Israel’s Army Radio is reporting that President Bush intends to launch a military strike against Iran before the end of his term.

You all think this is really gonna happen, or that this is just another neocon new site reporting weird neocon crap?

what made you "switch sides" on that issue chuck?

and "just" bombing Iran's nuke facilities might work, but what are the repercussions? do you think Iran will just sit back and go, "oh well they bombed our stuff, we'll just continue on business as usual."

Because nothing was found, and lost of it was falsified.

Israel Bombed saddam's nuke facility in the mid 80's. If we did the same thing in Iran and they tried to invade Iraq, we would really mess up their army. If we invade, we would have to deal with more insurgents. Iran already supports foreign fighters in Iraq, although not as much as previous.

Do you think it'd take five years to hide/destroy some weapons?

I think if we simply bombed their nuke facilities and walked away, every single weapon left would immediately get launched at Iraq & Israel.

Not to mention if Iran does successfully build some nukes or other bad weapons, they're not going to be dumb enough to put them in some facility where they're easy to find. So we just end up with the same pre-Iraq war problem.

Sorry I meant to say lots and not lost. The whole congo yellowcake thing pissed me off. Why should we invade? My brother still serves and I do not want to see him go to Iran because I know it would be stupid.
