Israelis: Don't Force Us to Clobber The Iran(t)ians On Nukes
2005-09-30
The United States and its allies must act to stop Iran's nuclear programs -- by force if necessary -- because conventional diplomacy will not work, three senior Israeli lawmakers from across the political spectrum warned yesterday.

As a last resort, they said, Israel itself would act unilaterally to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms.

Iran will not be deterred "by anything short of a threat of force," said Arieh Eldad, a member of Israel's right-wing National Union Party, part of a delegation of Knesset members visiting Washington this week.

"They won't be stopped unless they are convinced their programs will be destroyed if they continue," he said

#10  Probably won't matter whether we do it or the Israelis do it. If it happens, we will face the war of civilizations (civilization used loosely in the asshat's case) that we have hoped to avoid.

The Mad Mullahs will use the weapons once they have them. The Israelis will not go down quietly, and if we are attacked, we will retaliate massively regardless of who occupies the White House.

I don't see the political will for the USA to take them out before we are attacked. We will have to lose a city or two and a few million people before we will act. The Israelis on the other hand...

#9  Let the Commie Clintons and their Spetzlamists amke the first move - I doubt Hillary will run for POTUS as long the rogue crises are unresolved. The Clintons may be about POWER and PC, but they are also about getting others to do the hard /dirty work in comparison to themselves -iff believes that POTUS Hillary wants MSM credit for eight years of Bill-style geopol "quiet" and subjective US-Global SOCIALIST "prosperity", then IRAN-NORTH KOREA, SYRIA, AFRICA, CHAVEZ, and TAIWAN, etc. must be mostly resolved by the time she enters office. If Billary want a Socialist Amerika, with Dubya's successes, and hubby Bill discrediting both himself, his "legacy", and the credibility of their own US DemoLeft, Hillary's only chance to be POTUS must come via Bill-style ELEX FRAUD ANDOR MUSHROOM CLOUDS OVER AMERICA, espec new 9-11's with limited national damage but takes out not only Dubya but any MALE GOP- OR ANTI/NON-CLINTON DEM SUCCESSOR TO DUBYA. Outside of these, her best option is to stay a Senator or Congressional Pol. I BELIEVE AMERICA WILL NOT SEE ANY FEMALE POTUS, OR ANY ALL FEMALE POTUS-VPOTUS ADMIN, AS LONG AS THE WOT IS ONGOING. IFF AL QAEDA AND [ANTI-US]WORLD SOCIALISTS/GLOBALISTS WANT TO SEE ANOTHER CLINTON IN OFFICE, RADICAL ISLAM CANNOT NOT ATTACK AMERICA ANDOR SOMETHING MUST OCCUR TO INDUCE AMERICA TO INVADE IRAN AND NORTH KOREA AND WAGE REGIONAL LIMITED WAR AGS THESE AND CHINA. These "Patriots" want the Fed, and only THE FED, to expand and expand and expand while justifying why Americanism and trad Federalism is no good or doesn't work, and that America needs Bigger Govt, more Centralism, more Miluitarization, and more US- and US-paid Global Welfarism, AND WHILE SHOWING WHY AMERICA OR AMERICANS CANNOT BE IN CHARGE OF OUR OWN AFFAIRS ECONOMY,OR ARMED FORCES. IOW, "GLOBALISM" = PC SURNAME FOR MARXISM, STALINISM, SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM, BY ANY OTHER LABEL OR DESCRIPTION SAVE WHAT IT TRULY IS. Good Conspiracies have two or more parallel scenarios and contingencies occurring at any one time.

#8  The world cannot afford to let the Iranians have nukes, the rest of the ME included, or they will rule the Caliphate from Tehran. Even the Saudis would benefit more if Israel was allowed to take them out, or they will be without customers if the MM's are allowed to succeed. $$$$ Maybe we should offer a mega-reward to anyone who takes care of the problem for the rest of us.

#7  I hope the IDF generals play Clint Eastwood's movie SUDDEN IMPACT for the pilots the night before they are sent to Iranian Airspace to work over those "peaceful" reactors.

GO AHEAD PUNK, MAKE MY DAY...

#6  Look, the Israelis are sending the clarion call.

If we didn't want Israeli's involvement in Gulf War 1 and 2 because it would incite the whole ME, why would we want them (rather than us) to club the moolah nukes?

Gotta B us, folks, unless we are ready for a greater ME region conflict (which in my mind is eventually inevitable).

#2  These guys need to be talking directly to the Senate and House committees involved in HCON 398 and SCON 81 - now HCON 398 EAS (July 22, 2004 - 108th Congress) - they've wimped out and watered down the "all means necessary" language that came out of the House to "expressing the concern of Congress", primarily due to the gutless cheesedicks in the Senate. The original gave Bush the same clearance he had for Afghanistan and Iraq. This joint abortion isn't worth warm spit, blathering about the IAEA and the EU3 jerkoff.

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
-- H.L. Mencken

Time to apply this, as appropriate, to the US Congress. Most of the shit dropped on Bush's doorstep correctly belongs to this coven of fucking cowards and seditious Lefties.

Could they accidentally drop a bomb down Assad's chimney on the way through Syria?

Just a thought...
