OT: Israel will bomb Iran within 12 months

Yeah? Remember this blast from the past? They attacked what was then, an ally.

1981 was a different time.

Iran now has modern weapons.

If US intelligence truly believes that Israel will attack Iran in the next 12 months (still a long time hence), Americans can take action to prevent it (by cutting off aid and the like).

So, any attack on Iran by Israel will have tacit consent from Washington. To believe that Israel can act independently from Washington is naive, especially with such advance warning.[/quote]

They didn’t have modern weapons in 81′?!? Research before you speak. Google aint that hard. So these non-modern weapons of 81′ would include American F4 Phantoms, F-5 Tigers, and F-14 Tom Cats. While slighty behind the US and Israel in technology these platforms were enough of threat that the IAF put a whole squardon worth of aircraft in the air to strike the reactor (this is a very large package for a strike). Eight Eagles flying BAR CAP and 8 Falcon strike packages mean that the IAF was not taking chances.

Remember the Iranians had plenty of experience as well in a fight. The had good equipment… they had too.. Iraq had been a threat for a long time and now they were fighting a war.

I would say it is easier to attack them now than it was in 81′. The techology gap is far great now.

Plus if you read the article you know that it is more likely for them to strike the reactor before the fuel is in place thus reducing chances of a meltdown or other catestrophic event.

Israel will do what it wants to. In Lebanon, Jordan, Egpyt, or anywhere else it please despite condemnation of the UN or the US.

Look at the case history.

OK, Israel does what it wants to do — with weapons we provide to them for free.

They pay for them… But they get a big discount! 😛

Actually more and more they build thier own weapons because they know their forgein policies could get them kicked off of the equipment tit.

and P.S.S.

I am neither Jewish or Arab… Just a white guy who reads a lot of Economist and Janes… So no personal feelings for one or the other…

You know I just remembered something. I play soccer with a persian guy… We were talking about this last year when the topic was hot then… And he told me his mother, literally, prays to God every day that the US will bomb Iran. That was shocking.

CE agian…

You make a good point.

ALL of US aid to Israel amounts to probably $5 billion per year. Their military budget is about $13 billion. $5 billion more than covers equipment purchases.

But technically, you’re right, the Israelis use portion of US aid to buy weapons from us; and they produce and sell their own weapons too.

Yes, Israel is an independent country and theoretically does what it wants. But if we don’t like something, and we don’t stop it, it’s because we don’t want to stop it or we don’t try hard enough.

There are different types of Persians. If the Persian guy you know is a product of the old regime of the Shah, of course, he would want to overthrow the Islamic revolution.

Some Chinese still want to attack China and some Vietnamese want to restart the Vietnam war. I’m sure that some Russians want to bring back the Tsar.

Remember Ahmed Chalabi of Iraq? He got us into Iraq, and what did we get? A catastrophe that cost $1 trillion, about 5,000 dead and 35,000 wounded American soldiers, and a big win for Iran.

Iran’s geopolitical position has been greatly enhanced by the chaos in Iraq. So I do understand Israel’s worries. But that’s their problem, not ours.
