US to Israel: Get Ready to Attack Iran

(IsraelNN.com) According to reports in the UK’s Sunday Times, US President Bush told Israel he would likely agree to and order and attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, if current contacts with the Islamic Republic don’t bear fruit. In spite of widespread objection throughout the US military’s higher command echelons and the possible military, political and economic implications, Bush has given Israel the “yellow light” for an attack on Iran, according to US defense sources.

According to the reports however, the US is offering little in the way of support for Israel; no US forces will participate in the attack, and US bases around the Middle East won’t provide logistical and other support for any possible strike.

Wow, heck of a job Georgie! I hope that Iran has the strength to defend itself if this really goes down.
 
Good. Israel can kick Iran's ass so the neocons don't start another quagmire war there.

Dr. Paul defended Israel in 1983 when they attacked Saddam's nuclear facilities. They have a right to their national security, just as we do; if US military resources aren't being used for another country's security be they an ally or no, that's just fine.

What part of 'no US forces will participate in the attack' do you not understand? :rolleyes:
 
Oh how naive you are.

Of course the US will get involved. Heavily.

Just you wait and see.

after all.. You can't let those [redacted] have all the fun.. ;)

Pete... I was quoting the article from the OP. The OP then makes the assinine statement 'Wow, heck of a job Georgie!' The article specifically says the US has no plans on getting involved. This is a classic case of 'open mouth, insert foot'. :cool:

I can't see creating a war as being good for national security, Iran is a peaceful nation by itself, and has made it extremely clear that they never intend to be the aggressor in any conflict.

Whereas Saddam Hussein was hell-bent on creating a pan-Arab state under his dictatorship...not quite the same situation...although Iran and Iraq have similar names, so I guess that makes them fair game, countries with the prefix Ira = evil.

Iran is a peaceful nation? Are you kidding me? They support and fund terrorists activities all over the world for crying out loud! Many of the insurgents in Iraq are being armed and funded by Iran and some of them are Iranian! My gawd man! :rolleyes:
 
I love that some people here got the idea that non-interventionism means that we acknowledge theocracies that want to start nuclear wars as heroic and democracies that act in their own self-defense as despotic...

Iran says, "we want nuclear weapons, in order to wipe Israel off the map despite the fact that they don't even border us, let alone pose us any threat."

Israel says, "we're going to defend ourselves if you do that."

Leftist says, "Israel is an evil machination of dirty, greedy, hooknose Jews! Can you believe they want to defend themselves? I hope Iran wipes them and America off the map!"

Iran controls Hezbollah, hell-bent on overthrowing Lebanon. Iran has made Syria its puppet state. Iran's Ayatollah is a dictator, albeit with a puppet democracy.. oh right, just like Saddam Hussein. Iran has sworn to destroy Israel with nuclear weapons. I think the situation has a little bit more in common with what happened in the 80's than just the names of the countries.

This isn't like the current Iraq War either in that Israel has been directly threatened existentially by aggressive threat, Israel is not looking to nation-build, nor does it help Israeli business interests or anything. It's a total act of self-defense against aggressive guarantees. Of course I'd rather see this solved by diplomacy, but I'd also rather see a few conventional bombs destroy a nuclear facility than a a few nuclear bombs destroy a sovereign nation.

One country affirming its right to defend itself against threats of destruction isn't bad. It's natural law.

Iran never said that you fool. On top of that, they have never even said they want nuclear weopons, and on top of that, as per nine SUPRISE UN inspections, they are not building them either. Enjoy the propaganda as it destroys your ability to think.

Hey I got an idea, instead of getting ready for war, why not try to talk to people, mediate...try real diplomacy, not acts of war called "sanctions." Since we havn't tried it, maybe it could work...or at least calm them down for a bit and hold off the chaos for a bit longer.
 
We have pledged 30+ billion to Israel in military aid alone over the next 10 years.

A green light for Israel is no different than the US attacking.
 
Isn't it obvious.

Bush and Cheney will not miss opportunities to drive oil prices up, and encourage further military spending.
 
Unfortunately, the criminals in the White House will proceed with "open slather," till the end or their term.
 
israel attacks Iran, Iran will then throw missiles into Iraq. Welcome to a new war.
 
Welcome to 250.00 a barrel oil.

Guess what will happen? Economic chaos.

Will you allow Bush/Cheney to do that?

why do they so often come here JUST for this crap?

it would be a new poster.
 
Sure Irans the problem LOL,

why don't we bomb israel for having nukes????

Also whoever is trying to quote george on NOT attacking or participating... Do you think he is NOW going to follow what he says starting on this ONE issue?

Naive is a word that needs to be used more often around here.
 
"...for crying out loud! Many of the insurgents in Iraq are being armed and funded by Iran and some of them are Iranian! My gawd man! :rolleyes:
For crying out loud! How many covert operations have the U.S. conducted over the years. How many "freedom fighters" have we backed and supplied with weapons over the years. Those were American supplied missiles that the Afgans used so effectively against the Russians.
 
How surprising that the two posters trying to defend Israel's warmongering in this thread both have summer '08 registration dates.

Iran has never said it wants to destroy Israel with nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad was clearly talking about regime change (al la the Soviet Union). Speaking of the Soviet Union the line "wipe off the map" --which is utter invention on the part of the news media -- is borrowed from communist propaganda dating back to the thirties, just like "appeasement" and "aggression" and all of the other horseshit pejoratives that won't go away.
