Mark my words. Obama will want to look tough to win the next election. This is just what he needs to do it. It may not be a US only series of strikes but we will be involved.

If they really want a nuclear weapon they could just buy one from Pakistan or somewhere. If they had them already an attack wouldn't even be on the cards it's an insane logic loop. I am of the opinion that the US is being used in a proxy war by saudi arabia to take out it's main religious and political rivals. 911 they used to get them to take out Iraq . They could stop al queda and all the other terrorists grouops by cutting off their funding. Maybe it's just al;l those religious nutters in government that believe the end of time is nigh and want to start Armageddon in the middle east. Convince me I'm wrong

The US seems hell bent on starting another world war even if you are bankrupt. What do you think they would do if israel launched a pre-emotive strike.

Moscow warns against attacking Iran — RT

Israels airforce doesn't have the legs to hit Iran and do the job right. They would need support and or airbases in other countries, they would also need permission to use other countries airspace. Just look at a map. It will be a group effort, that's for sure. I also agree with you on Saudi Arabia. If you think about it it's a good move to take out a rival.

I just wonder how far it will go.

I hope the American people will have the sense to curb the lunatics in power who think warfare is a good diplomatic tool.

Did you know russia and Britain invaded Iran in 1941?

The Atlantic Charter was a pivotal policy statement first issued in August 1941 that early in World War II defined the Allied goals for the post-war world. It was drafted by Britain and the United States, and later agreed to by all the Allies. The Charter stated the ideal goals of the war: no territorial aggrandizement; no territorial changes made against the wishes of the people; restoration of self-government to those deprived of it; free access to raw materials; reduction of trade restrictions; global cooperation to secure better economic and social conditions for all; freedom from fear and want; freedom of the seas; and abandonment of the use of force, as well as disarmament of aggressor nations. In the "Declaration by United Nations" of 1 January 1942, the Allies of World War II pledged adherence to the charter's principles.


Not a lot changed has it?

Not a lot changed has it? No.... In the last few weeks Israel has been threatening to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities but I think It's nothing more than a ploy to pile the pressure on the USA to pile on more pressure on Iran. America Is just the patsy. If an attack was Imminent, why would Israel pre-warn the world?

The House Foreign Affairs Committee hurriedly convened this week to consider a new sanctions bill that seems designed to deter an Iranian nuclear weapon than prepare the groundwork for a war.
