31. Sneak Attack
David ,   London UK   (10.18.12)
Everyone is expecting Iran to strike with a millitary response, one that can be intercepted. What if they cheat? If Iran sent warships in to the Med they would be watched and Israel would be prepared. But if several large bulk cargo container ships, flaged as Chinese sail up the Suez and into the Med, no one will pay any attention 'because they are not warships'. Inside the cargo containers are large numbers of missiles and low flying exoccet missiles. They ships sail right off the coast of Tel Aviv and could launch a devistating supprise strike that no one is prepared for.

Israel gives the US intel.... Like how Bibi gave the US intel that Iraq had WMD and the US went to war to remove Saddam on the basis of false intelligence? Britian lost 400 troops and 2,300 injured in a war we did not need (while Israel, America's 'great ally' sent no troops at all).

You hang on a Persian hook watching rockets fly overhead every week. What you can teach or run circles around is rather questionable.
34. Proportion
youknowwho ,   RSA   (10.18.12)
3500 USA troops 1000 Israeli troops 30 mil USD - USA 7.8 mil USD - Israel Do any of you dissenters know about proportional spend?

A number of countries gave the US intel regarding Iraq's WMDs....your own among them. Not only that, but Ariel Sharon warned Bush that a war against Iraq could very well come back to bite us on the rear end, because it could leave Iran in a strengthened position. Also, the only reason Israel sent no troops was because of America's fear that it would cause any coalition that included our so-called Arab allies to fall apart. Same shit happened with the Gulf War.
