Reply #14: At first, I took the 'news' with a grain of salt

because countries draw up 'plans' for war scenarios and threats all of the time. No doubt, the Pentagon has 'plans' to invade Canada, France, Italy, and Mexico but it doesn't necessarily ensure the plans will be implemented. However, after watching the play it was getting yesterday, I tend to agree that Israel is once again trying to push/goad us into it.

My fear is that they already have an agreement and are setting the stage the the American psyche to make sure it happens. Another "OMG! They're going to wipe Israel off the map with a nuclear bomb! We have to do something about that!" moment.

It's also noteworthy how no one is talking about the types of munitions that Israel is proposing from the 'alleged' plans. Small nuclear bunker busters? Aren't those the same type of weapons that Rummy got everyone in an uproar about a few years ago when he tried to get approval to do research and testing? hmmmm....gotta wonder just exactly what the extent of that cargo was we shipped to Israel during the Israel/Lebanon engagement of a few months ago.

Not to mention that Israel has transitioned into a confirmed nuclear state without any non-proliferation treaty agreements.
