I'd be more worried about a terrorist nuke in the U.S. that Iran even getting their hands on one. Israel knows where they stand with them. They won't let it ever get to that point. I hate to say it, but the Mossad is a far better intelligence organization than the CIA and they are unfettered by political correctness. In addition, Israel doesn't give a damn what other countries think about them. They'll know where Iran is in their program and they'll act, with or without world support.

 

Oh. Holy cow. :shock:

 

Which is the way it should be.......CIA? U.S. Intelligence? Now thats laughable. I do believe Israel will do what it needs to do without regard for what the world thinks...good for them.

 

I agree completely with ALL of this. And, in part, that is why I don't share the tinfoil hat that the "They're gonna nuke us" crowd wears. Remember, we weren't talking about dirty bombs on U.S. streets, nor even them GETTING a nuke. We were debating whether WE (or the Brits) should NUKE THEM over a minor hostage incident.

T/F, since I know your "style" on this board, I don't take offense to that statement. But, I must beg to differ. I don't know everything about them, but I think spending the better part of 8 years monitoring, collecting, and analyzing intelligence on this part of the world puts me, at least, a step above "guessing."

I MAY be wrong about what they will or will not do.... and so might you. I would hope that we DON'T let them get nukes. But, I can't buy into the hysteria of some here that want to settle ALL our disputes with Islamic Fundamentalists or terrorists by unleashing the devastation of a nuclear weapon.

Nor can I stomach the racism and arrogance of those who disrespect ALL Arabs, Persians, and Muslims. Didn't we kill enough innocent Germans in WWII, trying to kill their leader? For Christ's sake, people! Give the Mossad a bullet and a vantage point on this guy.... and MOST of our problems will be over!

 

So, I just read about the British folks that just got released. I'm starting to understand this thread. :P

 

What??? Get Sirius!! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

J/K!!!! :wink:

 

Sirius Black?

He's dead, by the way.

 

Yes... I DO! The current protocol, and hightened state of readiness, would dictate JUST THAT. Our "retaliation" would be launched on standing orders (with or without the President's signal) before the first nuke hits our soil, or Congress ever became aware of it.

That would make an interesting movie.... but I don't see it happening. Our current belief is that, at least SOME of our forces, especially those overseas, would survive and have a job to do. That job will be easier if we have crippled our attackers, as well. It would be a horrible event, no doubt. But, we have plans to survive and WIN such a conflict. To the Victor go the spoils. And the world would be nothing LESS than "spoiled." But, we know we must and will prevail. And whatever you think of Clinton, Carter or the rest.... be assured that the President knows his duty.... and will do it without much more than a moment's thought.
