OBAMA UN AMBASSADOR RICE BLEW OFF NETANYAHU SPEECH

[joe bloe]

Obama keeps sending, not very subtle messages, to Israel, that he will not stand with them in the inevitable confrontation that is coming with Iran. This is one more.

No, we're sending Bibi the message that he doesn't decide when the United States goes to war with another country. Israel exists because of us. We make our own policy regarding Iran, not Netanyahu.

Bibi needs to get his own defense minister and military in line with an attack on Iran before he starts trying to dictate to us about a timeline for an attack.

What I don't like is the rhetoric of "when" we go to war. I'd rather not have another war.

nor I sir, ... what everyone needs to understand is the simplistic mindset thats an inherent trait with rightwingers (in general) .. "war" is part of the shallow end of the genitic pool they swim in ..

I don't think we need to get involved in a land war with Iran, just bomb the hell out of their nuclear facilities. Unfortunately, there's going to be huge collateral damage, because the facilites are deliberately located near residential areas, schools and hospitals.

If we don't assist Israel, it's going to be very difficult for them to get the job done. I think they will try; they have no choice.

Whether we bomb Iran, or Israel does it, it's going to be a real hornets nest, that could easily escalate into a world war. If neither the US or Israel bombs Iran, and Iran gets a nuclear bomb, the potential for a world war will be even greater.

If Iran gets a nuclear bomb, it will almost certainly use it on Tel Aviv, and Israel will retaliate with nukes. At that point, the liklihood of China, Russia and America becoming involved becomes almost certain.

Iran is surrounded by US bases. Do you really think they will nuke Israel? They are smart enough to know that would be the end of Iran. They just want to be the big boy on the block. They aren't going to do anything, even if they get a nuke. They are the big talking bully, with no backbone.

Of course it would be crazy for Iran to nuke Israel, and I think that's just what they intend to do.

Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, are not just Muslims, they are also followers of the so called Twelfth Imam. They believe he will return when the world is in complete chaos, exactly the scenario that would result from attacking Israel with a nuclear bomb.

The followers of the Twelfth Imam believe he has been living at the bottom of a well for more than a thousand years. These people are CRAZY.
