Israeli general: 'Rational' Iranian leaders not pushing nuclear bomb

[zenwalk]

Bullcrap. We can judge them and they can judge us. They do it all the time. Stop cheerleading for the crazy Muslim fanatics.

I'm cheerleading the truth which means this Iranian imminent danger is manufactured bunk. Manufactured specifically by Netanyahoo, and sold via AIPAC to our Congress. It's Iraq all over again.

Hmm, who has the higher rank? Gantz or Netanyahu?

We're still trying to figure out this one. Who has the higher rank in the US Government? Obama or Netanyahu?

I don't know about Netanyahu, but Putin and Medvedev certainly outrank Obama in the US government.

Don't forget Soros and Buffett

[Wizard777]

You really don't think that Netanyahu can eliminate him if he chooses?

And maintain his PM position? No. The coalition is fragile and this would bring Netty down if he tried.

He said "eliminate." Like Netanyahu eliminated Yitzhak Rabin over the Oslo Accords.

Ahmadinejad is as insane as they get. It's ignorant to suggest he is rational.

I suspect by rational he means they aren't self-destructive.

There's still a very good chance that Iran will give up their nuclear ambitions peacefully

It benefits Iran to maintain a certain level of threat because that's an obvious driver of the price of oil. The rest of the world understands that. We and (surprise) Israel are really the only two nations with our panties in a bunch over this.

Still sprouting the same old misinformation, zenwalk?

1) The sanctions aren't helping Iran economically. 2) US and Israel are not the only two nations that are "upset".

Upset enough to propagandize the issue? Nope, just the US and Israel.

The sanctions aren't only from the US.

Another grasp of the obvious.

Exactly. Love a foreign policy that builds a coalition.

Exactly!! And it is pathetic. What drives our fear (in government) of Iran is completely irrational, based on a bunch of rhetoric. The nuttiness of Ahmadinejad is simply a counterbalance to the nuttiness of Nuttyyahoo, (as he was to bush as well) If there were a less hawkish / insane PM in Israel, there would be a less hawkish / insane President in Iran.

This is the situation in a nutshell:

Of course. Root instead for the crazy Israeli fanatics.
