You should realize (as Russia certainly does) that Israel&#039;s (alleged) nukes can reach parts of Russia. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Afghanistan would have been worth if it had worked. But it didn&#039;t, and that was clear by 2003. After 10 more years of death and destruction, Aghanistan is not a stable democracy and the Taliban have not been defeated. As you say, &#039;they are still at it.&#039; War is not an efficient method of changing an educational system. 
 
Saddam did not refuse to comply with 1441: he make the declaration he was asked to do, and after some initial problems the inspectors were able to make good progress with their work. It was 1441 that said there should be inspections, and it was the US and its allies that broke 1441 when they decided to invade before the inspections were completed. Why? Because the inspectors started to disprove the US intelligence, and it looked as if the US would lose its excuse for war if they allowed the inspections to continue any longer. 
 
After the war the Iraq Survey Group made a thorough study and found no evidence of recent WMD developments. Their report carries much more weight than the word of a single journalist and some photos of some trucks, content unknown.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Necessity&quot; is very subjective these days.  Personally I think Afghanistan was worth it simply for the fact that they were throwing acid in girls&#039; faces,  keeping  them from going to school, destroying schools for girls, and they&#039;re still at it (re: the shooting of a 14 year old girl they see as a &quot;traitor&quot;.) 
 
Iraq is another subjectivity, but if you were paying attention back then you&#039;ll recall that Saddam refused to comply with UN resolution 1441, and then subsequently, just prior to the invasion, he had all the goods trucked out to Syria (corroborated by a Syrian Journalist and sattelite photos of the trucks in question crossing the border).  I find it ironic that when they did get Saddam, he justified his actions, claiming that he HAD to be brutal just to keep order.  These were the lengths he had to go to in order to have some semblance of civilzation, or so he claimed.  If he was in fact telling the truth, it paints a picture of a very different mindset in that part of the world that we are not accustomed to dealing with.  Which probably explains why the desired aftereffects have not been easily obtained and even now seem elusive.  But at least Saddam won&#039;t be marching on Saudi Arabia or Kuwait anymore. 
 
Personally I think Canada knows full well Israel WILL act on its own, why else would they have pulled all their diplomats out and kicked all of Iran&#039;s out of Canada? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran:  
 
&#8220;The Iranian nation has never pursued and will never pursue nuclear weapons. There is no doubt that the decision makers in the countries opposing us know well that Iran is not after nuclear weapons because the Islamic Republic, logically, religiously and theoretically, considers the possession of nuclear weapons a grave sin and believes the proliferation of such weapons is senseless, destructive and dangerous.&#8221; 
 
US National Intelligence Estimate on Iran, 2007: 
 
&#8220;We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons 
program... We judge with high confidence that the halt lasted at least several years... We assess with moderate confidence Tehran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program as of mid-2007...&#8221; 
 
Every IAEA report on Iran:  
 
&#8220;The Agency has been able to continue to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran.&#8221; 
 
At the moment, there is no nuclear weapons program in Iran. They could not start one without leaving the NPT. Then everyone would know about it. There Is No Need to Panic. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Never have I seen such ignorance as that displayed on this thread . First of all an Invasion of Afghanistan was not necessarry , because while the Taliban and Bin Laden AND Zarwahiri and the one eyed Sheik were all in one place having their &quot;mock hearing on whether Bin Laden was guilty of 9/11 one squadron of jet bombers could hve taken the entire Taliban leadership out in ONE STRIKE . The subseqwuent invasion of Iraq was equally ILL-ADVISED . 
     A far as Israel acting Unilateraly , What just happened in Sudan ?  What happened to the Osiris Reactor in Iraq ?   Or the attempt to build one in Syria ?  That&#039;s right ! When threats become existential Israel will act alone to eliminate the threat .Iran&#039;s economy is on the verge of collapse , the sanctions are working ,otherwise WHY would Iran suggest one on one talks with the US , regardless of who wins the election ?

Qute true and not an imagination.Proof POSITIVE (even if some may scoff at my suggestion)

Anyone who doubts this hasn&#039;t looked for the evidence, or skims the headlines for bias confirmation.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;As far as I can detect from Ms Glicks assumptions ISRAEL is Between a rock &amp; a hard place to decide taking on Iran by herself.  
Additionally methinks Ms Glick seems not to trust either :  
i.e No Romney versus Obama  
So,she sounds very pessimistic toward Romney.&quot; 
 
When you consider her readership, you realize she is preparing them for the potential need to make difficult decisions about attacking unilaterally. I don&#039;t disagree with your sentiments about the USA, but she is not wrong either. It&#039;s not her job to perform cheer-leading for Romney at this point, especially to Israelis.  She&#039;s expressing her concerns for a worst-case scenario, or cautioning Israelis not to lose their determination to deal with Iran as a result of Romney seeming to come to the rescue. He might not be able to pull it off if the circumstances go sideways at all. She&#039;s right to be concerned for Israel. 
 
Americans have less to worry about from Iran, that&#039;s the bottom line. 
 
I personally feel that no more nukes should not be tolerated at all, and we should have already bombed Iran. If I were elected, I&#039;d order the bombing in inauguration day. That&#039;s why I&#039;m not electable. Romney is. Let&#039;s see where that gets us. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Operation: &quot;Push the Red Button&quot; would take about one half hour to eliminate Iran&#039;s WMD&#039;s.&quot; 
 
In short, you are correct. The Israelis can&#039;t count on that and she is preparing her readership for unilateral action, which may be their only option. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;For 8 years, I have been talking about the threat Iran poses to AMERICA. AIPAC and Israel&#039;s &quot;friends&quot; in America continue to aid Iran by framing the issue only in terms of Israel.  
America will not go to war for Israel.&quot; 
 
That&#039;s a rather stupid statement. The point is that Israel and the USA are allies. &quot;Framing only in terms of Israel&quot; means you have filters in your brain. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;President Obama doesn&#039;t really seem to care a whole lot about Israel.&quot; 
 
I&#039;m sure that&#039;s sarcastic understatement that really translates in to, &quot;President Obama seems determined to fulfill promises made to certain Islamic imperialists like Rashid Khalidi and others.&quot; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;For instance, if a hypothetical Romney administration wished to supply Israel with certain weapons systems that would make an Israeli strike against Iran&#8217;s nuclear installations more successful, it could take months for such deals to be concluded, approved by Congress, and then executed.&quot; 
 
That&#039;s what executive orders are for. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, jihadist attacks on the US, then-president George W. Bush faced no internal opposition to overthrowing the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. The US military and intelligence arms all supported the operation. Congress supported the operation. The American public supported the operation. The UN supported the mission. 
 
&quot;And still, it took the US four weeks to plan and launch Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. That is, under optimal conditions, the US needed nearly a month to respond to the largest foreign attack on the US mainland since the War of 1812.&quot; 
 
Not to diminish her point, but if nukes were threatening us from Afghanistan, it could have been dealt with that hour, not 4 weeks later.  ]]></description>
