U.S. Air Force: Israel has 400 nukes, building naval force

Israel is surrounded and outnumbered by enemies bent on its destruction. They are descended from an ethnic group that was nearly systematically exterminated not only culturally but genetically. They continue to be hated by many in the world even today. They have never used nuclear weapons, it is a deterrent to hordes of Arabs invading and wiping out their people. Saddam Hussein wants ONE thing, and that is to use Weapons of Mass Destruction for terrorism against Israel and the United States.

Wow! 36 Billion Virgins! But are they no longer virgins after the first time are do a new supply of 36billion appear instantly?

[crystalk]

Let us hope that this 400 is just the major warheads.

I certainly hope we have at least 4000 or so of the little so-called neutron-bomb, tactical nukes as well.

The writer in me can envision a positively evil scenario in which the US could take care of the problem that is Iraq without expending a fortune on a military campaign.

Any FReeper guesses on what that might be?

Nobody has said that the "martyrs" will marry the virgins in question.....

Israel won't shoot off everything because of one attack. However, if the enemy has made serious gains and is close to destroying Israel, then the weapons will be used as a last resort. The purpose won't be to save Israel, because Israel will already be lost, but to destroy the enemy. No winners. Guaranteed.

FYI: I have heard/read that the most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity...

And your point is?

FLAG! Tweeeeet!

Dead ball! Personal foul, unnecessary roughness; Number 6961 on the offense.

That's a fifteen yard penalty. Repeat first-down.

The MAD doctrine IMHO won't work against insane arab leaders that are ......Mad.

I agree on trashing any "individual" country that does launch WMD "first" be they chemical, biological or nuclear.

Slap em down like the mad dogs they are.......

Stay Safe !

WELLL, evidently Dashole speaks stickly and carries a small soft.

Jer 8:22 has had it's validity and may again for a time. Ultimately there will be much balm for Jacob's seed. Alas, less for significant chunks of Ismael's though his too are slated for eventual blessing. Not until they accept God's decrees on the associated matters, however.

If one thinks that the Jewish people who brought us Einstein and most of the advances of the last 150 years would have trouble extending the range of a critical armament, then I think one's thinking needs expanded.

[Quix]

I guess you see no linguistic, meaningful, significant, useful, functional difference between:

DEFENSIVE

vs

OFFENSIVE?

HOW would you like to be president of Israel responsible for her survival with their geography among sworn enemies who have been persistently destroying their civilian population for decades???

If you have that much trouble with the disctinction between defensive and offensive, I wouldn't want to be an Israeli citizen with you as president.

[Quix]

Guess I'm thickheaded about martyrs or virgins . . . I don't get your point.

[Quix]

Anyone who thinks Israel will be a destroyed loser hasn't considered seriously the weight God brings to an equation regarding Israel.

[Quix]

Am inclined to agree with you.

One word: "Arrow"

[Quix]

Is this use of "arrow" a secret code word for an extended range cruise missle? I don't get your point. Maybe my reading is deficient.

[RightWhale]

the weight God brings to an equation

Sure, God intercedes in human affairs. Has previously and will again. Doesn't mean Israel will specifically be preserved; can't say what will happen, except it won't be another Flood.

I was replying to your post wherein you said:

"Guess they just don't believe Jesus when He said there was neither marrying nor giving in marriage in Heaven. . . . or Paul when he said that in Christ there's neither male nor female, Jew nor Greek."

Not a point of contention, but, rather, an observation that these folks are not talking about marriage in the next life. All the best.....

[Quix]

You really think God's commitment to curse those who curse blood Israel and bless those who bless Israel's seed has no functional, real, tangible import?
