Tux of Borg Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Israel needs to fly over Iraqi airpace to get to Iran. There is no way the US is giving them the IFF codes to do that. In other news: American Passports Found on Bodies of Al Qaeda Fighters Terror nuke rocket attack plotted
RunTheBall Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Political posturing by Israel to get more pressure put on Iran. RTB
pdh1 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Yes, Heaven forbid some folks actually draw up plans to deal with a country who's president has said many times "they will be wiped off the map" while they thumb their noses at the UN in their drive to get nukes... they should just sit there and let it happen! yeah ok
VABills Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 You know it's times like this that BIB is needed. Any major country plans for this stuff all the time. They figure out scenerios and design plans for it. Whether the politicos implement is another story but the intelligence and defense branches are supposed to work up these plans in advance of needing them. No news here, poor reporting , and over hyping as usual.

Come on pdh, get with the program: Israel BAD!!!
molson_golden2002 Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Come on pdh, get with the program: Israel BAD!!! Many people do not appreciate them stealing land and claiming to be the only victims in this world. But so be it. If they attack Iran and the oil stopps flowing out of the straights of Hormuz, we have a real problem, maybe even a Great Depression.

And what will the effect be when Iran nukes Israel in a few years?
chicot Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Bah. Iran launching a nuclear strike on Israel would result in Iran being virtually wiped by the Israeli counterstrike. Even if Iran does manage to scrape together a bomb or two it would still be next to nothing compared to what Israel has. Attacking Israel would be suicide.

And we all know Muslim Extremists DON'T commit suicide.
molson_golden2002 Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 And we all know Muslim Extremists DON'T commit suicide. Yup, they all want to ie. The whole coutry would just love to kill itself. Yup, that makes sense
chicot Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 And we all know Muslim Extremists DON'T commit suicide. Some do, some don't. I very much doubt that the leadership of Iran is ready to sacrifice the whole country for a futile attack on Israel.

I bet you that you would like native american indians getting a state of their own in the US after all that was done to them, wouldn't you? I am pretty sure there were Jews living in that part of the world for thousands of years before any one had heard of Jihads and Car bombs. Did they all get tired of the view and move to Florida? What happened, do tell.... "Claiming to be the only victims in this world"? The Islamic world takes that crown, hands down. Who else burns churches and shoots people over a cartoon?
Alaska Darin Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Who else burns churches and shoots people over a cartoon? Southern Rednecks?
MattyT Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Southern Rednecks? Damn. I was gonna post that but couldn't find sufficient evidence about the cartoons. The church thing...no problem, but nothing about cartoons.
pdh1 Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Southern Rednecks? Really? I would have expected large riots in the streets over "King of the Hill" or "Larry the Cable Guy's" movie if that were the case....

Yes, stealing land, as we speak actually, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6112100482.html I once worked for a Rabbi--this was pre-911 mind you--and he used the same argument, namely that we stole the land from the Indians so we should not really mind what the Israelis were doing. I find this a very dark argument. What comes around goes around. Hitler used just this argument for invading Poland and the Soviet Union which led to the escalation of the Holocaust. So does that make the Holocaust ok? Its just such a horrible argument and shouldn't be used.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Some do, some don't. I very much doubt that the leadership of Iran is ready to sacrifice the whole country for a futile attack on Israel. The whole country won't have a finger on the button. That nutjob president of theirs and their mullahs will.
molson_golden2002 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 The whole country won't have a finger on the button. That nutjob president of theirs and their mullahs will. Nutjobs don't seek powerful positions to get themselves killed, they seek them to have power and the trappings of power.
