Murachvik is a self-identified Neocon, but I am surprised that the LATimes, which is feverishly liberal and usually pro-terrorist is carrying an article by Murachvik.
Useless talk forever and ever. Thats the RATS plan.
Removing the mad mullahs with nukes ping.
No problem, but not with Israel. Let Israel bomb Syria at the same time US bombs Iran.
Great article-from the LA Slimes no less.Agree with the author 100 percent.Time for talk is over.Thanx for the post.
Bomb Iran.
American foreign policy stupidity let this drag on. We should have gone in there long ago before the rest of the world had time to line up. A policy such as Israel’s where “if we find out, we will bomb without hessitation or getting world permission” is the only one to be followed. We’ve had an open account with an Iran for thirty years...
If we can deal with those facts, then maybe it would make sense at some point. Hopefully some really smart people will be in charge then.
Reading the comments from the article iself (looks like most were posted from UK), just reinforces the perception (and likely, the reality) that Europe is finished. A country or a people that will not fight to save itself does not deserve to be saved. Europe, for the most part, has opted to die.
A retaliation would be taken by the people of Iran as the consequence of over-reaching by their leadership, while a preemptive attack on their nuclear facilities alone would rally them around their leadership.
Since their nuclear sites seem to be so dear to them, there is nothing wrong with destroying them while we are at it, along with their military infrastructure. President Bush should allow our Generals in Iraq to publicly present the proof of Iran's egregious acts, complete with the death toll that could be attributed to Iranian meddling in Iraq.
Though I wouldn't personally care, the world will be much more accepting of a retaliation for acts of war, than they will be of another preemptive action.
Destroy the Iranian Energy Industry
While the MOP bomb will be useful in destroying Iran’s deeply buried nuclear sites. It does nothing to deal with Iran’s support of terrorism that is killing our people, and has been for almost 30 years. What we need is regime change in Iran and the stopping of support for terrorism. To do this we must destroy Iran’s source of funding terror, which is almost exclusively the sale of Oil. So, I advocate a simple bombing of Iran’s energy industry. Every power plant, pipeline, refinery, tanker, tank farm, etc… should be destroyed. These are very fragile targets and in most cases one bomb will destroy the target as they mostly burn, and explode, destroying themselves. It’s unlikely that the hated clerics could maintain control without the oil money to pay for loyalty, most of the bigwigs in Iran already have Swiss bank accounts, and they would abandon Iran like rats leaving a sinking ship once the oil money stops. The Clerics want to live in the 7th century; we should assist them by putting Iranians all on foot and in the dark.
Nah lets wait for pearl harbor then bomb them back.
