Duh, I think God would agree.

[ARE SOLE]

Iarael should attack it’s enemies first.

The report shouts for someone to stop Iran before this happens. The military action that headlines will scream about today will save tens of millions on all sides. And I don’t wish to receive the fallout here from large nukes detonated above ground.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad begs to disagree.

[Rockingham]

I read the original report, and it impressed me as factual, well reasoned, and on the mark. The bottom line: if the Mid East goes to nuclear war, bet the Jews to win and the over on casualties.

“..nuclear missile war between Iran and Israel that would last 21 days.”

Why so long? Launch all missiles simultaneously and don’t give Russia, China and N. Korea the time to form an alliance with a country that has ceased to exist.

[fish hawk]

Any one who has read the last book in the Bible would know this.

[444Flyer]

“Think tanks” are those who might eventually come to the obvious by way of common sense.

[gondramB]

Israel is our ally. I hope and think that we would not allow somebody to nuke Israel without immediate nuclear retaliation from the U.S.

[ASA Vet]

Here's the version from the 24th

[Badeye]

Isn’t Tony Cordesman the guy that claimed ‘we won’t take Kabul for at least six months’ only to see Kabul fall about 72 hours later?

[NY.SS-Bar9]

I would say let ‘em wipe each other out, but I couldn’t afford $10.00 / gallon gas.

[Noumenon]

"Rational actors do not fight nuclear wars, but history is not written about rational actors behaving in a rational manner..."

Well, duh, Captain Obvious.

I hope the Egyptians are smart enough to stay out of a war of massive retaliation. A few iron bombs on the Aswan Dam would wash the entire nation into the sea. I also hope the Persian people would prevent their suicidal government from taking the rest of the country to hell with them.

Iran's not trying to build a tiny nuclear arsenal. So the real question is, "Will western Europe survive the 'nuclear war'?"

Pride goes before defeat. We need more humility and morality.

[familyop]

IMO, Israel will wait for Iran to build several hundred nukes and go after its real targets. Iran and its friends (Shiite and Sunni) want to conquer the world instead of spending all of their efforts against Israel. The ruse about attacking only Israel is working. Islamist leaders are taking advantage of our pride.

The Clash of Ideologies - A Review

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
