According to the paper, one Washington source said the "temperature was rising" to launch an Iranian attack inside the Bush administration. This information comes on the heels of reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency last week that cited "significant cooperation" with Iran over its nuclear program, including the slowing of uranium enrichment.
They have quite a collection of equipment....
We do not need another war...... the military does not have the man
power for another ground war. If we hit them with air strikes and wipe
everything out, there would probably not be a need for a ground war.
It's crasy......

Because since 1948 it has done so on 6 occasions quite successfullyI fail to understand why is it so many believe Israel can easily deal all by itself with the enemies surrounding it.
For some of the same reasons why Alexander the Great and his armies were so successful is the reason why Israel has always come out a head...So far, i can think of just one historically powerful army that proved undefeated on the battlefield...it was that commanded by Alexandros III Makedonon, better know today as Alexander The Great.
He gutted the Thebans, the Greeks and the Persian armies wherever they clashed.
Udet, again, Israel won more than once and each occasion she pummeled her adversaries so badly that either the US or USSR (when it existed) had to threaten to come in to restrain her....That Israel won once, does not will mean they can continue keepin the upper hand forever. It has happened to all armies of world powers in history of war, no matter how powerful, professional and/or well equipped they might have been. At one time or another, most powerful armies of the world had due appointments with downfall. Not entirely sure if Israel is something like a world power, surely a power in the region though.
Just the fact that Isreal hasn't used any nukes is a tribute on what she could do conventionally.Or is this confidence based upon the notion Isreal has nuclear weapons? I do not think the Israelies might dare to use such type of armament against its enemies, and even if they´d do it, i do not think the overall panorama would be too nice for Isreal.
Bekaa Valley - I suggest you read this.....I was once told Syria´s army is highly competitive, and their armament can more than compete with that of Israel´s -although they lack nuclear weapons-.
Bottom line, Israel could bitch-slap Syria anytime at will should she have to desire to do so...
