#2 Sounds like a belecose Iranian threat of war no matter what any one does.

The UN should be on notice. No requests for UN permission are required. Nations have the right to premptive acts of defense. The US has the right to aid it's allies and Israel has the right to act before Iran strikes.

#5 Hey dumbass if we strike the reactors, we are taking out your airforce and missle sites too.

#6 If you have any airforce left after a strike and it can get over Iraq and not get shot down by our aircraft and isn't wiped out by Israel after it gets over the border, we surrender. You obviously have UFOs. I for one welcome our new alien, Islamic overlords!

#7 They are undoubtedly planning a solely missile attack against everybody. They have become convinced that their missiles make them both unstoppable and invulnerable.

It seems that they don't really have much of an appreciation for scale.

#8 Okey Dokey, so instead of waiting for March 28, ergo proving the Lefty MSM wrong, Iran decided to up the ante and attack first [Samarra?]??? IRAN > D*** YOU, DUBYA, WE DEMAND/WANT TO BE INVADED - ATTACK US NOW OR WASHINGTON WILL GLOW IN THE DARK!
VOTE FOR HILLARY AND MOTHERLY COMMIES, INFIDEL DEVILS = SAVIORS!?

#11 I would imagine an Israeli Reactor would be heavily reinforced and dug in deep. The one or two that would actually make a direct hit would not be a game ender (besides the core would be nice and cool weeks before things go their).

Two wild card variables thou,
1) Syria are they going to jump over the cliff with Iran? (Personally I think Baby Assad will be thinking more along saving his own a*s.

2) How will Israel respond to being hit with missiles?

3) Iran knows its the end would they pull the WMD tips out of storage? Their missiles are not accurate enough for buildings or even reactors but cities very doable.
