Israeli minister alternatives to attack on Iran running out

[Franzl]

Although I'd like to avoid war with Iran, if Israel goes to war, then the US must be ready to defend our greatest ally.

Disgusting.

Formerly the biggest Democratic hack is now a Republican.

Glad to see you have found your place, just like Joe Lieberman.

Well, I do seem to be trending to the right recently.

Is there ANYTHING besides your view on Israel that makes you even remotely close to a Republican?

Overall, my foreign policy is closer to the GOP than the Democrats.  As it's been pointed out, I am a bit of a prude, and I have some social views that fit better with the GOP.

concerning foreign policy: like the Iraq war, perhaps? Or complete lack of diplomacy?

concerning social views: pro-life? anti gay marriage?

I'm not trying to insult you, but isn't it kind of...ummm...embarrasing to claim to be a Republican when you have a PM score of -4/0?

And yes, if Iran attacked Israel, it would be nuts to suggest the US not back Israel.

I think Ben was advocating going to war even if Israel is the one to launch a preemptive attack, not sure though. That's what I'd call crazy.

My thinking was that if Israel went to war with Iran, we would help them.

In other words, you would also support Israel in a preemptive attack on Iran. Is that correct?

While we're at it, since Israel enjoys our "full support", could we launch an attack on Syria, too? After all, nothing is too good for our "best friends".

Of course the US should intervene if Iran attacked Israel.  If that happened, we should send enough troops to Iran to whip it in a day.

The Empire does not have enough troops to make this happen.  Remember how the US was defeated by the Vietnamese, Ben.  America may be ruthless, brutal, and well supplied with weaponry, but brave resistance fighters can still have some success against it.

America is neither ruthless or brutal.

America can be, and is sometimes. Don't be naive.

Of course, Opebo is always happy if someone fights against America. But we're used to that.
