Israel Has Until Week's End to Strike Iran,

UnderseaLcpl · 08-17-10, 06:22 PM

I don't think they'll try it, despite this being the perfect time to strike Iran, what with the US in the Middle East already, and in betwixt Israel and Iran to boot. Hitting the reactor may well put Israel in a worse political and military situation than it suffered after "Opera", especially considering the current US attitude towards the wars it is already fighting.

I really feel sorry for the Israelis. They're surrounded by millions of Arabs who want to kill them, and their most powerful ally is a lukewarm one, at best. Remind me again why this strip of land is the responsibility of the US and not Britain or France, who contributed to most of these problems to begin with.

I think it has to do with our country having the largest Jewish population in the world.

As much as I hate to see it, I hope they strike.The instability brought on by a nuclear Iran is just unacceptable.

I saw something about this earlier tonight and Bolton sounds like he is backing off/hedging, his statement. Perhaps he doesn't want to look any more a fool.

Try not to take things so personally honestly it is not all about you.

I refering to the politicians in general saying something then having to come back later to 'clairify' or backtrack.
