Yea, but with the Syrian and Iraqi nuke programs we didn’t even hear chatter of an Israeli strike beforehand. They were literally bolts out of the blue.

There has been talk of an Israeli strike on the Iranian nuke program for 10+ years. If Israel does end up hitting the Iranians, the tactic appears to be to lull them into a sense of complacency . . . always talking/posturing for an attack but never pulling the trigger - until one day they actually do.

Think about the Egyptians back in 73’. They would regularly mobilize and send a chunk of their military up to the Suez and feint an attack. Golda Meir had intel about the Epgytian mobilization prior to the attack across the Suez but didn’t think much of it because it was just the same old same old . . . until it wasn’t

“Christmas is used as a time marker? Really? Christmas”

Well, it’s basically the winter solstice, so it’s among the longest nights of the year. You’d also want little or no moon, so 12/13 or so.

Also, it’s cold so your planes can take off with more fuel and weapons loads.

I belive it’s closed.

12 or 15 deep pentration nukes need to be used. 3 to 5 surface nukes to hit industrial areas.

The rest can be conventional.

EMP’s over the nuke facilities? Would they work against underground facilities?

People forget. When Israel launches a strike, it does not ‘attempt to stop the enemy.’ It stops the enemy. People also forget that “Never again!” is not an ad campaign slogan.

It is the height of irony that Israel in defending its right to exist may end up being the reason Barry the bassturd remains in offcie beyond January 2013. If Israel takes out the Iranian nuclear threat, the Iranian madmen will close the straits of Hormuz and perhaps bomb Saudi Arabia, and oil prices will skyrocket, causing the commie-in-chief to declare the nation is in an extended state of emergency, and he will gradually drain the oil reserves convincing the already too stupid to breathe democrats and moderates that he is savior of the Republic. The reserves will vanish without accomplishing what they could have had they been released during non-militarized times to explode the speculators now determining the price of gasoline.

Yes, He does and He is!

And it really doesn’t matter who is on Israel’s side, or how many weapons Israel or anyone else has.Israel has God on their side and that trumps all!

World War III began on 9/11/01. The longer anyone waits, the tougher the battle will be. This will just be another battle that might get the main part of the war started.

Fine, get it over with.

I wouldn’t bet on this scenario’s being true. Israel’s response will probably, no, definitely will take the world by surprise.

To: Fennie; All
I have no idea whether Israel plans to use the departure of our troops from Iraq as an opportunity to attack Iran at their first opportunity without risking thousands of American hostages being taken in a suddenly-hostile Iraq.

What I do know is that if our President won't do his job of defending America, the Israelis ***WILL*** do their job of defending themselves. G-d has a way of raising up unexpected deliverers to accomplish His will when those who are supposed to be doing things refuse their responsibilities, and passing over individuals and even entire nations who repeatedly reject Him.

We saw decades ago that G-d, due to the collapse of the European churches into wickedness and heresy, raised up America out of quite literally a wilderness to become a major supporter of the Christian faith, whose churches aent more missionaries than the rest of the Christian world, combined.

We're now seeing the rise of Third-World churches to do the job that first Europe and now America has chosen to abandon.

While the churches of Africa, Asia and South America are rapidly growing, militarily, however, there is no country in the world other than the United States which is both operationally and politically capable of a major strike against Islamofascism, with one exception.

That exception is Israel.

We need to remember that in the long run, our weapons are not flesh and blood, or guns and bombs. Go read these links on the Six Day War posted by another Freeper:

http://www.chabad.org/multimedia/timeline_cdo/aid/525341/jewish/Introduction.htm

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/122435

A few key excerpts: “IDF Director of Operations Maj. Gen. Ezer Weizmann was asked by Mr. Levanon, the father of a fallen pilot, how he explains the fact that for 3 straight hours, Israel Air Force planes flew from one Egyptian airstrip to another destroying the enemy planes, yet the Egyptians did not radio ahead to inform their own forces of the oncoming Israeli attack? Ezer Weizmann, later who later served as President of the State of Israel, was silent. He then lifted his head and exclaimed, ‘The finger of G-d.’”

Again: “The Arabs were surprised; the fear of the Jews fell upon them. In Hevron, and in Shechem, in Jenin and in Jericho the Arabs were heavily armed. There was not even one small Arab village without arms. With great haste, the Arabs, however, hid their weapons and didn't consider using them. They raised their hands up, and flew white flags of surrender from every edifice. The fear of G-d fell upon hundreds of thousands of proud Arabs, who were filled with hatred and loathing for Israel. Only yesterday, they had sworn to fight until their last drop of blood.”

In closing, a German journalist summarized: “Nothing like this has happened in history. A force including a 1000 tanks, hundreds of artillery cannons, many rockets and fighter jets, and a hundred thousand soldiers armed from head to toe was destroyed in two days in an area covering hundreds of kilometers filled with reinforced outposts and installations. And this victory was carried out by a force that lost many soldiers and much equipment, positions, and vehicles. No military logic or natural cause can explain this monumental occurrence.”
