    Washington – Israel might choose to attack Iran to prevent it from developing a nuclear bomb, the top U.S. commander in the Middle East said today.

    Army General David Petraeus told Congress that “the Israeli government may ultimately see itself so threatened by the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon that it would take preemptive military action to derail or delay it.”

    While Iran insists its nuclear program is intended for peaceful power generation, Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command, said “Iranian officials have consistently failed to provide the assurances and transparency necessary for international acceptance and verification.”

    Iran refuses to suspend uranium enrichment, in defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions, and won’t give international inspectors full access to its nuclear facilities.

    Iran’s “obstinacy and obfuscation have forced Iran’s neighbors and the international community to conclude the worst about the regime’s intention,” Petraeus said in a statement submitted to the Senate Armed Services Committee for a hearing today.

    Ali Akbar Javanfekr, media adviser to Iran’s President Mahmound Ahmadinejad, responded to the general’s comments.

    “Iran’s position as a powerful country that is a proponent of logic and peace, the Zionist regime’s chaotic situation, and the state of the world’s economy are realities that do not make this possible,” Javanfekr said in a telephone interview.

    Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor declined to comment on Petraeus’s remarks.

    iran getting a nuke in my opinion is a greater threat than the current financial crisis and a bigger threat than any other country or terrorist group. I really hope Obama is attentive to how serious it would be if chas veshalom Iran gets past the point of no return.

    Let’s review a little history.

    Jimmy, the peanut farmer, who masqueraded as a U.S. president shackled the hands of the Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, by not letting him suppress Khomeini maniac. Subsequently, American hostages were humiliated and held for 441 days.

    The Shah of Iran was a friend of Israel, whereas Khomeini (May his bones rot in hell) was a sworn enemy of Israel. Ahmadinejad, was one of the students who participated in capturing the American hostages.
    Israel should destroy the Iranian nuclear capabilities, especially when Ahmadinejad vowed to destroy Israel!

    Israel has shown it has the guts to do whats necessary. Iran with an N Bomb is a threat to Israel. They would give it to Hezbollah or Hamas and claim innocence. EY will not send planes, too iffy. They will hit the nuke centers with cruise missles and maybe even small nukes.

    We should all daven for their hatzlacha. It would be a great kiddush hashem that a Jewish airforce saves the world. It would put a literal spin on Yad Elokim.

    I may be wrong, but I think that might actually cause World War III.

    I guess we are getting close to the end of days. Many biblical propheses have come true in recent years. We have also completed 70 years since Kristallnacht .

    Uranium enrichment is a process of obstinacy and obfuscation and would require mass degrebastion in the populated cities of iran, therefore making it illogical for israel to go this route!
