bombing Iran without evidence that they are cheating on the deal would be proclaiming that Israel and/or the US is entirely untrustworthy. Fortunately, Netanyahu is not a blind and stupid as Michele Bachmann.

Shiplord Kirelrss,

Does Bachmann actually think that Obama wants Israel wiped off the Map?

I’m not exactly sure why anyone trusts Netanyahu, or gives him credit for any intellect. He’s been a total demagogue in the league of Bachmann at times. But mostly, I so cannot understand anyone who could vote for Bachmann

Remember in the old movies and cartoons when that big ol’ hook would come out from the side of the stage, wrap around the offending actors neck and pull them off?

Yeah, that! Can’t come soon enough for this idiot.

By the way, anyone hear what she will be doing once out of office in 2015? I wished like in the old days, she’d just go away. Today…there are so many ‘nut opportunities.

She’s doing her damnedest to bring about the end times isn’t she?

The only way to appease the Kenyan Pharaoh is to send the head of Sheldon Adelson on a Trans-Am hubcap !!1!

(Hubcap is for VP Biden. He lost one in the White House driveway.)

Bachmann couldn’t make the war-mongering, bloodthirsty nature of her party any clearer with these ham-fisted, fuckwit statements of hers.

All I hear when these people talk is that they want to see a bunch of their fellow human beings die horribly, so some asshole friends of theirs can get rich. I couldn’t have a lower opinion of her if I tried.

House Intelligence Committee member Michelle Bachmann

There is so much wrong with that part …

re: #9 FemNaziBitch

The list of things wrong with that could go on and on. She doesn’t belong on any congressional committee, especially the one on intelligence.

I still don’t get it…so Iran gets nukes, (which they inevitably someday will barring some act of genocide against them by the western powers) so what?

So Iran vs. Israel will join the M.A.D. detente club along with the United States, France, and the U.K. vs. Russia and China, Pakistan vs. India, North Korea vs. South Korea (United States again really), etc, etc…

We know Israel has Nuclear weapons, we know they “stole” (lol, as if anyone actually believes that story entirely) the enriched Uranium for their first warheads from the United States.

With Israel’s military technical capabilities I am sure that they already have missiles capable of carrying a warhead into Iran. Given the announced intentions of Iran’s last President to develop nuclear weapons and missiles and also to “wipe Israel off the map” they would be remiss if they hadn’t developed the capacity to hit back.

Unless you believe that Iran is willing to martyr itself, and to also allow the destruction of some of the holiest cities and sites in Islam in order to strike at Israel then this is basically a non-issue.

Yes it ratchets up the tension just a bit more in an area where things are already on edge. No, it would not be a welcome development because it does increase the risk to Israel. The real question however is, how can you possibly stop it short of waging wholesale acts of war against dozens of sites within Iran?

Even then wouldn’t you only be delaying their acquisition of nuclear technology while turning their population more firmly against Israel and the U.S.?

So far the unconventional warfare campaign (sabotage) against Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities (by several countries). Along with the crippling sanctions against them have succeeded in slowing their eventual acquisition of nuclear warheads.

If Iran follows through on this proposed interim treaty it will slow them down even more, maybe they actually do intend to give up their quest for a nuclear weapon. I sincerely doubt that, even if only for the reason that “their enemy, the Israelis” are already known to have nuclear weapons capability.

Still anything that slows things down and gives diplomacy and reason more time to work has to be considered a good thing at this point. Israel does need to be on guard, and they need to let their adversaries know that they are. I just don’t foresee them being attacked as long as they are in a position where they can retaliate in kind.
