#1 I mean what is anyone going to do to Israel? Hate them worse?

Maybe dispatch suicide bombers to blow them up?

Maybe kill their athletes at international sports competitions?

Maybe hijack their airliners, or detonate bombs in their airports?

Fire unguided missiles into Israel?

I mean - what new threat can descend upon Israel?

All I can think of is roasting Israeli infants on spits, and then eating them.

Maybe the Mullahs need to revisit the '67 and '73 war chronicles.

I'm no great fan of Israel, but if they can be the sword of retribution that strikes out at the immense evil in Iran - they have my heartfelt support.

Ever since the Iranian barbarians seized the US Embassy in November '79, they've had a long overdue ass-kicking coming. I know that there are many good people in Iran - it is time for good people in bad countries to finally learn that they either need to step up and clean their own house, or go down in flames with the neighborhood bullies.

In the timeworn words of Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Well, timid good men within the Islamic world need to learn that they will regrettably become collateral damage, unless they take action on their own.

There is no way the US would clear the sale of those armaments unless they have already given Israel the green light. Iran will not bak down - so now it is just a question of which morning we wake up to learn that Israel has lanced this ugly boil. Israel must surely be trying to pick the timing of their inevitable attack so as to eliminate the hardest to replace resources that could be used to rebuild the program - probably the human talent component. Iranian nuclear scientists may soon be joining the "retired with extreme prejudice" Hamas crowd in hell.

May Allan welcome his Iranain satanic friends back home - and the sooner, the better.

#2 This news gives official notice to the Iranians that the Israelis can destroy their facilities without having to use any of their own nuclear devices. The ordinance is almost certainly already there. Best case senario: delivery is made by B2 bombers, allowing everybody official deniability.

#3 Iran has said it will react "most severely" to any Israeli action against its nuclear facilities, issuing the warning after Israel said the United States was selling it 500 bunker buster bombs.

Hah, what are the mullahs going to do that hasn't already been tried by the Paleos? They're on the verge of seeing their nuclear efforts go up in smoke and radioactive contamination, and they're obviously nervous about it.

#5 "Iran vowed Tuesday to continue a nuclear program some suspect is aimed at developing weapons, ... "

That's like saying "some suspect" the C-BS docs are forged.

#6 Dear President Khatami,

This MOAB has YOUR name on it.

#7 Nicely said, Lone Ranger.

Burke: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." This would be useful as the new slogan of the UN.

As far as the "Iranians can't do anything about it" approach-I'm not ready to get cocky quite yet-no people is beyond having a surprise sprung on them. That doesn't change the need to confront the problem, though.

#9 Well, if they are irked because Israel bought one, I predict some really strong feeling when they drop it.

#10 Holy Shmoe! I forgot it's double licious September! Please take your pick of 24 KC-135s (used) or 150 Block3 TLAMs! I know it's crazy! But it's September!

#11 The US sale of all that ordinance to Israel, announced publicly, in the quantities stated, is having the desired psyops effect on Iran. Make them quake in their boots with real facts, no bluffing. I like it.

Well said, Lone Ranger. I've maintained the same thing for some time as well. To meekly accept tyranny is to condone it. Members of my mother's family worked in the Danish resistance during the Nazi occupation. If a tiny country like Denmark can fight one of the world's most well-oiled war machines, others can rise against their tyrants too. That so many Muslims maintain a conspicuous silence under the thumb of their oppressors begins to smack of tacit acquiescence after a while.
