Not that I want to see any of the above happen but what are the alternatives/choices?

I expect (sadly) that you are right Jim, and in some instances, nuclear bunker busters may be the only way to actually reach parts of the program.
I'm not inclined to believe Stratfors hacked emails, if Israel just used Commandos then either Irans nuclear program is a small shed outside of Tehran, or they just destroyed a small part of it.

I wonder how much damage 50 SOF men and a dozen Mk-54 SADM like weapons could do (detonated inside the Iranian bunkers of course).

Iran is a country prone to earthquakes...

The Izzy / heeb (don't get mad, I call muslims muzzies at times) will use all of thier allies powers to get their way, even if they do not deserve it.

Sorry, I am not anti-semetic, just sick of these warmongers getting precidence over starving Amercans.

I am sick of them using the holocaust as an excuse for the western worlds help in thier crusades. (against Palistine)

You guys hold Jerusalem, you won ok? Stop trying to kill Americans to keep it, ok?

We should tell them to go screw themselves, and let the brits support, what they started, rather than America...

Why are we on the hook for this? This was not our idea?

You all hate us as world police, until we defend you personally...

Edit: This is your mess too Europe, moreso than ours.

I may be wrong, butI've got a feeling they will attack them with custard pies and those lapel flowers that squirt water.

This would be preferable, and everyone could then go down the pub afterwards and sort out their differences.

Hamas being quoted with having said it would not get involved in any Iranian-Israeli war:

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood criticises Iran over Suez channel transit and warns of Arab Spring reaching out for Iran as well:

Be careful to cheer about this news. It's both poisened pawns.

true dat!

The only reason why Hamas should care, is that some of them probably know that radioactive fallout from a nuke aimed at Tel Aviv doesn't stop at the PA's border.
On the other hand there are for sure also some who believe that Unca Mahmoud developes a bomb that only kills unbelievers...
