Adelson: US should drop atomic bomb on Iran
Jerusalem Post ^ | 10/24/2013 14:58 | MAYA SHWAYDER

ORK – During a panel at Yeshiva University on Tuesday evening, Sheldon Adelson, noted businessman and owner of the newspaper Israel Hayom, suggested that the US should use nuclear weapons on Iran to impose its demands from a position of strength.

Asked by moderator Rabbi Shmuley Boteach whether the US should negotiate with Iran if it were to cease its uranium enrichment program, Adelson retorted, “What are we going to negotiate about?”

Adelson then imagined what might happen if an American official were to call up an Iranian official, say “watch this,” and subsequently drop a nuclear bomb in the middle of the Iranian desert.

"Then you say, ‘See! The next one is in the middle of Tehran. So, we mean business. You want to be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your nuclear development. You want to be peaceful? Just reverse it all,

"Obama would nuke Las Vegas before he’d nuke Iran."

Since Dingy is from Nev., I'd guess that Bammy would nuke Tex. (Cruz) first.

Didn’t Obama say we could absorb a blow?

Which sounds like he thinks we can take one without fighting back.


Yes, he said something to that effect.

I’m afraid we’re going to see it happen.

They finished a new super bunker under the White House recently. Obama would take Reggie down there and ride it out.

Obama is as evil as anyone who has ever lived on this planet.

"I don’t see the same scenario currently with Iran."

I think the world could use more glass and less Islam.

I was hunting for this story to read the comments earlier, that was the only reason I was wondering about it. No one had posted it. I didn’t want to.

Send the first one to Tehran and then use the rest to make the middle east a glass parking lot!

Wrong target.

Can think of a better and more effective one.

I read it earlier on today....but wasn’t surprised...not sure I put a lot of stake in the one who stated it though as currently there’s much propaganda going on over there. Israel does very well in that respect.

Bottom line is Israel will do whatever she chooses with or without support from ANY nation. More than likely eventually target their nuke sites no matter how many they are....
