#1 It would not be surprising to see, between now and November 2, Mr. Bush come under growing pressure to warn Israel against taking action.
Pressure from who? The Euro's, or the American left? They both have an axe to grind with the Israeli's.
I'm all for letting the Jews have their way with the Mullahs.

#2 There are squishy touchy-feely leftists in Israel also. Oy Gevalt! However, their sense of self-preservation is also fairly strong.

#4 I think Israel's going to do the dirty work again. This way, the American role is seen as, at best, indirect.

#5 God Bless Israel. Its really sad that a country so tiny has to do the work that the United States, a(alleged?) super-power, should be willing to do without hesitation.

#6 Any one for a few B2s? I assume there are still some of them in that little British island in the Indian ocean, sitting there minding their own business. Excellent deniability.

#7 The Israeli ultra-leftists are just as wacko even being on the front lines of the counter war against the jihadic death cultists, which proves another idea concerning political power hungry Hillary, Kerry, Edwards, crowd. They are well aware of Iran, being the originators of the modern Islamic terrorist movement, thanks to one of Kerry's top foreign affairs advisors, Jimmy Carter, the same pencil neck geek which allowed the anti-Muslim fanatic Shah to be overthrown by the blood thirsty Khomeini Shi'ite street mobs and soon after instigate Hizballah terror in Lebanon's civil war plus and trained the terrorist metal case which murdered a horrific amount of U.S. Marines with a suicide car bombing into the Marine barracks.

Since a one world type Dem President Carter caused the Islamist nightmare in the first place, the one we now must confront, the Kerry bunch will never blame one of their heroes, instead they will somehow blame Bush and pull yet another failed 'allow the United Nations nuclear arms inspectors to 'do their jobs' (receive mounds of Iranian payoffs)

I firmly believe the Bush White House had the to the overall 'Iran doctrine', in other worlds, we, America & true allies have secured the old Soviet air bases on Iran's sandy eastern border. We, America and our loyal allies patrol the Persian Gulf and if required we can block every drop from every oil super tanker attempting to depart the Straight of Hormuz and economically strangle the mullahs only real source of revenue to promote their terror in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world.

That leaves Iran's oil rich western border with Iraq and Saddam is in the clink and we, America and her true allies control every single Iraqi air base ready to knock out Iran's threats if needed and will be.....after November 2nd, that is if Israel does not bomb Iran's nuke weapons plants before! Just like Saddam's French constructed and supplied Iraqi nuclear weapons plant. The Israelis were right and everybody else was wrong, including us, in 1981.

The Osiraq strike did not fully stop Saddam's quest for the bomb. Instead, Saddam's Iraq went underground and worked in secret until the program was uncovered by the U.N. nuclear watchdog in 1991.

The article above mentioned former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, a true noble leader of the Jewish people living in the state of Israel in my eyes. A man who also brought peace with another brave man in the form of Egypt's Anwar Sadat, who paid the ultimate price, we now know on the orders of a doctor turned terrorist slug which become Al-Qa'ida's number two terrorist.

Where is Iran going to go, underground or offshore into the Caspian Sea?

It's called being out flanked, surrounded , reciprocity baby, payback to the very same murderous Iranian clowns which ousted the Shah and plunged that modernizing oil rich Persian nation into a 7th century Islamic state of fear and death.

The majority of Iranians were born after the dark year of the bloody Khomeini, Carter approved coup. There are many Iranians just waiting for the day they can strike a blow for freedom, this time with American and allied assistance.

The Nazis tried to use Norway during the early 1940's in their quest for an A-bomb (info they shared with the Japs) and it was the free loving people of Norway which supplied the British Royal air force with the locations of the Nazi heavy water production, so those facilities could be bombed of the map. Those Iranians longing for real freedom will gladly assist outside forces in the very same way. Watch all this unfold.

In saying all of the above we must be made aware of the potential downside when attempting to overthrown a suicidal regimÃ© which has nukes and a lot of exportable petroleum coupled with being directly across from the largest producer of oil in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia. If all this transpires in the dead of the upcoming frigid winter everyone can easily fathom the probable adverse effects on Gulf related crude oil supplies.

In-action on the Iranian nuke-terror question will result in the unthinkable!

Have a nice November Ramadan in Tehran Mr. mullahs, since it's your last. .

Oh boy ,,,,toooooo long!

#9 "President Reagan personally criticized Israel."

Prove it, you stupid bastards. Reagan has always been pro-Israel. Can a dead man RIP around here? Geez!!

It was George HW Bush and James Baker that always criticized Israel including stopping Ariel Sharon from killing Arafat in Beirut, the end result being 270 Marines dying from a car bombing.
