A genuine existential threat to Obama's reelection
as analyzed in depth by Sully. This is freaking terrifying, and I could see it happening.
<snip>
I don't think you can understand the Republican strategy for this election without factoring in a key GOP player, Benjamin Netanyahu. He already has core members of the US Congress siding openly with him against the US president and the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman - like McCain, Lieberman and Butters. Netanyahu's war would be designed to rile up not only his own neo-fascist base, but also encourage American evangelical voters to turn out against Obama, the "anti-Christ", while other Greater Israel fanatics, like Sheldon Adelson, keep bankrolling as many Greater Israel GOP nominees as they can. A global war which polarizes America and the world is exactly what Netanyahu wants. And it is exactly what the GOP needs to cut through Obama's foreign policy advantage in this election. Because it is only through war, crisis and polarization that extremists can mobilize the emotions that keep them in power. They need war to win.

Nevermind the existential threat to 8 million Jews...or 20 million innocent Iranians if the Jews have to retaliate.

4. There will be no war
Israel would not be able to accomplish their mission , it would fail
And they won't take that chance

13. This is what just makes no sense to me - an attack wouldn't even really accomplish anything but it
destroys the economy and unleashes a massive war. Why would anyone sane want to do this? I don't get it. There is no way a temporary delay is worth the consequences that would result.

10. America's "special friend" wants nothing more than to see a GOP ruled house, senate, presidency.
Netanyahu is a scoundrel who is willing to abuse the relationship between Israel and America in order to remake a world favorable to his despicable government. A government which is fueled by fear. If he can destroy the Obama Presidency to benefit his own ends, he will. And his plans are already in motion.
I believe the majority of informed American Jews are overwhelmingly against such behavior but there, too, Netanyahu has them in a vice: "Support Israel or support it's destruction." The "with us or with the terrorists" of the Bush years, multiplied.
I do not believe that even Netanyahu necessarily believes in his own actions but believes those actions will keep him in power. He is the worst kind of politician and with very few exceptions, like Tzipi Livni, his government is equally loathsome and unrecognizable as representing the religion and society which he now willingly steers into disrepute.

Israel will do what it has to. If that means getting Imadinnerjackets hairmussed with a few nukes then that is what will happen. You DUmpmonkies have the leisure of sitting at your keyboards and talking smack about how this will ruin Nobama's chances in Nov. The Israelis don't have that luxury of waiting for him to pop a nuke first. They went through one Holocaust and they sure as shit are not going to let another happen no matter who their friends are.

The parallels between today's demokrat party and the NAZIs are scary.

DUmpmonkeys seem to forget that this entire Iranian business, including a possible war with the risk of nuclear weapons, can be laid squarely at the feet of the worst President in American history, Jimmy Carter.
His anti-Semitism, and his cowardly abandonment of the Shah, the strongest U.S. ally in the mideast, is the reason this crisis exists.
I still believe the jug-eared muslim has a way to go before he's as disastrously bad as Jimmy Carter.

DUmmies would love a "Final Solution" to the Israel problem, just as they would for their political opponents here at home, the little brownshirts-in-waiting.
Their hatred for Christians, Jews and conservatives in general is so white hot they align themselves with a culture (Middle-Eastern Muslims) by whose hand they would be the first ones executed or imprisoned in a Sharia state. How sick is that?

I must admit, that idea has crossed my mind more than once.

Vhy are ze Jews alvays schtartink ze troubles?
Because Iahmadingynutjob and his band of brain-dead muzzies won't leave them alone!
In the Old Testament, God commanded the Jews to eradicate the inhabitants of whatever land He sent them to, after they concurred it. Now we know why.
I think it's time for the Jews to revert back to that policy. There can be no peace, for Jews or Christians, until muzzies are either totally and utterly defeated, or eliminated completely. Their choice.
And if it weren't for oil, it would have happened already.

Another fact that Liberalism is a mental disease is that American Jews are supporting the Liberal politicians that willingly assist those that want to destroy Israel. Having a rational and logical mind I just can't fathom these Jews.

Exactly, their domestic policy is precisely the kind of Euro-Socialism these idiots claim to admire.

They'ed just claim it's the Muslim's in the knesset that forces the jews to be liberal.
Oh wait first they'd have to know the Knesset is the Israeli governing body and then that them jews play well with muslims not trying to blow them up.
