*mods, I think this fits in breaking news for self-evident reasons, but if you see fit to move it, well, that's your call.

1. Must be the Syrian/Russian defense systems worked better than first

speculated.

It appears the israelis unable to complete their mission and had to retreat.

2. I don't know. This story indicates

that the Israelis left a huge whole in the desert, and that ground forces were there to mark targets. I'm confused about everything but my conviction that this is lunacy on the part of the Israelis.

4. The neocon crazies and the damn Israelis's are doing

everything they can to start WWIII.

5. Yes, how absurd of the Israelis...

...to want to destroy weapons systems that are targeted at their population! Ridiculous!

[acmavm]

6. Where or who do the Israeli have their NUKES pointed at?

[Megahurtz]

8. How Do You Know

those weapons systems were "targeted at their population"? :eyes:

Every Country has a right to possess weapons as a right to defend themselves from attack.
Who attacked in this instance? :think:

[kysrsoze]

9. So by that right, any country can destroy all weapons systems aimed at their country

Who should we attack first - Russia or China? Who should they attack first - us or Israel?

15. About as absurd as us attacking Sovereign Nations who are a direct threat

to us, like Iraq, Iran.....

Oh, Wait....

Your post is absurd. There is no proof of any of this.

But then again, it's all a big video game to people like you anyway.

Kill all the Towel heads so I can feel powerful and good.

7. Were the weapons in any way illegal?

Not from what I've read, Israel has perpetrated an unprovoked act of aggression, and should be sanctioned but of coursr it won't be. However there is no claiming self-dense this time but of course they'll try.

10. Pre-emptive war chickens are coming home to roost

Bush set the precedent.

[0rganism]

11. what evidence is given that they were, in fact, Iranian weapons?

I see nothing concrete to indicate the "sources" were correct in alleging the weapons to have come by way of Iran.

Somehow, I suspect this to be part of a larger effort on behalf of the pro-war-with-Iran movement. In return, the USA will provide UNSC cover for Israel in any "preemptive" strikes against Syria or Lebanon.

12. I smell Propaganda.

[HuffleClaw]

13. next we'll hear that Iran is to blame for global warming !

this propaganda is so silly.

14. and speaking of propaganda

this morning a D.C. judge awarded 12 million bucks to the family of an American girl who was killed in a Hamas attack in Israel. The defendant? Iran, of course.

16. Sure they did ...

just like 6 nuclear armed cruise missiles accidentally flew from ND to LA.

More lipstick, please, these pigs still can't fly.
