Poll question: If Iran nuked Israel, who would obliterate Iran?
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 07:46 PM by onehandle
There's only one honest answer here.

And yes, I know that Iran says that they suspended their nuke program.

And no, I am not committed to either Hillary or Obama.

On edit: Although it's true that Israel has their own nukes, they would coordinate an attack with us, so it's the same as us attacking.

32. Israel has over 100 bombs and the means to deliver them
The whole story is just bullshit on Iran.

8. Your premise is faulty, Check Iran's history. Why would you allow Israel to have Nukes, and make a

fuss about Iran.
Don't get me wrong you should strip the nukes from all countries in this area.

25. Here comes one of the most successful propagandas ever.
I don't recall Iran invading, killing, tanking, shelling, dropping bombs, on the Palestinians or anyone else (Except defending themselves in the Iraq/Iran war). Does Israel invading Syria/Lebanon/Palestine/Egypt ring a bell.

And look who is talking, the ones who actually killed 1 million Iraqis illegally, and for no fucking reason whatsoever, except global hegemony, and oil control.

You should be stripped out of your nukes, you’re becoming a third world country with WMDs.

12. Assuming Israel didn't, we would....
... A poorly-chosen question, if you're looking to differentiate Clinton and Obama. There's just not much choice on that issue AS STATED.

Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 07:51 PM by Skinner
If Iran nuked Israel, all three of the candidates -- Clinton, Obama, or McCain -- if they were president, would hit back very, very hard. Probably nuclear.

But Iran isn't going to nuke Israel, so the question is kind of moot.

(Edit: grammar)

19. Bingo!
And if Iran Nuked Israel the world would be fucked anyway because there is no way to contain a nuclear exchange.

26. Yeah, I saw WarGames too.
They tricked their way out.

In real life Matthew Broderick would be incinerated on Broadway with the rest of us.

22. Again, I did say if.
My point is that all three would go military in such a situation.

I don't want anyone to fool themselves into thinking that just because Bush will be gone that we will stop military operations.

16. Any president that halfway understands the law understands that it is the law that we respond.
For decades now the nation has been under our protection. If a nation attacks them and they need help we must respond. They are also required to aid us if we desperately need help.

Same with Taiwan.

27. Which combination of the above...
Would continue to borrow money from China to give to Israel so they could buy more nukes? All of the above is my guess...
