In reply to the discussion: What that fucking asshole Netanyahu said on Meet The Press: [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)63. What a fucking dumb thing to say.
I hope there is no deaths but if there are its regrettable.
You want to bomb the shit out of multiple sites in Iran, but you hope there are no deaths. What kind of disingenuous, dishonest yutz says dumb shit like that?
You are naive to think you can't wipe out their weapons program. It worked in the case of Iraq and it could work with the Iranians.
Actually it did not. Israel's attack on Osrirak convinced Saddam that he needed to speed it up. What did in the Iraqi nuclear program was the 1991 gulf war and the sanctions that followed; had he stayed out of Kuwait, it's estimated there would have been an Iraqi bomb by 1994. It could cause a setback in the timetable, but it would not eliminate the program. It may even accelerate the timetable as Iran dedicates futher resources to it in response to an attack.
Again I ask you, do you think its wise to allow them to weaponize? If they get a bomb, is it ok for them to use it to blackmail the Israelis?
You accept then that Iran should, right now be allowed to bomb the living fuck out of Israel, then? Same argument; Israel is threatening iran. Doesn't iran have the same right as Israel, then, to launch assaults on wherever it thinks Israel's nuclear weapons are?
Of course, I'm sure you'll understand and agree when iran expresses its hope that no one is killed in its bombing strikes of the nation threatening it, right?

Why? How is Iran going to 'wipe Israel off the map' without poisoning themselves?

So do you believe we should pre-emptively attack Iran, because that is what the bottom line is. And
