Israel stands ready to bomb Iran's nuclear sites - Times Online


An accompanying article:
Obama's stance worries Israelis | theage.com.au

This will be interesting.
To be a fly on the wall when the calls are made.

My wishlist would be real time streaming video from the strike aircraft.
 
But this time we might choose to allow Israel to defend itself so that we could be the "good guy".
I have to wonder how much tacit approval Israel would have from the Arab nations for such a strike. As much as the Arabs are opposed to the Israeli state, I don't see any of them being particularly enthusiastic about Iran having nuclear capabilities. Nuclear capacity would tilt the balance of power so far towards Tehran that the Arab nations might feel compelled to pursue nuclear programs of their own.

I can easily envision the Arab world publicly being outraged at an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and privately going "whew!".
 

I wonder what the Arab people and Imams reaction would be. The estimated 30% of all Muslims who support Islamism would likely not take this sitting down.
 
There is absolutely no evidence that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. This is all hype.

This is EXACTLY correct. Most of the arab world, except maybe for Palestine and Syria) will publicly condemn the attack but secretly they will rejoice that Iran has been disarmed.

Most nations in the middle east do not want Iran to have nuclear arms. None of those nations will retaliate against Israel for putting a foot up the Ayetollah's ass.

I do not believe the current US Presidency will support such an act. In fact, Joe Biden has already cautioned Israel about such an action.

Honestly, I hope the situation can be resolved without the use of force; however, I doubt Iran is going to be cooperative.

Says you ... and you are usually incorrect.

Iran's nuclear fuel has been enriched WELL BEYOND what is needed for generating electricity.

This is evidence enough that Iran has more on their agenda then civilian power generation.

Wake up and smell the coffee!

:shock:
 
I would like to see a link to your statement
 
Vader, you should know by now that I don't respond to your posts anymore, as you always end up trolling regardless of what I say, so it's a waste of your time to respond to mine.

Just a heads up.
 
Iranian Progress Toward Nuclear Weapons

This site explains Iran's nuclear program from head to toe.
That site only gives Michael Crawford´s opinion up to july 2008
and makes no mention of your claim that ¨Iran's nuclear fuel has been enriched WELL BEYOND what is needed for generating electricity¨
Iran Is a signatory of the Nuclear non proliferation Treaty which brings obligations and Rights, one of those rights is the development of Nuclear power

Iran has just as much right to develop nuclear weapons as Pakistan, North Korea, or Israel. Iran should be an ally of the West, not an enemy. They are an ancient civilization, much more stable and reliable than Pakistan. To destroy the reactors they have worked on for so long would only create terrorists.

Iran doesn't seem to think so.

Abdul Qadeer Khan only sold Iran recipes for cookies and pies....:roll:
 
A snip here and a snip there

The official added that: "The nuclear material has been under containment and surveillance at all times."
Iran has enriched enough uranium to make bomb, IAEA says | World news | guardian.co.uk
 
My opinion on this can be summed up in one sentence:

"Whew! What took you so long??"

Iran with nukes... not good for anybody. Including the average Iranian.

G.
 
Most people believe its only the US and Israel against Iran wanting nukes, hell no one in the ME wants Iran to obtain nukes.

Agreed, Not even Iran wants them
BBC NEWS | Middle East | Iran call for nuclear-free region
 
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for the Middle East to be free of nuclear weapons.

:lamo :spin:


Yup, he wants to have a monopoly.

So why the mad dash to enrich uranium? They don't need nuclear power plants that badly.
