Default Israel will have to act on Iran if UN can't

BERLIN (Reuters) - If the U.N. Security Council is incapable of taking action to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, Israel will have no choice but to defend itself, Israel's defense minister said on Wednesday.
The U.N. talking shop is a waste of space.

Don't panic Israel will not mess around.

And you know that if they do this, they'll be blamed for another international incident despite saving the world from numerous problems (like they did with the Osiraq reactor).

  • They cant do it on their own as they have to use Iraqi airspace. American involment is certain. Unless they bomb their way through Saudi-Arabia. Talkin about hitting two rargets with one stone.

My question is, if Pres. Bush was so set on keeping WMDs our of Saddam's hands, why would he sit back and watch the mullahs and terrorism exporters openly develop nukes?

Hoping they won’t be stupid enough to try and use them and force them in to deterrence until they are bankrupt. :hmm:

Good point Neal. (Maybe they really aren't as close to developing WMD's as the media reports).

As for Israel, sure let them go it ALONE into Iran, without any Western help. Why not, it's their turn anyway.

Besides we don't want to continue draining our financial resources over here, for a war over there. (There are lot's of other things that our Western countries need to spend money on here at home).

Um...and just who do you think would pay for the operations? The U.S., of course. We already pay for a substantial portion of the Israeli military budget. The deal is we give them the money and they turn around and buy American equipment to keep Americans employed.

P.S. 800th Post

C'mon, the whole world outside of Texas knows by now George only did Saddam

1. for his dad
2. for oil.

Besides, I think he can't take no more. He seems mentally bankrupt or at least emotionally drained.

Looks like the West is going to sponsor Israel to have that great AF of 'em have another go at radical muslims..

man I'm outta thoughts on the krazy crap going on ... maybe I need to go join Skybird and play that new tank game I read some about him playing.


I wonder the same thing on this question but I think he is just gambling some in that Russia and China will possibly apply some pressure or at the least give the " NOD" or whatever the signal is between big dogs to allow the other one to devour prey.

It is impossible for Israel to attack Iran. This can only be done by the U.S. I checked using the map and found that if Israel is using Military aircraft to attack Iran, then they have to fly over Gulf or aquaba, Red Sea, Enter Arabian sea and then go and attack Iran which is nearly impossibe. Even if they want to fly over Iraq first they have to fly over Saudi Arabia or Jordan, or Syria. Another way is to go through Turkey and attack Iran.

If we see any attack by Israel, then it will be by using Ballastic Missiles or Cruise missiles fired from ships or subs.

And if the U.S is doing it, they can do a Iraq on Iran. They can enter Iran from Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey and send carrier battle groups to the Arabian sea and the Persian Gulf.

Here's a wild idea.

Since Dubya and the president of India are good buddies now, let India nuke/bomb Iranian installations in total secrecy, and have them put the blame on Pakistan. Pakistan must feel worried of becoming in the middle of 2 nuclear powers, which establishes the motive.

A groundwar between Pakistan and Iran will ensue in the south.
Etc
2 birds with one stone



PS Or simply have B2s/Nighthawks fly from Afghanistan to Iran and bomb the hell out of anything they feel like

I think Europe needs to get off their butts and help. The US won't do it alone (and bear all the criticism again).
