    And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. Mark 13:7

    This could be disasterous for the economy worldwide.. Why not just gt out of the occupied territories and solve the problem?

    JERUSALEM, Israel -- Several senior Israeli political and military leaders have spoken out publicly in recent days about the need for a credible military threat against Iran.

    In the U.S., the Washington Post reported that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta believes Israel will strike Iran in April, May, or June.

    President Obama said he believes Israel hasn't made such a decision.

    Other international leaders, such as U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, want a diplomatic solution.

    "These -- all pending issues -- should be resolved [a] peaceful way through dialogue," Ban said recently. "There is no alternative to a peaceful resolution of this issue."

    "We have basically advised strapping on the six-shooter not pulling the trigger yet," Ban said.

    The advice of former CIA Director James Woolsey is -- get ready to use force. How? By moving aircraft carrier groups and planes into position to take on Iran's nuclear program and its Revolutionary Guard.

    Woolsey said financial sanctions against Iran could still bite, but the West needs to speed things up.

    "They should stop piddling around with this. They ought to get it done and get it done fast because that will help to bring the financial system of Iran down, which is one thing that could help in getting them out of their nuclear weapons program," Woolsey said.

    But former Israeli Ambassador Yoram Ettinger said there's only one option.

    "Anybody who wants to stop Iran from becoming nuclear should realize that the only viable option is a military preemption, which is much preferable to risking a nuclear Iran," Ettinger told CBN News.

    This doesn't make me very happy.

    Also, I hear tell that the US Navy can/will be able to destroy Iran's navy in a nannosecond.

    Shoukln't Iran back down and go home and get the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of the Straights of Hormuz?

    Aren't they playing with fire?

    WTF????

    Because to you, moon, other moonbats, Hamas, Iran and islamonazis of all stripes Tel Aviv, Haifa and the rest of Israel are 'occupied territories', because before 1967 there was no occupation and the problem was not solved, because Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon made things significantly worse rather than solving problems, because Israel's withdrawal from Gaza made things significantly worse, rather than solving problems... But why am I telling you all that, you already know that as well as anyone else.

    Hagee is a powerful proponent of a joint US-Israeli nuclear attack on Iran as a prelude to “Rapture.” He believes the Christians will all be Raptured just before the start of the war...

    I find that repulsive..

    I also find war based on paranoia repulsive.. This could be resolved if Israel got out of the Occupied territories..

    Another lie from Madam Saudi Arabia. He is a proponent of a joint military attack, not a nuclear attack on Iran. You learned your taqiyah well.

    Israel can and does take care of itself. You're confusing Israel with Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Sheesh.

    At a 2007 conference in Washington, Hagee said:

    "It is time for America to consider a military preemptive strike against Iran to prevent a nuclear holocaust in Israel and to prevent a nuclear attack in America."

    For his part, Hagee preaches an end-time theology in which a nuclear blast in the Middle East will advance Armageddon... and just before that happens, the Christians will be Raptured.

    Yes, and it is also forever Christian, Muslim and Arab. One can't change the past, but one can acknowledge it into the future.

    We were proxies for the Israelis in Iraq. We'll be proxies for the Israelis in Iran. As with Gulf Wars I and II, the U.S. will want Israel to stay out of it and Israel will pretend that it has acquiesced as long as America gets on with the grunt work.

    It's a game we play.
