Yeah, I know that. I was trying to make a joke about Mossad knocking him off if he wasn't friendly.

Maybe I should use or more often.

Nah, just make your jokes funnier!

Obama wants to stay on Israel's "good" side so that he can garner the Jewish vote, pure and simple.

No wonder Obama wants to stay on their good side.

Well, the Israelis publicly announced a few years ago that it's enemies weren't safe and national boundaries would not be respected in their bid to protect themselves from those they deemed as a threat.

Mordechai Vanunu!?! anyone?

Israel has acted before against a perceived nuclear threat. Given US troops in Iraq and civil unrest in Syria et al, they may strike sooner rather than delay. That would also minimise US/UK involvement (although, no doubt, assistance would be provided in spades).

Remember what happened to Gerald Bull, of supergun fame.

<pop><pop><pop>

Oh dear I've got a dreadful headache.

Gerald Bull had worked for so many parties in so many critical defence projects that he became an asset and a liability for several powerful groups at the same time.[26] It has been speculated that variously members of the Mossad, the CIA, the MI6, Chilean, Iraqi, Iran's VEVAK, or South African government were behind the assassination.

Crikey, talk about unpopular.

Now the Graniaud is leading with a story about how an imminent US attack on Iran is possible...

Interesting about the cyber attacks/wars being waged, albeit a one-sided one.

Looks like someone has been bumping off Iranian scientists for some time too. Dangerous profession.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Such a conflict would have the price of oil soaring. A pretty penny to be made by us dirty spekulants.

Such an Israeli action would be insane. Israel is one of the world's foremost military powers in terms of firepower and technology but due to the small size of the nation, one tenth of that of Iran, they would need to deliver a decisive knock out blow within about 3 months. Unlikely.

Imagine that Syria and Iraq would join forces with Iran - they are Shia majority states. There would be major distruptions in these Gulf states that are Shia majority - but ruled by Sunnis. I'd say we'd have the beginnings of WWIII.

Good opportunity to re-take the region and its oil?

[Churchill]

If US and UK politicians think that action can be limited to “key targets” then they are very deluded. Iran has many advanced weapons deployed its navy as it had deployed its navy close to US waters. The navy has among its fleet, submarines that have high-speed torpedoes similar to what the Russians have. I would imagine US and UK oil tankers and navel ships to be prime targets in retaliation.

Paddy - I am against this proposed íntervention - an attack against Iran would igenite the entire Middle East - perhaps the globalists might think it could somehow save the train wreck of the Western Economy - but it will all end it tears.

Just so long as we protect our belly-buttons we'll be fine!

That's silly, how will the planes take off?

ever wondered whre the Harriers went to ? :-0
