The latest nonsense to come out of the summit of American government is that there is "no hard evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear bomb."
Barack Obama takes great pride in the killing of Osama bid Laden. That may close his account with 9-11. But Iranian nuclear capacity can reduce that disaster to a trivial incident.."
At a time like this, one has to rely on the wisdom of elected leaders. Experience has given me sufficient confidence in those running this country to expect that they will not exaggerate in their use of military power.
But if they do, we'll have to accept the consequences.
If what we hear from Washington truly is a preoccupation with something that would satisfy standards of "hard evidence" or "absolute certainty, then Barack Obama and his administration do not justify a great deal of confidence.

Since 1985, it has provided nearly $3 billion in grants annually to Israel, with Israel being the largest annual recipient of American aid from 1976 to 2004 and the largest cumulative recipient of aid since World War II.[2] Congress has monitored the aid issue closely along with other issues in bilateral relations, and its concerns have affected Administration's policies.[1] Almost all U.S. aid to Israel is now in the form of military assistance, while in the past it also received significant economic assistance. Strong congressional support for Israel has resulted in Israel's receiving benefits not available to other countries.[2]

The Iranians have been invited time and again to negotiate, and to open their sites to international inspection. The responses have been obfuscation. Even the International Atomic Energy Agency, which was Iran-friendly when it was headed by an Egyptian, has thrown up its hands at the lack of Iranian cooperation.

Israel has proved time and time again that they are a tough people but are they so tough without tougher allies? Would WW1 have begun if small nations with big mouths have occurred if those small nations didn't have powerful allies. Being a superpower is a moot point if it is manipulated into action by the little guy.

Do you honestly think that China, Russia and the United states could sit on the side lines while the two biggest oil producing nations fight an all out war? What you are suggesting is the best recipe for WW3 i have ever seen......
Saudi Arabia and Iran are already in a proxy war in Syria (and other places). Let Saudi Arabia 'take care' of Iran.

- He is right about Washington being full of nonsense.
- Israel should look to it's own defense, but we have treaties with it, like we do with many countries.
- An Iran with the nuclear bomb is coming. And it's not just 'Israel's problem'.
- Saudi Arabia and Iran are already in a proxy war in Syria (and other places). Let Saudi Arabia 'take care' of Iran.
If you're the ubermensch, may I respectfully ask whether you see the Jews and Israelis as the untermensch ?

Ofc there is no hard evidence that Iran is building a nuke.
But this is not the problem, because Iran only wants the CAPABILITY to build a nuke.Once they have the capability, the hard evidence of a nuke will come in 2 forms :
-a musroom cloud over Tel-Aviv
-a mushroom cloud in Iran's desert
First one have 0,0001 % to happend, second one will just trigger a nuclear arm race all over the Middle East...which, at a point, will end up in nuclear war between Israel and the future nuclear ME muslim countries.
Israel will choose the best option : attack Iran NOW, drag US in the war to finish off Iran nuclear program for GOOD (Israel limited capability strike) AND, MOST IMPORTANT, will make ANYONE ELSE in ME think 20 times before going Iran's way.
Hard evidence or NOT...the war is coming, and its almost here.I give 3 weeks max until SHTF.
