MANY on the left say it's not up to us to decide and many are also naive enough to think Iran is being honest in saying that it only wants nuclear technology for peaceful purposes (cough BS cough), but a story caught my eye the other day. I didn't post anything about it because I wanted to wait and see how it would be perceived or if anyone else would notice:

Quote:A leader of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard is promising that American generals will be targeted and killed in revenge for last week's attacks on two of his country's leading nuclear scientists -- a threat Middle East experts say must be taken seriously.

In a speech published in Farsi at an Iranian website linked to the Revolutionary Guard, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Naghdi was quoted as saying that “the filthy Americans and the Zionists should not think that with killing our scientists, they can divert our nation from its path of Jihad and scare us.”

He continued with a specific threat: “We will mark the hanging sites of the American and Zionist generals and we will identify which hanging was in retaliation for the blood of our great martyr Shahriari.”

So libs, still think we shouldn't be concerned?

Israel will be forced to act unilaterally.

Perle: Israel Will Act on Iran

Israel ultimately will have to attack Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons, says Richard Perle, a key architect of President Ronald Reagan’s strategy to end the Cold War.

“Time is running out on [halting] Iran’s nuclear program, though I believe they’ve been dealt a severe setback by the clever insertion of a worm [computer virus] in their control systems,” Perle, now a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, tells Newsmax.TV.

He expects more action of that sort from Israel. “We’re not getting anywhere with the Obama administration approach of engagement,” Perle says.

If the choice is between acting and Iran becoming a nuclear weaponsstate, Israel will act, says former Defense Department official RichardPerle. A computer worm has dealt Iran's nuclear program a 'pretty severesetback,' he says.

“At every turn, we’re rebuffed and humiliated, which is one reason why our friends in the gulf are so nervous. I believe Israel will wait until the last minute, because you always do on matters of this consequence. But when it comes to the choice of acting now or watching Iran become a nuclear weapons state, I think Israel will act.”
