Iran has buried its nuclear “factories.” There is more than one way to skin a cat. Why not bomb the entrances and exits so no food or people can enter or exit. Yes, missiles can be fired but Israel has good anti-missile capabilities and perhaps Dear Leader might even fire off some U.S. anti-missile weapons.

"That's our new job in the world, bombing brown people! Iraq, Panama, Granada, Libya, you got some brown people in your country, tell them to watch the .... out or we will bomb them! Well, when is the last white people you can remember that we bombed. Can you remember the last white people? Can you remember any white people, we have ever bombed? The Germans! Those are the only ones and that is only because they were trying to cutting in our action. They wanted to dominate the world! Bull----! That's our job! Now, we only bomb brown people. Not because they are trying to cutting in our action, just because they are brown." - George Carlin

Sounds like Obozo has received his orders from Saudi Arabia.

It’s actually a great idea to take down the Iranians...my worry is the clown at the helm.

Israel WILL do what they have to do to survive and more power to them. If backed into a corner, the world , especially the Muslim world is going to be a very different place...

We’re already paying the blue-helmeted, UN baby rapers with American tax dollars. Why not tell them to do it? We’ll sit this one out.
