Vice President Dick Cheney voiced concern Thursday that Israel may decide to act first against Iran to eliminate the possibility of a nuclear threat.
“If, in fact, the Israelis became convinced the Iranians had significant nuclear capability, given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that their objective is the destruction of Israel, the Israelis might well decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards,” Cheney said in an interview aired on MSNBC on the day that George W. Bush was sworn into office for his second term as president.
“You look around the world at potential trouble spots, Iran is right at the top of the list,” Cheney said
I dont see why iran should be attacked..that’s just my opininon, well atleast not with a nuclear missle.
Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first
I don’t think that USA or Israel would dare attack Iran. There is already enough mess in Iraq and America could never afford another mess in the region. I think these are the pressure tactics employed by USA and Israel.
In my opinion, on the contrary, chances are that USA and Iran would be on the same page really soon. Let me tell you why I think USA, Israel and Iran will be on the same page soon. There are some news that Iran has been pursued by USA to convince Hezbollah (supported 100 percent by Iran) to give up its military resistance against Israel. Iran is known to reap benefits from any source for its national interests. Not to forget that in the 80s during its war against Iraq, Iran had deep contacts with Israel. Yes sir, these Iranians bought a lot of weapons from Israel during Iraq-Iran war. What cheap morons these mullah Aya Tullahs are…. Therefore, I am sure that Iranian mullah aya tullahs would abandon hizbollah for their national interests. And then you will see that USA and Israel would mellow down their tone against Iran…..
Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first
Actually it does and will do so. It did it in the 1980s with Iraq. It does it daily with Syria and did it for 20 years in Lebanon. Israel can do whatever it wants because there is no military strenght that is capable of fighting it in the Middle East.
Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first
Spot on. We will yap all along and they will act.
The dumb arab govts. might even be not too unhappy about a zionist strike against Iran!! How much more disunited can we get?
Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first
hahaha attack Iran, yes that will nicely settle things once and for all for the invaders in Iraq too, 60% of Iraq setting up roadside ordanance for you along with the other 40% and a million liberation bombers signed up across the border.
Shock and awe!
I wonder how this will affect the Iran-India pipeline deal?
Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first
Israel attacked Iraq in 1981 i think. They sent a squadron of plans across Jordan, Saudi and into Iraq blowing up their first and only nuclear power station being bult with the help of the french. They destroyed a nuclear plant and flew back across 3 countries without being detected.
Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first
Folks singing the praise of the glory of Zion, make it sound like Israel manages all of its belligerance all on its own, while ignoring the biggest and only source of Israeli power courtesy of US tax payers.
The dominant-suboridinate Israel-US relations are perhaps the most unique of its kind in the history, where one larger and much powerful nation, in fact the most powerful in the history is dictated by the much smaller nation to formulate its strategies and policies which continue to harm and damage the bigger nation's interests.
Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first

Re: D.Cheney voices concern that Israel may attack Iran first
dude, wait a sec…if Iran is so irresponsible, how come she never launched an attack on Israel in last 25 years…Iran got some missiles from USSR which can destroy Israel but Iranian never used them…..so please don’t make pre-mature allegations.
