JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Ballistic missiles could be Israel's weapon of
choice against Iranian nuclear facilities if it decides on a
pre-emptive attack and deems air strikes too risky, according to a
report by a Washington think-tank.

Can you imagine that comes summer, more then 10M female student beauties throughout Iran, all at once take off their scarf, bare head, and walk the streets with short skirts and short sleeves?. Chant we want our freedom.

10M female hotties in short skirt chanting we want our freedom?! Dream on! Not that there is anything wrong with it! Oh and hotties don't wear "short sleeves"! That is so K-mart of you!

You are right, BibiYahu is crazy and fanatic enough to attempt such an strike.

Back in last year, US[Bush Admin] had denied them of cooperation for such a preemptive attach. They had asked for depleted Uranium[bunker buster] bombs from USA, an US had denied thier request.

Seems like Obama has been following closely on Bush's footstep, thanks to AIPAC.

No Ballistic missiles and no kosse' Sherri

There are better and more effective avenues available out there to reduce the Mullahs treat in the region.

This regime is by for more vulnerable to internal threats then any external one can mount. Soon and later the brave Iranians themselves will rise and throw these bums out of power and replace it with secular and democratically elected government.

Can you imagine that comes summer, more then 10M female student beauties throughout Iran, all at once take off their scarf, bare head, and walk the streets with short skirts and short sleeves?. Chant we want our freedom. Out with Akhoodah and out with fundamentalism. 

This type of warfare is by far more powerful and will yield the desired result then any missiles or fighter planes.

Stay tuned.

Now they're talking

The BS about using fighter jets to go bomb Iran and come back is just that, BS. Missiles are a better choice for such a scenario. Not that it is good, but if Israel is crazy enough to want a pre-emptive strike this is the more logical way to go. Although:

"... said a Jericho salvo could draw an Iranian counter-attack with Shehab missiles.

Some Israeli experts have been dismissive of the Shehab threat, citing intelligence assessments that Iran has deployed fewer than 100 of the missiles and that, if fired, most would be destroyed in mid-flight by Israel's Arrow II interceptor.

"Under such circumstances, we would expect little more than a repeat of the Gulf war," said one ex-general, referring to Iraq's firing of 40 Scud missiles at Israel during the 1991 conflict.

Sounds like Bush-Cheney Iraq's WMD and will be greeted as liberator case. Scud missles of 1991 compared to missles of 2009, some baby version of which damaged Israeli optimism in Lebanon. Not to mention that even if handfull of the 100 missles reaches Israel there will be casualties. Unless of course they can get guarantee from Iran that like Iraq and Syria they will not fight back!

In the end the consultant said;

"You look at any major Western military, and you'll see that such strikes are the purview of manned warplanes, while ballistic missiles are reserved for nuclear-strike scenarios."

Even in the nuclear-strike scenarios again handfull of Iranian missles reaching Israel will cause massive casualties. Bottom line there will be massive casualties on both sides with no clear winner and a guarantee of years of more violence in the region to follow.
