Hhhmmmmm............well, worst case scenario is that war erupts, we get involved, and somehow WE get attacked over here with nukes. However, getting nuked doesn't mean the game is over.

Well we've already been informed by all the namby pamby's of the world that there is no such weapons anywhere in the Middle East. What do those folks that are actually there know anyway?
Germany, France and Hillary; those are some good news sources.

I do not worry much if any about Israel. They have over 300 nukes and could level the cities in Iran, Syria, and Egypt at the same time. I also believe Israel could survive a nuclear strike.

What gripes me is the way we are used as the middle man and the money man. Why, oh why, do we shell out billions in aid to Israel and the arab countries each year?

[Guru]

I think at this point it's a habit, a worldwide habit.
Of course oil and defense stability would come into play but we buy and sell governments over there everyday.

Hawk, you are right. We do and have done Israels dirty work in the past. It is not that they can't, but it deflected agression from them, to which they are vulnerable, given they are surrounded on all sides by people sworn to destroy them. I agree they are capable. All this aid is another story. We do use it to buy influence, etc. The countries that still bad mouth us, i say cut em off. then they will know the difference. However, the people in power never suffer, it is the people. For the same reason that much aid money never makes it to the intended target. News article this week on the use of aid to Pakistan going to buy war supplies intended for India. India has nukes already.

The Israelites are bad-asses for real.
They don't have any stinkin Rules of Engagement.
They're kinda like ROK soldiers,but way more hard-core,if that's at all possible.
They'll kill everything.Rats,cats,dogs,men,women,kids.
It doesn't matter to them.

There were some Isreali soldiers training out at Shelby several years ago. I saw a few of them down at the gas station at the South Gate. They were talking in some English and in some other language, Arabic or Hebrew. I asked somebody about them, said they were Isreali.

What intel I've seen shows they are a force to be reckoned with. Well trained, pretty well armed, and they usually have good intelligence, thanks to the Mossad.
