#1 I don't know if I'd accept the invite- they might try to make him a guest of the Ayatollah for a year or two.

#4 You know, Joseph, when someone is actually stupid enough to openly threaten a man who does do terminal things to flesh and bones by his very nature...its a VERY bad idea to threaten a man like that. Threatening people in general is a bad idea. Its better to not give any tip-offs, no warnings. Its better just to do it and then lean on it.

Iran will never live to threaten anyone with the bomb. The instant they say they have it, they wont get any warning from the bad boys who actually have used the damn things in the past.

It isnt a game. And the men who do nukes for a living are not nice people under specific circumstances. They are a mean priesthood of people who shave their heads and carry keys around their necks. You have to understand they will do their job. And your little dog, too, as they say.

You want to play nukes? Its a game that some people have played before....and they will do you to a turn if they get the order. Its almost genetic with some people, trust me.

#6 If the man who holds the football doesn't have the balls then there will be no order.

#7 Dunno for sure but my guess is Netanyahu has balls. From what I've seen of him in a very few TV interviews, he gives the impression of being a very serious man. He seems to understand that his life and the lives of people he loves are at stake. I wouldn't mess with him.

#8 I'm with Abu. Bibi has the spine of previous wartime (not Olmert!) leaders to realize they aren't allowed mistakes of "generosity of intent". I suspect the Ambassador retreat was a "here's what we say when the shit goes down", with the fatalistic realization Obama, the EU, et al, won't do JACK until the Israelis have to do it themselves. Go bless the Israelis!
