Israel versus Iran

No on the Nukes. Yes on the scorched earth policy. We did it in WWII and did it to ourselves in the Civil War (Sherman conducted the first scorched earth Campaign) and we can do it again.

bla what ever happened to "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?

That went out with the older notion of honor and when the U.S. helped create the Taliban supporting them against the Russians in Afganistan. The mujas don't care who they kill as long as it isn't a muslim who beleiven in strict construction of the Koran.

This is the current headline story on drudgereport.com titled "Israel could attack this spring"

They are citing the Washington Post's article today by David Ignatius

I really don't want to see another global conflict. Iran doesn't stand the slightest chance against Israel. If it happens, I hope Israel knocks them out early for the sake of USA. If WW3 (hypothetically) were ever to come true, Iran v. Israel sure does sound like a headliner.

To be serious about nuclear weapons, should they be used in the Middle East, that would be the end of OPEC. No more oil. It's all radioactive with a 50+ year half life. Now the world turns to alternate sources of oil, i.e. the greatest nation in the world, the United States. Cynical as it may be, war amongst the nations in the Middle East, so long as the rest of the world stays out of it could be our ticket to ending our insane national deficit and get us out of China's debt.

The reason that Obama & the other pols here want war with Iran has nothing to do with them running their mouths or having nukes.
Iran has made a deal to sell oil to India -- for gold! Not US dollars but gold. Other countries are starting to trade in gold now too. If the dollar isn't the currency that everyone uses then we are toast. Cause we don't have anything else.
So, yes there will be war with Iran to stop them from doing this & it starting a landslide of other countries doing it too.
You saw what happened to Saddam Hussein & Ghaddafi of Libya when they tried it.
