Israeli intelligence says Iran is within a year of rolling out nuclear weapons. In all probability you will see a surgical strike against facilities in Iran by Israel within the next year. How would the candidates handle this matter?

I think its a whale of question considering all of its implication. You got the Mid East, which everyone is up in arms about, and you have a nation that has essentially lended a hand from time to time. I think that these candidates could jump around it in so many ways that by the time they finished, we couldnt tell you where they stood.

we need to launch a pre-emptive strike on Israel to appease the ME. It should help us out tremendously in the PR dept :)

Seriously with Israel's past history of being pro active in matters like this it will happen sooner or later. I would support it.

They have been rocking eachother's boats for years so yeah, I mean sure it is inevitable but I think the Dems are really pushing this whole, "Anti big brother concept" as a part of their campaigns. What would you expect McCain to say? How much of a definitive answer do you think Obama or that other dude thats running for the Dems are gonna give us.

I'd be willing to bet they could duck and dodge and dance around that sucker for at least 20 minutes each.

McCain would probablly give you a "W" type response which would piss everyone off so......

I think McCain would surprise you with his answer. Hillary would dance around it and Obama, I have no idea.

Oh , he'd dance it too and you know it. It has zero opportunity for him to drop, "Change" and "Hope".

Unless he went with, "Unless something changes, I dont see any hope in the matter."

I do know if Obama did take a stance I probably would not agree with it.

Tell all of those countries that if you wanna fight amongst yourselves, FINE. Go ahead. Don't expect any help from the US. AND if any of you attack any US troops, holdings, territories, etc, we WILL forcibly remove your entire country and its entire population from existance and take all your stuff. Have a nice day.

Taking the gloves off Israel should scare the heck out of the rest of the ME. I'd say, "they are are their own nation and must do what they think is right to preserve that and defend themselves. We might discuss it but I will leave it to them to make their own decision."

It would certainly shake things up a bit.

Israel is our ace in the hole. The only way they make a strike at Iran, is if we pre-approve it.

While Israel does need and respect us they WILL do whatever they think is in their best interest. They may let us know what is coming and seek our "blessing" but they will most certainly go it alone on the strike if they need to.

On the surface, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) seems a humanitarian group helping Palestinian refugees. In reality, it actually helps destroy the chance of Arab-Israeli peace, promotes terrorism, and holds Palestainians back from rebuilding their lives.

Unique in history, UNRWA's job is to keep Palestinian refugees in suspended animation--and at low living standards--until they achieve the goal set for them by the PLO and Hamas: Israel's extinction. In the meantime, their suffering and anger is maintained as a weapon to encourage them toward violence and intransigence.

UNRWA schools become hotbeds of anti-Western, anti-American, and anti-Semitic indoctrination, recruiting offices for terrorist groups. UNRWA's services are dominated by radicals who staff and subsidize radical groups while potentially intimidating anyone from voicing a different line. UNWRA facilities are used to store and transport weapons, actually serving as military bases.

In this process, UNRWA has broken all the rules that are supposed to govern humanitarian enterprises. Consequently, UNRWA is the exact opposite of other refugee relief operations. They seek to resettle refugees; UNRWA is dedicated to blocking resettlement. They help refugees to live normal lives so that they can move on with their existence; UNRWA's role is to ensure their lives remain abnormal so they are filled with anger and a thirst for revenge that inspires violence and can only be quenched by a victorious return. They try to create stable conditions for refugees; UNRWA's mission is to enable radical political activity and indoctrination by armed groups which ensures a continual state of near chaos.

We don't have the troop numbers to adequately police Iraq IMO. There's small chance there will be a 3rd front (Iraq, Afghanistan). IMO the resources aren't there.

However, I like the idea of an air strike. IMO that's how Iraq/Saddam should have been handled instead of an invasion/occupation.

This should have been handled the same way Reagan handled Libya. It worked then, it would have worked now IMO. An air strike aimed at taking out the dictator.
