Im not really sure how to take your post. My comments in the thread was me putting some more possibilities out there. Im not sure where waterboarding comes into play and im not entirely sure if you are intentionally baiting me by bringing up law enforcement using the same techniques as the military.
Could you please clarify for me?
The speaker’s statements came against the backdrop of a Yedioth Ahronoth article which claimed that Netanyahu was preparing to call for early elections.
According to the article, the prime minister may seek a consensus at the start of the Knesset’s summer session in May with respect to holding elections in September, 2012, more than a year ahead of schedule.

doesn't america use preemptive strikes on "possible threats"? both the u.s. and israel intend to attack iran, so i'd say it's fair play for iran to issue an attackin order to protect itself from an announced attack.

i fail to see how it isn't an applicable comparison. a preemptive strike is something done when you're sure you're going to be attacked.

lets not forget who has all the illegal nukes here.
A preemptive strike is a military raid with a limited military objective which falls short of the objective of the initiation of all-out war. A preemptive war is similar to a preemptive strike, in that both are military strategies, involving an attack on an opponent suddenly when they are not prepared for an aggressive action.

If i was Iran ..
would i wait until ithe bomb start droping like rain in our heads ?
They probably analysed many scenarios like this one -->
The best defense is a good offense
but if i were Iran .. i wouldnt do that and strike Israel because they know Israel
will eventualy nukes the crap out of Iran and are salivating about it each days
with their new bunker buster toy that Obama gave them in exchange for this delay
So they have 2 solutions now
to wait till the bombs drop from Israel
to attack first because they know they will be attacked
This article is a ruse .. they want this war BEFORE the 21 december
not after .. time to wake up and stop listening to all the lying propaganda

Iran is breaching United Nations resolutions and increasing the size of its nuclear program amid an “alarming” escalation in global rhetoric toward its atomic plans, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
“The scale of the Iranian nuclear program is expanding,” Ryabkov said yesterday in an interview in New Delhi. This “is in direct violation of UN resolutions.”
The so-called BRICS group of major emerging nations that met yesterday in India said the situation in Iran can’t “be allowed to escalate into conflict,” according to a communique. Iran faces growing economic and financial sanctions over its nuclear program, which the U.S. and its allies say is a cover for making atomic weapons. Iran says it’s for civilian purposes.
Ryabkov’s comments “are eyebrow-raising to say the least,” according to ING Groep NV economist Simon Quijano- Evans, who notes that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Russia this month to warn Iran it has one last chance to reach a negotiated settlement over its nuclear program, according to a March 14 report in Russia’s Kommersant newspaper.
