General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: What that fucking asshole Netanyahu said on Meet The Press: [View all]still_one
(98,883 posts)beat the war drums. There is no doubt in my mind that his innuendoes are co-ordinated with the romney campaign, and it should surprise no one that Netanyahu and John Bolton both see eye to eye on this.
I find it interesting that his administration was one of the cheer leaders who were also pushing the talking point that Iraq had WMDs
How did that work out?
It was because of that excellent move that Iran is in the position it is in, and the whole middle east is destabilized.
What is being proposed here is a pre-emptive action to attack another country on the basis that they a developing nuclear weapons.
The implication that Netanyahu is making is that Iran would use that nuclear weapon pre-emptively against Israel. Does anyone really believe that Iran would NOT be leveled back to the stone age if that was done? It would be suicide for them, and that is why it would not happen.
My next point is when we were attacked on 9/11, what did we do? We invaded two countries. One was Afghanistan, which was providing sanctuary to our attackers, and the other, Iraq, was based on a lie.
If Iran was preemptively attacked, what do you think they would do?
