish population as that posed by the German administration in 1939.

“One year ago, I said we are in 1938, and Iran is Germany. It is 1939 now. Hitler first embarked on a world conflict, and then attempted to obtain weapons of mass death. Ahmadenijad is going about it in the reverse order,” the opposition leader said.

On or off the Iran ping list.

I totally agree. Those cretins can not, CAN NOT, have a nuclear weapon.
