"A strike on Iran’s nuclear sites would spark a 30-day war with missile attacks on Israel's cities and as many as 500 dead, according to the Israeli minister responsible for preparing home defences."

Never trust Any politician, they always leave innocent civillan's out to dry.
 
Yea attack Iran... there wont be any consequences for doing so... right?
 
Jesus, even if being someone in Netanyhu's cabinet makes the stupidity of the statement somewhat expected. That is seriously, seriously stupid.

People forget that a small Lebanese militia with soviet era rockets, caused alot of chaos in the 2006 33 day summer war. Now Iran is a different story, they have powerful ICBM's. Not to mention the fact that the Lebanese militia is going to join in with it's revamped arsenal of 40,000 to 50,000 rocket's and missles, that they claim can reach anywhere in Israel.:shrug:

Just saying, don't kill the messenger;)

And not to mention Egypt and Syria. Also the rest of the world would cut off Israel pretty much.. well not the US. Russia and China would be pissed as well.

There is no "win" in this situation. Iran will be seen as the victim of Israeli aggression pure and simple.

Your right, Syria's president is allied to Iran, and also the Syrian Government has accused Israel of supporting the rebels, so he is angry about that.

Egypt, is now under the control of the Muslim brotherhood essentially, and they despise israel.

Russia and China, also have their own interests in not seeing Iran go down.:ssst:
 
... and, of course, Israel will want to drag the US into its conflict. We should tell Israel that not only will we not be dragged into their little war, if they attack Iran, it will mean an END to our relationship. No more aid, nothing.

Just say no to a ridiculous and unnecessary war against Iran.

I agree with you, let's not put American soldier's lives in danger.
 
If Israel attacks Iran the world will have to respond especially if Iran follows through with threats to block the straight of Hormuz. The EU is already considering stiffer sanctions against Iran. I expect the EU will ultimately support Israel if they go to war. Regardless I doubt the US or Israel will follow through with an attack until after the elections.
 
The WW1 was supposed to last for a few months. Instead it lasted for four years. Sounds familiar? :roll:
 
30 days was all that was needed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not 10 years.

To overthrow the current regime you would be correct. However, if were to do the same to Iran and not have a cleanup, that whole country would implode as a safe haven for terrorists. And before you say "Well they already are terrorists", you ain't seen nothing yet that would happen in comparison afterwards on something like this.

By not putting American soldiers lives in danger would be to tacitly abandon the region and then will ultimately put American soldiers lives in danger.

That's why Israel should not attack to begin with. If we tell them we won't support their attack, they won't do it. They're not going in without our support. They're not stupid, or at least not that stupid.
 
Hate to be a rules lawyer, but the OP should really change the title of the thread. I'm already annoyed i wasted my time reading through this to find it is just more posturing bull****/propaganda.

if only you were actually correct and we were not still over there ten years later

It's always supposed to be a quick and easy war, but it never is.

I agree that Israel should not attack anyone unilaterally....The US has already shown Israel that where the tenuous balance of the region is at stake the US will strive to keep the "peace" rather than side with one ally. An example of this is when Israel refused to sell the US Israeli made components for AWACS type aircraft to be used by Turkey. The US then opted for South Korean made components instead and sold the aircraft to Turkey at the risk of snubbing Israel.

Iran does not have powerful ICBM's. Iran's greatest missile asset is its relatively large stockpile of Shahab-1, Shahab-2, and Fateh's that they can utilize if properly organized against regional enemies with some real degree of success simply because it is a target rich environment and it is difficult to interdict them all. However their long range missile program is grossly overstated and half pumped up by media acceptance of Iranian claims. They are notorious liars when it comes to their long range missile program, and their naval missile program. The big threat to Israel from Iran will not come from a well aimed Iranian missile barrage. For crying out loud the actual CEP of some of their missiles might as well be a cityscape.

I don't follow. You are saying that an Israeli strike on Iran would compel... what? An Egyptian offensive against its neighbor despite all the evidence to the contrary? Or that the Syrian government mired upon the brink of collapse and expending all of its military energy to crush a rebellion would re-marshal (somehow) its forces for a serious attempt on Israel? The only thing I see value in, is the Syria scenario, and for other reasons.
?
 
It's the consequences of not doing so that has Israel concerned...

that they will no longer hold the nuclear monopoly in the region
the one that allows them to bomb sovereign nations with impunity



too bad

No, it is the right that has that concern, because their whole existence is determined by having "enemies" of some sort.
