Neocons: Why US must attack Iran before Israel does

[NotAPrayer]

IRAN: Stop nukes by bombing oil wells, neocons suggest

Why attack Iran's nuclear facilities when striking their oil infrastructure would be much more effective in the scope of a US-led preventive war?

In a July report titled "The Last Resort: Consequences of Preventive Military Action Against Iran," and published by the neoconservative Washington Institute for Near East Studies, scholars Patrick Clawson and Michael Eisenstadt advocate military strategies that would ultimately discourage Tehran from pursuing any future non-civilian nuclear activities.

They argue that the U.S. should strike Iran before Israel does because the Jewish state "would have many disadvantages to the United States."

Perhaps if there is support in Washington for this sort of thinking, Israel's current sabre rattling may be more aimed at US consumption than aimed at Tehran?

i really don't think the US is in a position to attack iran. they just don't have the ability, what with them being stuck in iraq and afghanistan.

And if they strike at Iranian oil installations the price of oil will go through the roof.

Hopefully? Are you thinking about your car fuel in UK or your Muslim brothers/sisters abroad?! . Btw, we don't need the help of people like you (and we don't count on it). We're fully capable of defending ourselves from all possible ways regardless of what you and others think.

don't be so rude and insensitive. it seems that whoever you disagree with, you automatically resort to abuse. why do you do this?

Did you see on the news the other night that they've found oil reserves in Iraq that they think equal Saudi's?

This could be read by Iraniboy to mean something differnt to what you mean - Which is why he seemed a little miffed

I wasn't rude nor insensitive. I was shocked that some people care about their fuel more than the lives of innocent people somewhere else. This is not compatible with human moral values, let alone Islamic ones!

I know him. This was exactly what he meant. He just want to distract other member's attention from his recent inhuman view.

I hope that's true.

It would be nice to see the Yanks get a bloody nose.

It might just make them think twice about poking it into everyone else's business

oh and iraniboy, neg repping isn't going to get you anywhere. it shows that you can't come up with a decent argument.

I have no argument with someone who worry about his car fuel more than death of 70 millions Muslims.

I'm telling this because Iran which had no power,military arm,money,... in 1980s could defeat Saddam who was armed,supplied by US/Russia/Arab rulers,.... Now we're in far better situation.

And what if the bombing simply destroyed the oilfields and nuclear installatyions and did NOT kill ordinary people?

Oh, and does your "concern" for innocent people extend to the Jews of Israel? No, thought not.

Interesting times ahead, I fear.

Not forgetting the hacking skills Iran has at it's disposal. Or so i've been told.
