Isreal prepares to use nuclear weapons

[Yeager]

Should be an interesting strike to watch unfold.  Although the risk here is huge, I think the world could really benefit from another nuclear blast just to keep the edge sharp.  Dont want to get so lazy or forgetful, only to be shocked by a mushroom cloud over London or New York.   No, far better for the next atomic attack to happen......over there

Sounds like one of those trial balloons to test and/or prepare world opinion.

This is not good.

It's not the same world it was 60 some odd years ago.

That genie needs to be left in the bottle. The alternative is too horrific.

Grab a brain cell, they are free.

What do you mean?  The UN accomplished nothing with diplomacy?



OUTRAGEOUS!

[storch]

how could this be good?  wouldn't it be far better to anihilate them with conventional methods?  the clean up is far easier.

It could give the Israelis, Americans and Iraqi's some target practice as the Iranian masses comes storming across Iraq.

It better not be in New york.

I still subscribe to the same policy that I have mentioned on this bbs before.  Any country that threatens to use nuclear weapons should be informed by the other nuclear powers that if they do use one, that their country will be destroyed...period.

If they carry out a nuclear attack.  The threat should be carried out.

I don't see the fuss. Everyone is willing to wait until Iran (just like NK) has the resources to go nuclear. What is 1/15th of the tonnage dropped on Hiroshima? Certainly not much more than the 20,000 lb bunker busters dropped on German fortifications during W -dubya-2.

And with the leader of Iran wanting to 'wipe Israel from the map', who really wants to stop them? It's a tough call, but these kids have been playing in that sandbox for how long now?

This kind of threat is one of many reasons why I don't live in NYC though

I wish I could give you the benefit of doubt, but that is just retarded. The Hiroshima bomb had a yield of about 15 kilotons, or 30,000,000 lbs. 1/15th of that is 2 million pounds.

lol, that is one of the most stupid articles I have read.

The plans, disclosed to The Sunday Times last week,

Yeh right, someone of a small group of people who would know of such an operation had called the Sunday Times reporter and told him of the planned attack and the exact method of execution. Or was it that the reporter was invited to the attack planning session?

Very proffesional.

Sheer stupidity....the use of any type of nuclear device as a "tactical" tool gives any two bit country tacit justification to grab their own nuclear weapons
