And? This has been on the cards for a long time. Frankly, even as a centrist, sometimes you wave your hands in the air and say "whatever, go smack 'em down, boys".

But I eat WAY too many steaks.

When someone vows to wipe you off the face of the earth, it might be time to do a little contingency planning.

I'm not worried. This is their problem. So long as it isn't our jets warming up to bomb Iran, I couldn't give a fark. I just hope they don't cluster bomb Iranian civilians, as they are known to do.

Worried they'll get there first?

You have fun with that Israel... but if they pull that shiat while our troops are standing between them and Iran in Iraq, then we should just let Iran have their way with them.

Isreal is like the biggest US military base in the Middle East. Of course they're gonna practice that shiat.

I hope Iran really does have a nuke and uses it defensively if Israel attacks.

What took them so long. This shiat is the reason why speculators are bidding oil so high. Fear and instability in the Middle East.

When to we get a comment from North Korea about feeling neglected?

Cat Food Sandwiches: When someone vows to wipe you off the face of the earth, it might be time to do a little contingency planning.

Yes and yes. Well done!

ARMAGEDDON IS NIGH!!!

/repent?

And just what kind of dresses did they choose to bomb Iran with?

Maybe McCain can be president there, I mean, he already has a theme song.

7of7: I hope Iran really does have a nuke and uses it defensively if Israel attacks.

Do you really hope that? Have you thought more than 10 seconds about how horrible nuclear weapons are?

wolvernova: This is their problem. So long as it isn't our jets warming up to bomb Iran, I couldn't give a fark.

HAHAHAHA! Do you honestly think American forces would sit it out? Israel would cry for help and we'd be in the middle of it before we woke up the next day.

Fine by me. Let Israel attend to its own interests, it is not our job as Americans to provide their defense. If they wish to attack Iran it's frankly not our concern. As long as more Americans don't die then it seems to me little more than standard fare Middle Eastern madness.

Do Not Want.

I didn't know they covered Beach Boys songs.

Bombing Iran would be the great blunder of the 21st century.

Nestea Plunge: So how is Israel not a terrorist state?

Joking, yes?

"heh heh...it's like that song, bomb bomb bomb. bomb bomb Iran...heh heh"

It's time for the divine providence crap to end. have at 'er kids!

Approves.

That phrase doesn't exist in Persian. It's pure propaganda designed to inspire fear and hate.

As far as the Middle East is concerned. As long as the US gives a shiatload of money to Israel, its the US doing the attacking.

(Much like the west views Iran/Hezbollah's connection)

DarnoKonrad: Bombing Iran would be the one in a list of great blunders of the 21st century.

7of7: I hope Iran really does have a nuke and uses it defensively if Israel attacks.

They may have one or two. Israel has around 100.

This is easy math...even for me.

/Defensively...you keep using that word....

DarnoKonrad: That phrase doesn't exist in Persian.

Well it does, but that's not what was said. It would be:

Az soorateh donyah pakeshoon meekoneem.

Code_Archeologist: You have fun with that Israel... but if they pull that shiat while our troops are standing between them and Iran in Iraq, then we should just let Iran have their way with them.

I don't think Iran would "have their way with Israel". Israel has a pretty good track record of kicking ass.

They had enough trouble in Lebanon which is 100 times smaller and next door. I don't like their chances of doing well.

Charlie: Eh lieutenant, what were you doing there?
Goose: Communicating.
Maverick: Communicating. Keeping up foriegn relations. You know, giving him the bird!



Or have we already used up our allotment of top gun cliches this year?

Psycho Zombie Monkey: 7of7: I hope Iran really does have a nuke and uses it defensively if Israel attacks.

They may have one or two. Israel has around 100.

This is easy math...even for me.

/Defensively...you keep using that word....

It's not hard to see why. If Israel attacks, then Iran would be acting defensively. Simple math.

Religious fanatics should stay the hell out of gov't. When they don't, you get the likes of Iran, Israel, the US and countless others. People not afraid to die (or have their people killed) because hey, their mighty god will given them shiny bobbles in the after life!

Persepolis: Az soorateh donyah pakeshoon meekoneem.

As long as you keep your donyah out of my pakeshoon, we'll be okay.

DarnoKonrad: Bombing Iran would be the great blunder of the 21st century.

Seemed to work out in the 20th century. Besides, what, are they going to hate Israel more? Please let the first bomb be in Akmgettajob's mouth, please.

That phrase doesn't exist in Persian. It's pure propaganda designed to inspire fear and hate.

Right. The phrase is "off the face of history." Different phrase, same import. I know your head is somewhere where sound doesn't follow, so this is actually for the benefit of someone who cares.

To get to Iran they'd have to fly over Iraq. What a happy coincidence that we control the airspace!

siva: Do you really hope that? Have you thought more than 10 seconds about how horrible nuclear weapons are?

Whatever it takes to make Israel realize that just because the US gives it money and weapons it doesn't have free reign to destroy all the other countries in the region. I don't like the idea of nukes any more than anyone else, but when you're up against a country financed by the US you don't have a lot of options. It's either that or "asymmetric warfare".

Yes, you're right. Iran has never threated to destroy Israel. "It's pure propaganda designed to inspire fear and hate"

You really should read up. There are about 100 more examples of crazy right wing Israel loving propaganda out there designed to inspire fear and hate. We're all just loooooooney tunes making this stuff up.

Mr Logo: They had enough trouble in Lebanon which is 100 times smaller and next door. I don't like their chances of doing well.

Yeah, but they weren't doing the bombings US style where no one cares how many thousands of civilians dies.

It said the aircraft flew more than 900 miles,FTA

id have to go pee

If it was done in the first week of June and we are now at the end of the 3rd week of June, I think that the "just" isn't justified.

PS if you think Israel is a terrorist state you don't the correct definition.

That is a different phrase with a different meaning, if it weren't why wouldn't that be the bleating of Armageddonphiles?

Israel and Iran are shiatty theocracies. And I ain't dying or fighting for either one. Keep me out of your religious wars. Keep your propaganda to yourself.

Gah! US is going to have get involved in this one too I'll bet!

Or not. Actually it's just a anonymous leak for the bush admnistration. Very Cheneyesque.

Everyone posting anti-Israel comments gets a complimentary Total Fark account (that's an incentive that most Farkers don't really need).

Mr Logo:They had enough trouble in Lebanon which is 100 times smaller and next door. I don't like their chances of doing well.

They did OK, obviously not great, but there's no comparison between tanks playing tag with ATGM teams in Lebanon and a bombing campaign against Iran. The bombing trial run against Syria (with air defenses similar to Iran) went off without a hitch, the Syrians never saw them going, let alone coming.

The big problem is if Iran decides to push back hard it will do so mainly through major support for Hezbollah et al... which means more tanks playing tag with ATGM teams, which didn't go so well last time.

And since you all love word for word translations:

Az: From

Soorateh: The Face of

Donyah: The Earth

Pakeshoon: Wipe

Meekoneem: We will

/Again, the sentance structure is way different from english, but that's how it would be said. And this totally wasn't what was said.

If it happens, I'd really like the US to not be directly involved. It'd also probably be best for nothing to happen, at least not on a large scale. There is a fairly sizable population of youth, and provided we don't go around killing them, they will probably remain pro-American culture (Bay watch and blue jeans), and will become progressive on their own.

I mean putting countries on lists and doing stuff makes is so effective. Why exactly can't anyone go to Cuba anymore? Trading with China is breaking up communism, but not trading with Cuba is doing the same...

Face it. American culture and its base in materialism is a virus, and a damn contagious one. Wealth will change a people's values far more effectively than bombs.

Keep your religious wars out of my American politics. Go fight for two shiatty theocracies. Leave my country out of it.
