#1 It is foolish to change position when your enemy has thought you would. If you stay behind that cement divider I/we have made for you, you may remain protected.

If not, you are just as stupid as the foolish euroPEONS that they have been joking with for years.

Peace is not possible when you discuss it with 30 year old wolves.

Come on Bambi, Sing our chourus of "Do I know you?".

Please.

#2 What Bambi isn't telling anyone just yet is that in exchange for his promise he'll demand that Israel give up all of its own nuclear weapons. Bank on that shoe falling after he's in office.

#4 Israel will have to admit having them first. Or just quietly cough them up.

#5 We'll give propose giving you a slice of 'nuclear umbrella' if you open your kimono for inspections and dismantle...., etc. (Strategic pay-for-play). And of course the IDF will NOT! An empty promises. Game over, proposal dead, you're on your own Tel Aviv. NEXT!

#6 You mean like the British and French gave up their nukes for the American umbrella?

#7 Nobody gives up nukes.



Except South Africa, but that was just so they wouldn't fall into the 'wrong hands'.

#8 And what if Iran just decides to do it anyway and Bambi doesn't live up to his promise?

#9 Yeah, better get that one on paper. But even then, the guy doesn't play straight.

#10 The assumption has to be that the Mad Mullahs will use a nuke if they ever get their hands on one, deterrent or no. They are crazy so the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction that we relied on with the Soviet Union doesn't work. The Soviets were sane. The Mad Mullahs are not. So the only sane policy is a preemptive attack on Iran to make damn sure they never get their hands on a nuke. If Bambi can't figure that out the Israelis will and then what's Bambi gonna do?

#11 ...Has anyone considered that this is Bambi's way of being able to say to the Mullahs, "Hey - we tried to get them to stop, but they wouldn't listen. Real sorry about that reactor, tho."

#12 If I would Israel I'd take that to mean to build more Nukes like crazy. I don't think Bambi has lived up to any of his promises has he?

The question is - if push comes to shove will Bambi push the button or bow to the UN in a "above my pay scale" kind of way?

#13 Bama's a lying, cowardly, druggie motherf*cker. No way he'll back anything up for anyone. Israel, if you depend on anything this guy says, we'll be watching Hitler's successors finish the job he started.
