31. Sure Trumpeldor - How Many
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (11.17.10)
Sure Trumpeldor, so does Israel. I just depends on how many tens of millions you want to nuke. So does France and the UK. It is a long way from the bases in the US and there are a lot of places that cannot be overflown, like every country in the Gulf region. But then you Europeans don't seem to care as log as you have our kids to do the dirty work. You Europeans have all the same capabilities as the US and you aren't in two wars already.

Mark do you remember 9/11 ? Do you think that the regime in Iran is less fanatical than the suicidal extremists that caused 3000 deaths in one day? If Iran is allowed to become nuclear & to eventually control directly or through proxies Syria & Lebanon would not that make Ahmadinejad very popular in Iran just like letting Hitler conquer Austria & Czechoslovakia without firing a shot made him a hero in Germany & inciting him to dare more lethal war plans? Thinking one can apease a fanatical regime through negociations or by making concessions to protect oneself is a recipe for a boomerang hit back. The US is postponing the day it will face the inevitable even if Israel is forced to preampt a strike made necessary by the reluctance of the US & its desire to improve relations with the Moslem world. Ahmadinejad is fond of calling Israel "the little satan" but Mark you should remember he is also fond of calling the US "the great satan".
34. to think Pauls questions were anything less than being a ...
(11.17.10)
smart ass is being a dumbass. Sorry paul but there is only one God and he has written off all the people of earth more than once. This next time around it;'s going to rain Fire. There is only one God who despite his anger towards men has decided to chose a family to try and redeem a few of these earthling. The Jews are the chosen Family. The seed of Abraham with Egyptian blood is rejected. OOOh I said it God chooses one and rejects another. This he has even done before some were ever born. So the truth is: Condemnation is for everyone, Mercy from condemnatoin is given based only on God's choosing, Not everyone is chosen. Good works and being a smartass does not grant you forgiveness, so paul your screwed cause you live in LV. lol Proof of election? is knowing God. well folks do you know him? or just know of him? the elect know him. Except the jews he will deal with them at a time when he causes them to know him but right now they don't.
35. 33 Joe - Where are Canada's Half Million?
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (11.17.10)
Maybe the US is postponing the day. But I don't see any single other country stepping up, not even Israel or Canada saying they'll put half a million boots on the ground and take 5000 or 10,000 dead to do the job. Everybody wants the US to put its kids on the line. But nobody is willing to take step one top put their own kids on the line. So sad, too bad. We ain't up for it. The US is in two wars now. Time for somebody else to take the risk and initiative and bear the blood and money expense and the guilt for the tens of thousands or millions killed. Canada has the equipment and so does Israel. So does Europe. And you all are not $$15 trillion in debt already. They can call us what ever they want. So can you. But my first priority is not having my kids die for some other country when the other country is not willing to put a single troop on the line. Not one.
36. Military strike would unite divided Nazi Germany
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (11.17.10)
Imagine Franklin D. Roosevelt would have been a coward like Barakah Hussein Obama.

zionist forever   (11.17.10)
Nobody is asking that a single American soldier is sent into Iran not go down the Iraq route just air strikes. Reality is only the US has the hardware in the area to do the job properly. If Obama let Israel off the leash and allowed it to try it may be able to do some damage and slow things down by a couple of years. The US can destroy the program once and for all. Destroying the nuclear facilities wouldn't unite Iran any worse than it already is. Already the so called reformer Mousavi he was behind the whole idea of Iran developing nukes. Its also better to keep the enemies we know in the form of the ayatollahs rather than try and overthrow them and take our chances like we did in Iraq so what do we have to loose?
39. To Mark #35
Joe ,   Canada   (11.17.10)
Mark you did not get my point. The US by letting Iran increase its military & political strength in the Middle-East is only setting itself up to an other surprise Pearl Harbour. A dictatorship like that of the Ayatollahs can only survive as long as they please their people with victories, genuine or faked. Their religious drive is so deep that one can be assured they will not stand still. Even if they do not provoke the US directly they have enough surrogates to try harming the country they consider as their supreme ennemy among all the infidels they would like to convert by force if need be. As zionist forever (#38) pointed out GI's on the ground would not be required to stop the plans of the irrational madmen in Tehran & Qom. Failing to act in time is just going to increase the probability of what you want to prevent: US kids & others becoming the unexpected victims of a disaster on a larger scale than 9/11.
40. Israel must act alone against Mad Mullahs.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.17.10)
The loathesome Obama regime seeks excuses to justify it's cowardice and sympathy towards Iranian radical Islamists. Did anyone seriously expect anything more from Obama? Israel must act alone against the Mad Mullahs and their nukes. The Obama regime won't offer any meaningful help.
