I remember the so-called moderate candidate running against Ahmadinejad saying as for the Israel question we only need one bomb anyway to deal with that. And that was from the so-called moderate candidate we were hoping would win.

A blank check from the US government does not hurt either.
It’s the Islamic world. Your choices are either simple ■■■■■■■■■ like that dude. Or super ■■■■■■■■ like that psychopath that founded ISIS.
Iran is weirdly wealthy. But they blow all their money on keeping the regime alive and in power. And the corruption is appalling.

Israel has long had a policy of assassination against leaders who are viewed as a threat to Israeli security. What makes us think that this policy has only been limited to leaders in Iran, Hezbollah, Hammas, etc.?
President Kennedy and Israeli PM Ben Gurion go into bitter disputes over the Israeli nuclear program that was conducting tests at Dimona at the same time Kennedy was attempting to get agreement on a nuclear test ban treaty. The dispute is documented in a series of letters from 1963 that have since been declassified.
Here is what one historian says about the dispute:
Forget Lyndon Johnson, forget the CIA, forget Fidel Castro, the Mossad killed Kennedy because they were so upset over what he did Ben Gurion . . .–historian Martin Sandler

Here is the archives with the letters:
So it looks like three senior military commanders ate some explosives during the strike. Nice.

Turns out everyone ragging on the F-35 are pretty brain dead. Iranians never even knew they were there.

You know a side is losing when it intentionally targets civilian population centers rather than military targets. Iran is currently targeting Tel Aviv with missiles. A big mistake in my opinion.

Yes, hitting civilian targets pretty much summarizes most Israeli military operations in recent years.
On the other hand, the Israeli Ministry of Defense Headquarters is a legitimate military target by any measure.

To hear you tell it, Israel is on the verge of collapse.
You are simply a waste of my time, so I won’t bother with any kind of response.

Netanyahu has reportedly fled to Greece.
Why would he do that if there is nothing to fear from Iran?

Iraq was never a threat to the US. The narratives about WMDs and connections to Al Qaeda were fabrications.
“wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq . . .” --President Bush
prepare for the “it was their money!!” bleat
We don’t know that he has.
But if Washington DC were being attacked, do you believe the sitting President would remain in the WH or do you believe he would be flying somewhere on Air Force One? Wouldn’t it make sense for the Israeli prime minister to do the same?
They don’t have the confidence in their own equipment to actually hit pin point military targets. Getting a cruise missile or a ballistic missile, even with a terrible accuracy rating, to hit a city sized target is easy. Hitting something like an actual military building is difficult.
how about iran’s?
