Is a preemptive strike on Iran called for ? ...

[dogtag]

If they're this blatant about their terror activities
now, what will they do when they finally get their
Bomb. Thanks to our loony bin loser in the White
House, they're getting there fast, and it probably
won't be long before they become a Real threat.
What then ?? What would Sun Tzu do ?
If we were to strike it would serve two purposes:
emasculate Iran and scare the sh!t out of Kim.

What makes it worse is if Iran gets involved China, Pakistan, possibly others will ally with them.

I think Israel will go after any Iran sources making 'the bomb'. It wouldn't take many A-bombs to obliterate Israel!

A preemptive strike - no, a retaliatory strike yes. The Iranians are absolutely ultimately as responsible for the deaths of about a 1,000 people almost all civilians, many women and children, some Americans among them, as the Hamas thugs who pulled the triggers. They funded them, they trained them and now there seems to be solid info that the plan was theirs. Nobody here has the "nads" to do that though. I hear Hamas wants a truce - that's what Japan wanted the day after Pearl Harbor.

Lindsay "Gramensty" said today that for every hostage harmed an Iranian oil facility should be destroyed. It sounds like a plan to me. We have been "meek and gentle" with these "butchers" for way too long. They are what they are and neither negotiations or bribery, our plan so far, is going to work.

My understanding is the vast majority of Iranians loathe the regime. Video a while back showed a street with US and Israeli flags painted on it. Pedestrians took care not to walk over them, maybe not so much out of love for US as 'screw you' to the mullahs. I've read Shia are not the majority in Iran; there is no majority religious or cultural group. Basically, they all hate each other; the mullahs are at the top of the list.
Graham's idea has a lot of merit. Especially if they hit us again.

Mean while, Joe calls a 'lid' at 1pm eastern. He ain't got time to mess with a war he doesn't profit from!
