White House Reporter after briefing speculates: Israel will bomb Iran

[helderheid]

At the end of the White House Press Conference, a reporter (a woman, not sure who) speculated that Israel will bomb Iran.

1. Well wouldn't that be convenient?

:sarcasm:

Israel already took out Iraq's nuclear power plant with air strikes.

Or was it in the departing hubbub one hears when the briefing breaks up?

7. It was the departing hubbub. n/t

[blm]

4. I always expected BushInc to use Israel to start the war.

No doubt, Bush has his Bebe boyz planted in Israel's intel community and military.

10. Isn't that what Scott Ritter said a few months ago?

Sorry, I don't have the link.

But, IIRC, another of his predictions could come true as I believe he said that one option would be that Israel would attack Iran and A) Iran would retaliate...thus causing the US to come to Israel's defense or B) Iran would not fall for it and the US would be forced to still come to the aid of a threatened Israel, as Iran might still fight back.

I'll try to find a link.

13. The Iran will close the Persian Gulf,

The US will join in, accusing Iran of every kind of evil.
China and Russia will side with Iran.
China will pressure the US based on our Debt Load.

Either it becomes WW3 with most of the world against the US, and/or the US becomes so hated that countries stop doing business with us.

Either way, the US will be decimated.

14. I used to think so but I doubt that the Israelis are that stupid.

Perhaps I'm indulging in wishful thinking, however.

[myrna minx]

17. I could see it if it was the old hardliners,

but what of the new government? Can anyone who has a better understand fill me in? I thought that the new government was more moderate? :shrug: Or doesn't it matter anymore? I'm not being sarcastic, I truly want to know. Thanks!

[helderheid]

21. I wish I knew.... maybe I don't. Oh God, I just can't believe what's

happening to our world. :(

18. Israel might do the bombing, but we would have to tanker their jets.

I recall reading that Israel has no fighter-bombers with the range necessary to penetrate deep into Iran. I also recall that Israel does not have the airborne tanker capability to support such a strike. I could me mistaken, but it sounds to me like the US would be involved (one way, or another).

19. They can go ahead

but I think their level of support here in this country is going to dwindle to next to nothing when everyone is waiting in line to get some gas. Once their at the pumps(god forbid if they should run out) they have to pay ten dollars a gallon on top of waiting in line for hours.

20. Sounds about right. n/t
