Military analysts said the disclosure of the plans could be intended to put pressure on Tehran to halt enrichment, cajole America into action or soften up world opinion in advance of an Israeli attack.

As a side note, and given the nature of this forum, where do you think the Isreali submarines are? Perhaps the IAF is the diversion.


Or perhaps, it is taking military contingency plans of the sort that every single country in the world has on file and using them to terrify people.

Not really. I've been waiting for it to actually happen for a while, surprise it still hasn't. I'm personally not at all averse to this solution; and Israel should now that they're the ones most threatened by this.

I'm on the left-wing side of things, but I'll still be the first to agree that this "friendly" is, well... :hmm:

Looks like the US Congressional left/leadership is behind the idea.

Go Israel go! Someone has to stop them, or we will all deeply regret it later. It is that simple.

Some sources in Washington said they doubted if Israel would have the nerve to attack Iran. However, Dr Ephraim Sneh, the deputy Israeli defence minister, said last month: “The time is approaching when Israel and the international community will have to decide whether to take military action against Iran.”
GO ISREAL GO!!!

I fully support a nuke strike...

Everyone is so worried about "the fallout" and the "Humanity" of such an attack...

Let me ask you this: Do you honestly believe that making nicenice with Iraq or Iran , for that matter any of those Islamic run countries , will stop them from wanting your infidel head on a platter?
If you do ... go there and try to make nicenice ... please...

Well, joea... I dont think it would be "Magic".
But if Israel isn't protected... that sure would put a cramp in a few beliefs.

I personally am not worried about my Israeli friends. Israel has been proven time and time again. There will remain a remnant no matter the out come.


I just realised I have been spelling "Israel" this way "Isreal"...:rotfl:

This is a damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario. If you don't do anything Iran has the bomb and that is really frightening. Their bomb making capabilities are beyond conventional munitions capabilities, so what do you do?

Now let me make it clear that I do NOT support this "yay nuke" thing. As per the plans, I only saw a tactical bunker-busting weapon being suggested, which I would find acceptable since it serves a military purpose. "Nuke Iran" or "blahblahblah infidels" does not sound right at all.
