Now why didn't Israel think of that?

Israel already knows this is true ... so is this saber rattling?

I can see this happening and the missiles landing in Jordan :salute:

Iran Warning: Israel's Nuclear Sites Within Reach By VOA News
25 July 2009

Iran's Revolutionary Guards corps is warning it will respond to any attack by Israel with a strike on nuclear sites in the Jewish state.

Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammad Ali Jafari told state-run media Saturday that Iran's missiles are now capable of hitting targets in Israel, and that any Israeli attack would be met with a "firm and precise" response.

Israel sees Iran as a threat because of its nuclear program, and has been widely reported to be considering a pre-emptive strike. Like the United States, Britain and other Western countries, Israel does not believe Iran's claims that its program is for peaceful purposes.

From past experience, much of what comes out of the mouths of spokesman in the ME has very little bearing on reality. Remember Bagdad Bob?

If Iran has a credible deterrent to Israel taking offensive action, that is
significant when compared to the Israeli deterrent to Iran taking offensive
action, then everyone is well deterred from war. Far from the best
situation, but not the worst either.

"convert to deterrence"?

I have no converted or changed my mind on my attitude towards
deterrence by threat of destruction.

I have no doubt that deterrence works to some extent and never have,
but history shows clearly that whilst deterrence deters war, it does not
always prevent it.

Countless times leaders have thought that they posses a deterrent so
great that no one dare oppose them. Almost as many times they have
been proved wrong.

Ah, would:
"I have no doubt that deterrence works to some extent and I never have"
be more clear?

You don't have to love or believe in Him. He loves and believes in you!

On what does he base this belief in my existence?

Yes I am.
But even an all knowing deity can't know that for sure without getting
stuck in a logic loop.

How does all knowing deity now I exist?
He gets that information because he is all knowing and all knowing things
don't make mistakes like that.

How can he be sure he really is all knowing and hasn't just made the
mistake of thinking he is all knowing....he can be sure because he is all
knowing?

No deity can have a well founded belief of my existence any more than I
can of the deity's existance.
