#3 I fully support shooting down an Israeli plane as long as a Carter retread is aboard.

#6 This scenario has been discussed here previously. Taken a frightening stip further, what an IDF pilot(s) bail out due to hostile fire or equipment malfunction, land in Iraq and are policed up by US or Iraqi military personnel. Will he or she detained in an Iraqi prison facility or a US confinement center? Will they go there by.... train?

#7 Besoeker, any IDF pilot captured by US or Iraqi forces would, under Obama, probably be sent to Iran as an apology.

#8 I don't want to defen Zbig or Obama here, but is this threat really serious?

Wouldn't the use of US military power in the defense of Iranian nukes be an extremely unpopular move (to put it mildly), provoking congressional countermeasures (condemnation, defunding, threat of impeachment)?

The Obama administration could hurt Israel in a much less conspicuous though maybe equally severe way by sharing intelligence on Israel with Iran.

An Israel that had to operate under the assumption that her deepest darkest secrets were known to Iran would probably even be more constrained by that than by an empty threat of military engagement.

#9 "An Israel that had to operate under the assumption that her deepest darkest secrets were known to Iran"

I'll bet Netanyahu already does that, CF - since Bambi's in office here....

(At least I hope so.)

#10 The point, Cheack, is not that Obama would consider doing it, but that the Carterite fossil actually suggested it.
I remember the ridiculous picture of Zbig posturing on the Afghan-Pakistan border shortly after the Soviet invasion in 1979, aiming an assault rifle into Soviet held territory on the other side for the benefit of news cameras. The Russkies were probably thinking "Yeah, make my day."

#11 the American president must give the order to shoot down Israeli aircraft as they cross Iraqi airspace

Is this guy a total idiot? Does he even have a clue about who our enemies are?

#13 All this time I thought Brezinski had no sense of humor.

#14 Remember that Brzezinski belongs to CSIS, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a collective of the very worst failures of American foreign policy since the 1960s.

Other members include Henry Kissinger, Madelyn Albright, Carter-era draft dodger and SecDef Harold Brown, general purpose scoundrel Richard Armitage, ex-Republican RINO/ex-senator William Cohen, etc.

CSIS wanted to be SPECTRE, but none of its members could figure out how to operate an elevator.

#15 SPECTRE - SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion : Anonymous - CSIS is part of the organization; everytime these people pontificate the "C" or "T" comes into play.

I think Anonymoose just won the thread.
