This is a sick joke!

Europe has centuries of Jewish blood fertilizing its evil soil and Europeans would not be upset by Jews not going to Cossack swords or gas chambers peacefully?

Tell me another.

Well it´s common knowledge that most of Europe does not care that much about Israel. (and this does not mean that everybody here would want them to die or something...) It only means that for most europeans Israel is just a far away forreign country (along many others of course) which has very little importance for “us”. Do you care for example every day for a single country in africa? i guess not. same here, Israel has no special status in Europe nor is it very important for trade interests...

[Polybius]

I have NO fear but faith that GOD is on ISRAEL’s side, and will totally destroy her enemies completely!! God is in control!!!

God has not allowed the complete destruction of the Jewish people.

God has allowed the political, earthly, state of Israel to be destroyed multiple times.

God has also allowed the destruction of millions of Jews within the last century.

Do not presume that you know what God will or will not do.

As Christ said, His Kingdom is not of the Earth. If the earthly, political State of Israel wants to survive on the Earth, it needs to depend on earthly forces such as the IDF and not in a belief that, no matter what, God will protect it because they know what God will do.

From the Article: "Not without cause did The Economist run a cover photo of "Bibi" in October 1997 under the headline "Israel's Serial Bungler." It described his governance of the Jewish state as a "calamity" for the peace process."

A "calamity for the peace process"?!!! Oh yeah, and it went so swimmingly with all the other PMs. Give me a break! Sixty plus years after the lessons of WWII, the West is full of Chamberlains. And while most westerners may forget what happened in Poland and Czechoslovakia partly due to our inaction, I doubt the Israelis have as short a memory.

The Israelites just need to DO it and get it OVER with.

“Israel certainly has my blessing to bomb Iran back to bows and arrows.”

Nay, too high tech, wooden spears are good enough for them.

[astounded]

...”9/11 produced the largest outpouring of American patriotism since WWII.”...

Yes, but that was before the media and democrat party turned against GWB and the war effort, and before the democrats gained total control over the USG. I would not trust Barack Obama to take any drastic action, even in response to an attack on a US carrier. He would, in my view, immediately call for “multilateral UN-guided action”.

Israel is screwed...

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Has anyone noticed how aggressive the Taliban is becoming? Notice how they are about to take control of Pakistan? (Paw-kee-stahn)

Shortly after the World apology tour, showing groveling weakness and submissive tendencies, this President has given the “Green Light” to commence all Terrorist (man-made disaster) actions against the Western World.

It won't be long before we see a Nuke go off on the horizon. It has now become a matter of when.

[TalBlack]

“Fact is Israel will never attack Iran without US blessing.”

Israel is more concerned with God’s Blessing than America’s. I would not want to be Iran and be between Israel and daylight.

[TalBlack]

“depend on earthly forces such as the IDF and not in a belief that, no matter what, God will protect it because they know what God will do.”

These are not IMHO mutually exclusive. But beside that, God HAS SAID what He will do. God has told us how this ends (who wins). We choose our side and we do our labor.

God told Jean D’Arc: “YOU fight the battle, I will give you the victory .” The forces on earth and the forces of Heaven will meet somewhere, probably soon.

[PapaBear3625]

Yes but current Iran is not Iraq of the 80s anymore nor is it powerless like syria. as i said Israel would need US blessing this time without this an attack on Iran is just impossible for them.

Look for the Israelis to think up an "outside the box" solution. I can think of one off the top of my head, but I'm not saying.

[Polybius]

if you would ask me in personal i would say i´m european so what ever Israel may does or not, doesn´t realy affect me in any way at all so there is no need to pick a special side

From a strictly Realpolitik point of view, you might want to reconsider your position.

While the safety of Israel does not affect you in any way at all, whether or not Iranian missiles controlled by Islamist religious fanatics have conventional or nuclear warheads affects you, as a European, quite directly.

IRAN President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said European nations should stand by his country in the dispute over its nuclear programme or "suffer damages". According to an excerpt of an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel news magazine ..... In the nuclear conflict, the Europeans "should stand on the side of Iran", Der Spiegel quoted him as saying. Otherwise "they will carry the damages from that." He did not elaborate.

[R0CK3T]

Here’s something to think about.

What if 0bama orders the Military to prevent (in a non-lethal manner?) the Israeli attack? Perhaps using American intel to expose the plan and or attack such that there will be no surprise and denying Israel its one chance to remove the Iranian Nuclear complex.

That way 0bama can retain control of Israel’s military advances and curry the favor of Iran.

Any move by Washington against Israel’s plan would be a very troubling turn of American foreign policy, and I wouldn’t put it past this SOB.

[tet68]

Mr. Obama cannot allow himself to be intimidated by Mr. Netanyahu, nor can he wink if the Israeli air force bombs Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Ah Walt, and if Iran should bomb Israel? What then?

Actually this could be solved by a joint operation...

[Polybius]

These are not IMHO mutually exclusive. But beside that, God HAS SAID what He will do. God has told us how this ends (who wins). We choose our side and we do our labor.

Yes, God has said what He will do but He has not said "when" or which "this" is this.

"This" was not the sacking of Jerusalem and the destruction of Solomon's Temple in 586 B.C.

"This" was not the sacking of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D.

"This" was not the destruction of most of Western Europe's Jewish population in 1940's.

"This" might not be the destruction of the political State of Israel in 2012 A.D.

"This" might not occur until the Second State of Israel or the Third State of Israel (France is already up to the Fifth Republic) does battle in the 23rd Century.

Do not presume that you know what God's plans are for the 21st Century.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

“Stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons - or we will. “ does not sound like unrealistic bravado. It sounds as if somesone in the world has a brass pair.

[PapaBear3625]

From his evasiveness in saying anything about himself, do not make the assumption that “Jonny foreigner” is not a Muslim.

[Polybius]

Actually this could be solved by a joint operation...

This should have already been solved by a joint operation before Barack Obama became Commander-in-Chief.

[GladesGuru]

A ‘Top Talker’ at Commie News Network is spouting the Democratic Party’s “talking points” of the day.

KEWL! Just like back in the Cold War era when Pravda announced the “Party Line” of the day.

[bert]

The “joint” could include the GCC air forces. They have the most to lose from Iran. The Saudi’s especially are vulnerable and are the only nation to have had direct armed attack by Iranian forces.

[tet68]

That would have been my prefered option, now it’s
that much harder.

I have no doubt that Israel will do what needs be done,
only the cost will be that much higher.
