Well given this leak by Israel I'd say whether or not they actually do use these weapons, end game with Iran is fast approaching. Since Israel has now just played it's hands before the move, I suspect within months.

Is the Sunday Times a more reputable source than FoxNews?

Go Israel! I fully support them blowing the shit out of a country that says their aim is to wipe them off the map...I have been itching to see the Israelis do it for some time now. Muslims are scum of the earth and are about to get a big ass whooping which will put them back a few decades which has been a long time coming. Bring it on! :-d

While I agree Iran's facilities should be destroyed I do not agree with the view that muslim are scum.

I thought the point was to bring the fundamentalists into the 21st century.

Like what we've been trying to do with the fundamentalist Christians

Plans to nuke a nation (and even training in that regard) are not the same as actual preparations. America has plans to nuke all kinds of crazy nations, like Canada I'm sure. But I sleep at night.

What an odd thing to "leak". Although, if one nation claims your nation should be "wiped off the map", it does kinda give you a bit of justification for a first strike.

In international politics is seldom pays to make threats you cannot follow through on. I would guess Israel has made this threat for one of three reasons. First, pressuring the US to make the strike itself. Second, showing Iran it is serious or third, softening up world opinion before an actual strike.

I assume third.

Muslims aren't the scum of the earth, but islam is a garbage, hate-filled, silly worldview. No need for hyperbole.

Ahmedinajad has left them with no choice.

The threatening rhetoric, wether idle bluster or no, is going to be taken seriously by someone someday. i'm surprised North korea has gotten away with it for so long.

I'm actually not one to take 'sides' on the Israeli-Arab conflict. Religious people fighting over real estate. Fine. But Iran (and by this, I mean the government) is an extra kind of crazy. The Jews are very seriously at grave risk if those muslim wackos get a few nukes. I think Israel is well within any reasonable criteria of preemption and ought to behave as such.

She should strike, and strike hard, but nukes will piss the world off far too much. I'm sure a few hundred daisycutters will do the trick.

Against hardened bunkers? I am not so sure. I am beginning to get the feeling that the tactical nuke option is the only one left.

Even if they dropped oodles and oodles of them? Hmm. How about sabotage then.

It seems to me that using nukes might turn the world against Israel for good. But, I guess if the choice is holocaust #2 and Europe being mad at you, well, I know what I would choose.
