Israel stands ready to bomb Iran's nuclear sites

If Iran has nukes...no.

Iran without nukes. Yes.

Iran has a larger army and navy.

Quality is lower but numbers can still be telling.
Remember the US was quality and the Russians quantity during the Cold War? We proved what they had in Desert Storm. They had crap.

Agreed. After a lengthy buildup sometimes its a good idea to flush out a lot of your enemies in order to identify and service targets if you have superior offense and defense tech.
 
I fail to see why any of you even bother.
Firstly, do you truly believe Isreal will attack Iran if the US doesnt publicly promise support?
Secondly, Isreal, even with US help which Obama will NEVER give, cannot defeat Iran. NATO and the UN will not allow the United States to tear the Middle East apart with war. Though they can do little about it in terms of direct action against the US without damaging the world economy, President Obama will not risk pissing off NATO or the UN.
And finally, without US support, Israel cannot defeat Iran. You forget, Iran has allies too.

1. A combined US/Israel force could EASILY decimate all of Iran.

2. NOBODY ... including other muslim nations wants Iran to have nuclear weapons. NOBODY would attack Israel or the US for stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions. They would publicly condemn it but they WOULD NOT attack Israel for doing so.

3. Why are you defending Iran?
 
They dont need a powerful Air Force. There Infantry force alone and AA weapons could effectively destroy Israel.
And if they needed aid in defeating the IAF their allies (before stated, see previous page) would gladly do so to defeat the only real Western ally in the Middle East. (with the exception of Iraq, which is commonly considered more of an American Protectorate State.)

Put the pipe down and back away from it slowly.

I have some knowledge of the subject of nuclear fallout. It was my job in the military to plot fallout should there be a detonation of a nuclear weapon. There are many factors that contribute to where radiological fallout will end up. These factors include the size of the weapon used, the type of burst air, surface,or subsurface burst, atmospheric conditions such as precipitation, wind direction and speed, wind vectors at various altitudes, etc. Most of this information can be obtained from an EDF (effective downwind forecast) or a EDM (effective downwind message)

If a TNW (Tactical Nuclear Weapon) which is a small battlefield weapon where deployed it is possible to do a significant amount of damage without effecting a large area with fallout.

And besides the leaders of Iran are twelvers. The want to prepare the world for the return of the 12th Imam Mohammad al-Mahdi. Suicide is a cost that they will gladly pay. Part of there belief is that the world has to be in termoil. That includes war on a massive scale, destruction like the world has never seen. Also the the persecution of muslims. These things will bring the Madhi out of hiding where he has been for over 1000 years.

I second your opinion ... and I feel that I must point out that ... Iran has yet to ANYTHING that makes sense.

Iran is not run by sane, logical people. Rather they are operated by a collection of extremist baby killers with nothing to lose put power in the region.

Iran's government is a worthless Islamic theocracy that murders 15 year-old girls because they are SUSPECTED of being unchast.

Kayambi Comminque fails realize that he argues in favor of a collection of genocidal baby killers... when he claims an attack by Iran would make no sense.

Kaymbi Communique's whole argument makes no sense unless you happened to be an pro-Iranian jihadist.

I remember a few Arab countries thinking like that and got their ass handed to them by Israel.


I don't think Allah and the hezbollah count as allies.
