I couldnt agree more! Cheney is an idiot. Who the hell is he to say that Israel will attack Iran. He was interviewed on CNN the other evening and came across as a total ----hole. He should keep his nose out of things he knows nothing about.

During the Yom Kippur war the Israeli Army was on its way to Damascus. and 2 United States carrier jets armed with nuclear weapons were hovering above the Middle East for 2 days . Israel does not need our help but they will have it. US Army operating Patriot Missle batteries in Israel when Iraqi scuds were landing. DO NOT SAY WE WONT HELP YOU.

To Stephen: This is all so outragious. iI see the humor in your comment however. Lets assume Iran launches 300 missiles into Israel (Shihabs) and 3 have nukes. If one hits Tel Aviv, its all over but the funerals, in both countries. Many Israelis are prepared to relocate IF Iran just get s the bomb, forget about using it. Facts are: 30m dead Iranians and 15m Syrians, if Israel uses all its capabiloities..in 8 weeks. (See report to Congress)Both countries are history. Israel will survive but 1m casualties. Now, where does this lead us? Israel could knock out 9 Iranian sites..centrifuges, heavy water, etc..prior to Iran's loading nukes and launching. Iran would recover..and simply restart its program..claiming for peaceful purposes. Israel could hit 30 sites..and wipe out Iran's capability...but they are well protected and some underground as we know. Iran is suing Russia for the S-300s. Wowowo, isnt this exciting? Israel is being forced against the wall..but unlike a mad dog, it will come out smartly fighting. My guess: a few 1 megaton bombs..hitting Iranian targets..and threatening civilian cities, if Iran pursues the matter. Am I pessimistic and a war-monger..YES! Does Iran/Turkey and Syria really think Israel wil lallow another Holocaust after 65 years? Crystal Night did teach Israel a lesson...that is why they have 500 nukes..hydrogen bomb capability..and coblt, lithium, etc. as additional weaponry. Oh I forgot the BC weaponry...loaded on the Jerichos. Iran/Syria/Turkey...are playing with TNT, the nuke kind. I would, If I were Bibi, relate the above to Putin, Ahmad, England, France, Germany, Egypt....NEVER AGAIN, and mean it.

I get enraged when I think of how the Jews been mistreated on this planet . They are about to see the largest catasrophe this world has ever witnessed. When its over the Middle East will be patroled by a few million troops from all over the world. The Midlle East will become a restricted military zone soon after it becomes a grave yard. All this caused by Islamic hatred.

The world's affection? Are you crazy? Don't you realize that the world hates us, no matter what we do?

To Zionist Forever: I read you post with great fascintion. First of all, the US is weary of warfare..(reducing our imprint in Afghan/Iraq as you know), The US population would, never approve a US first strike against another Muslim country. This was foreseen years ago, in NYTimes articles I read. Okay, so why is Iran suing in the WC Russias denial of those S-300 missiles? Yes, Israel will lose many F15Is..especially since Turkey is a hostile player now. It has to go through Iraq or around the continent. What is the other option? Its really simple guys. Read Wikipedia for Israel's arsenal of WMD. (Now outdated). Israel has: 500 nuke warheads on Dolphin Subs, Jericho Missiles and its aircraft. It can launch mssiles sub and over orbital with accuracy. A few nukes hitting Iran's complex..and its all over with. I would allocate 15..with 10 for other targets.: .Rev Guards, perhaps the fleets big frigates, and missile boats, airfields, and tank formations if viable. Also, Iran's oil fields will be history. Look, M.E. cities are like SoCal where I live. One mistake and 4m people were denied electricity. Roads were impossible..etc. Can we imagine a few nukes hitting M.E cities..with their paper housing, bushes, trees, etc forgetting about dams, chemical storage facilities. One bomb over Tel Aviv and a lot of funerals. 30 over Iran..and lots of virgin requests. Am I just spouting hot rhetoric? Did Germany murder 6m of my people, including 1.5m children, with another 8m intended victims? Read Michael Orens Six Days of War for insights into the 67 War, had THEY won. Its called Judenrein/Judenfrei. If Obama acts, there is still time, but time is fleeting Mr.President Social security problems notwithstanding.

Go ahead, make my day !!! Cheney is so liberal with the blood of others.

It never made sense for Israel to attack Iran, Iran was a far greater threat to Israel's archenemy Saudi Arabia. And now, Israel will need to save its weapons and forces for more important things, to defend against the coming attack by Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah Egypt and Turkey. #12 as long as Israel holds Judea and Samaria, a single nuclear strike will kill 40000 but won't end Israel. The problem is that the world will condemn Israel even if attacked by nukes.

I know... The link between the U.S. and Israel will certainly not end.

Let’s hear if for global thermonuclear war. Hip, hip hooray!

Amen V Amen.... Bless you Brother

Cheney may worry about WMDs, but he doesn't know what to do about them. He allowed North Korea to develop nukes, which technology they are now busily transferring elsewhere, while invading the only major country in the Middle East without any WMDs.

After Israels first strike, the US will have to follow through !!!

Are you reading from your Protocals of Zion? Logic and wisdom rebuke you

Nothing like hearing an American singing his dellusions. America has never helped no one unless it was with a self-serving target. Invasion, abuse and exploitation is what has always colored every American gesture since its inception in human history. What is interesting is how Americans convince themselves of "saintly" intentions and goals. The patriot missiles manned by "brave" American soldiers were set with the intent to minimize an even greater Arab repulsion of the Iraq invasion had Israel pounded CIA-installed Saddam Hussein in retaliation for our receiving his missiles. The US has been the greatest stumbling block against our decisevely winning our wars with the Arabs. You need to stop calling ruthless conquistadors of "your" Indian land "pioneers" and oil-seeking invaders "saviors." Israel is alive -- and well -- due to HaShem ... and in spite of Washington's machinations.

i agree fully with your talkback, in that case. dick cheney is still a real hate-monger/a war-monger. iam very pleased to notice, that there is also a category of good-willing jewish people, who deserve to be admired for their fairness, courage etc.

Why do you constantly assume Israel would use its air power to do he job? Israel has dozens of Jericho 2 and Jericho 3 IRBM that could be launched for the first strike, and could later rely on its SLCM for an annihilating answer should Iran retaliate somehow.

Really? Just like at Auschwitz and the rest of the Jewish graveyard known as East Europe? You can pray. I say, give every Jew a gun and train him/her to use it.

You want a confrontation with Iran well you go right ahead. Leave Israel out of your wild ideas. You had the chance when they overthrew your embassy. What an idiot.

Closing Guantanemo and attacking Iran are two way different things. If you think Cheney is smart then Chaim you are dumb.

It seems operations are winding down in Iraq and he needs a new 10-year contract for Halliburton. Neither side should give this guy the time of day.

a military coup in the usa might be a good thing.Seems it is time to knock some doors down.Go ISRAEL.

the guy already lied to his people and the world in order to invade iraq and what do we get nearly 10 years on??? a very unstable Iraq where the Iranian influence has thrived...way to go Cheney (and ur supporters) for making the Iranians stronger.

If Israel attacks Iran it will be the end of Israel.

Dear Mr. Mahmood, The State of Israel has defeated numbers way more than the IRGC way back when it was an almost newborn country. Just imagine what they can do after 50 years of advancement. Do not mean to upset you, just stating the facts. Shalom

they will never attack Iran,they are saving the IDF's firepower for a much more important mission,and that is when the time will come to throw out all the jews from Yehuda and Shomron,to make it YUDENREIN. citizens of Israel,if you will not get rid of this leftist self hating regime,you will lose your country

a cure for your mental diarrhea! Who do you think has kept Israel under adult supervision? The US, you moron!

Huh? What kinda baloney are you babbling? Apologizing for defending our soldiers' lives from a fanatic lynchmob? If anyone owes an apology, it's Turkey for us, for attempting to breach a legal blockade. It's all in the Palmer report. I wonder, has the US apologized already to Afghanistan for killing hundreds of innocent Afghans?

Hardly surprised a view like that would originate from someone lurking in Europe. Wise up, Chris. We are in no mood for another campaign, and will not spend blood and treasure for the benefit of others. Our rather restrained role in the Libya sideshow should have alerted you as to that reality. If the Israelis pull a stunt that requires us to assume a serious, sustained combat role, then I guarantee the American populace will turn on Israel, and the alliance will be ruined, Chris. Let the Israelis start no wars they cannot handle in full.
