WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon pressed the U.S. to threaten Iran with international sanctions, warning Iran was quickly approaching a point of no-return in its nuclear program.
Sharon, who leaves for home Wednesday after a visit to the United States, repeatedly brought up the Iranian threat in talks with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

At a lunch meeting Monday with the president at his Texas ranch, Sharon's senior military adviser Brig. Gen. Yoav Galant gave Bush Israeli intelligence documents on Iran's nuclear reactor.
Bush was also given satellite photos of the plant, an Israeli official at the meeting said on condition of anonymity, but declined to give exact details on the information.

Israel is concerned about the Iranian nuclear program, warning that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons to go along with its missiles, which have the range to hit Israel and U.S. military bases in the Middle East.

2. Then tell Haliburton to stop fucking giving them money!!!!

They are giving them money that may eventually be used to kill our troops, fuck that and the stupid sheeple that would fall for an Iran invasion.

6. I think that talk of going into Iran would lead to massive protests

the likes of which this country has never seen.

I hope so anyway.

P.S. Sorry we got banned the other day. I guess our humor was lost on some folks! :evilgrin:

3. EVERYONE believes Israel has nukes.

That gives Israel tremendous leverage.

Nuclear Pakistan is a nightmare for Israel but a nuclear Iran means the end of Israel's "theoretical" nuclear advantage.

Israel would love for the US to strike Iran, but the US would love for Israel to do it instead.

4. Dear Israel..

... solve your own damn problems, we're tired of paying for them over and over and over again and getting jack in return.

5. this may be where Bush finally overreaches so far that . . .

the American people rise up against him . . . they KNOW that he lied about Iraq, and they're going to be damned suspicious of any reasons he puts forth for invading Iran . . . all of which will undoubtedly be just as phoney as his reasons for invading Iraq . . . these are middle America's sons and daughters he's putting in harm's way, and he damn well better have irrefutable proof this time . . . and he doesn't . . .

7. Let's hope this wakes them up

If he starts this Iran noise up, I would hope that millions of millions of protestors would march on Washington.
