Oh, please. You said, "If you plan on attacking Iran and you need America to back you up are you going to announce it to the world or are you going to make things look like ordinary everyday actions."

And I pointed out that that's not an argument in support of some illicit actions. If everything looks normal, it may just be because everything is normal.

I don't know why you got so perturbed. I feel just like Mr. Kravitz.

You're praying for America going to war with Iran, aren't you?

My praying for war would be as imbecilic as you and your post are.

I asked that because you seem to have calculated everything, played out the scenario in your mind, and certainly get excited at any news that points in the direction of Israel-Iran conflict.

Is there ONE instance when you have spoken against a war involving Iran?

It may be exciting to you but to me it is a concern, especially considering the possible ramifications.

You ask this ^ while replying to this;

"My praying for war would be as imbecilic as you and your post are."

Looks like I nailed it huh?

Personally I am pretty sure it's part of God's plan , and I for one believe that a nuclear strike on Iran would be a key divisive move that would separate those who are God's and who are Satan's simply by how they react .

I don't jump on every opportunity to start a post on Israel versus Iran, so there's your clue but only if you can get it. So, what led to your calculations about American military's preparedness? Hope for the war, of the hope that it never happened. Me? I share General Fallon's school of thought on the subject...

"This constant drumbeat of conflict [with Iran]...is not helpful and not useful. I expect that there will be no war, and that is what we ought to be working for. We ought to try to do our utmost to create different conditions... What America needs is a combination of strength and willingness to engage."

As for your opinion of me, it would be imbecilic of me to take you seriously on that one.

Nah, Israel does not have the cajones to march off without PaPa America's blessing. They need that allowance they get to pretend they are a sovereign nation, no strings attached.

Think of it like a rebelious pain in the rear teenager you have. They threaten but will never actually go through with anything, they know where their bread is buttered.
