Israel's bunker bomb buy irks Iran

[flamingpie2500]

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Iran has said it will react "most severely" to any Israeli action against its nuclear facilities, issuing the warning after Israel said the United States was selling it 500 bunker buster bombs.

Israeli military officials said Tuesday that the Jewish state will receive nearly 5,000 smart bombs, including the 500 one-ton bombs that can destroy two-yard-thick (two-meter-thick) concrete walls.

In 1981, Israel bombed Iraq's nuclear reactor before it could begin operating.

And not only are we supplying them, we are also PAYING for them. (If I am reading this right)


The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday that funding for the sale will come from U.S. military aid to Israel

6. I don't see how Iran avoids war if Bush is elected - we'll do the deed via

Israel as to atomic plants destruction - and the Iran declares war on Israel - and the US invades Iran from both sides.

The sale of the bunker busters - and the will making of our troops that may be deployed in the spring - make things very obvious.

Iran is following the Iraq idea that there must be a way to not completely surrender to Bush - demands Nuke rules respect them -

And we know how Bush uses that kind of actions to justify war.

Bush will destroy the Shia government by Mullahs concept - but at a possible cost of destroying the US economy.

9. This all sounds so familiar

Let's review, shall we? The US, gave(sold?) missiles to Israel,and Israel gave missiles to Iran, who in turn held the hostages until that scumbag, Reagan, took office. Oh, wait, wrong war.
Here we go: dick cheney and don rumsfeld sold weapons and nuke shit to Iraq and Libya and Israel and Pakistan and North Korea, Then they weasled their way into the Whitehouse and blew up the world trade center so they could suspend the constitution and wage endless war. No wait, that can't be right ! Who the fuck in their right minds would do some evil shit like that?

10. Even if the IAF doesn't use them on Iran

I'm sure they'll be useful on suspicious gatherings of Palestinians in those two big concentration camps known as the "occupied territories". I mean, heck, they're still brown people aren't they?:)

Also, at least they get charged for these (sure they will). Unlike their nukes, that they "stole" all the plutonium for from "secure" US facilities.

12. The funding comes out of the U.S. military fund for Israel. A deadly gift

13. Israel and the US have to be the two most warmongering empires on earth!

They certainly are among the top three.
