Letting Iran get nukes would be fucking crazy. They would end up being the next North Korea.
Better to take them down now, why we still have the chance.
Can't tell if sarcasm/trolling.

Memos Reveal Israeli Spies Posing As CIA Agents
President Obama touted the U.S. commitment to Israel’s security in his State of the Union speech, saying, “Our iron clad commitment, and I mean ironclad to Israel’s security has meant the closest military cooperation between our two countries in history.”
But an article in Foreign Policy raises some questions about that relationship when it comes to intelligence gathering and Iran.
The article says officers from Israel’s spy agency, Mossad, posed as American CIA agents to recruit members of the terrorist group Jundallah to fight in Israel’s covert war against Iran.
In the intelligence business this is called a false flag operation.
It happened during the last years of the George W. Bush Administration and it apparently affected cooperation between the U.S. and Israel when President Barack Obama assumed office.
According to intelligence officers who have seen CIA memos about the operation, President Bush went ballistic when he found out.
But author and historian Mark Perry says that the rift caused between the U.S. and Israel has largely been healed now that Barack Obama is president.
Iran does look pretty probable at times, but I think a lot of it is similar to the exchanges b/w the Korea's.
I think Israel starting something with our backing is more likely...but not necessarily with Iran.
Either way, we really can't afford another war.
I'm sick of fucking wars... and I'm not even a hippy. we need to cut this shit out.

Agreed but what if Iran closing strait of Hormuz? They would be holding the worlds oil supply hostage. War sucks indeed but you can’t have a nation make a power play to squeeze the world. That and Israel is a close ally that Iran wants nothing more than to make a smoking crater. The U.S. is constantly involved in wars and military actions because the world is a fuct up place. People constantly like to take control and power and the U.S. has people all over the world to try to keep some order. World Police? Yes, but someone has to do it. Imagine what would happen if the U.S. pulled back everyone? I can guarantee more lives would be lost if the U.S. did that Vs. being in everyone’s business. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Why would Iran close the strait...? Because of sanctions and embargoes against her brought on by the US and her allies.
Who again is at fault for that? All because Iran may have nukes? Where are the sanctions against Israeli and Pakistani nukes?
One war at a time. The U.S. is trying to get nations to stop from getting Nukes. Once Iran has them they may just fire one at Israel to end an issue. Iran has a huge likely hood of firing a Nuke. Israel and the U.S. have been doing a LOT of counter intelligence and attacks, (Physical and Technological) to prevent another hostile nation from having them. Once they have them it’ll be close to impossible to remove them.
Pakistan is an issue and more so after the Osama incident but India has more than enough resources and know how to take them out. Israel has them because we gave them to Israel.
Once Iran has them they may just fire one at Israel to end an issue.
LOL.
Israel has Americas congress by the balls, it's army on a leash and unlimited access to her resources....plus over 300 nukes of their own to retaliate with.
Part of me wishes you get your way with Iran and they bring back the draft....then you can have your chance to protect Israel (home of the 2nd most advanced military in the world) from the rest of the middle east.
Bok, you might be interested in checking out STRATFOR's free newletter, I heard about that Jundullah/Mossad mess about 2 weeks ago, plus they give great, straightforward geopolitical analysis that most media outlets are either late on or don't report at all.
Also, completely agree with what wasabi posted. War with Iran is not comparable to invading a dilapidated mess of a country like Saddam-era Iraq or an even more poorly equipped country like Afghanistan circa 2001. Their infrastructure and capability is easily that of the two put together and more, the geographical size is as well, with the exception of some Turkmen in the northwest of the country it's religiously and ethnically homogenous for the most part, we haven't even finished the job or really completed our goals in Afghanistan yet, and these hawks are talking about ANOTHER war? Ridiculous. Add to that that America's force is diluted and exhausted and it's young are at all time high levels of complacency for the most part, I really don't think it would go down like some Fox news viewers believe it would. Instant disaster should America or Israel decide to embark on this.
