Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, July 05, 2009

The head of Mossad, Israel's overseas intelligence service, has assured Benjamin Netanyahu, its prime minister, that Saudi Arabia would turn a blind eye to Israeli jets flying over the kingdom during any future raid on Iran's nuclear sites, according to a report in the Sunday Times of London. "The Saudis have tacitly agreed to the Israeli air force flying through their airspace on a mission which is supposed to be in the common interests of both Israel and Saudi Arabia," a diplomatic source said last week.

Saudi Arabia's official stance on the Shi'ite sect is not too nice... wahabi nutjobs. Something about heresy and all that. Also, Iran is another major regional power that makes them uncomfortable, religion aside.

Letting the Israelis do their dirty work is a page out of our playbook, though.

Works for me.

Meh, I have no love for Saudi Arabia... at least their leadership. The US rips on Iran for being a state sponsor of terror run by religious wackos, but they ignore the fact that Saudi Arabia and other gulf states are breeding grounds of radicalism. Saudi Arabia is under the control of a sect that makes the nuttiest ayatollah look sane.

What a big difference a little crude and AIPAC money can make...


The Irony makes me laugh,Saudi Arabia is as Anti-Semite as they come. Yet they have no problems in using Isreal to keep fellow muslims in check. The DR Anti-Semites must be going nuts over this news, if not then its either being ignored or way over their heads

Let the Israeli's fight their own battles.

They know how to do it.


.......the only thing that Muslims hate more than Buddhists, Christians and Jews........

.......is each other........

I really, really hope Israel does not do this.

When an Arab Nation "gives the nod" to Israel to bomb another Arab Nation.....you know it's not going to end well.

Please, please, please please,please.

What choice does Isreal have? To wait until Iran has enough nukes to blow Isreal off the map, like Iran says it will?

Isreal wouldn't have to take this step if we had remained their ally. But with Obama directing Isreal not to build homes while at the same time saying that we shouldn't meddle in Iran's affairs and that Iran has the right to have nuclear capability, well, he doesn't leave Isreal much choice. Isreal is going to have to do something to stop Iran, since no one else is. Too bad Obama doesn't use his "diplomacy" with Iran for anything other than groveling and making a fool of himself.

complete INSANITY. if Israel commits such an unprovoked attack this AMERICAN will disown Israel in thought and deed and my government representatives WILL know it.

i have long supported Israel but I will not stand next to such insanity.

will admit to my part in it up to this date: whether i voted for Bush or not he was my president for 8 years and he has led to outrages, such maliciousness, such ineptness and such violence that my country is now is very bad shape internationally, the attitude Bush led with has permeated many nations looking for for further excuse to act similarly, if Israel follows this path they risk, not they will lose, the friendship we have had.

in any event one CANNOT fight fire with fire and one cannot force change upon another at the tip of jet bomber or by any other forceful means. those things are for self-defense ONLY. acting in self-defense requires that you either be hit or that the offending force is own its way to you, such as ducking before the punch lands and NOTHING LESS.

this is only way love and peace can ever prevail. there may be many loses, much sacrifice. we lead by nothing but example.

and, Gandhi would very likely disagree with my way of self-defense. i suggest that he is right and i am wrong.

"Please, please, please please,please."

Be careful what you wish for. The remaining crude would be both extremely expensive and more than a little radioactive.

Since when do Libs care about oil? Batteries in landfills are way better for the environment! Like totally.

yeswecan? What the hell are you saying? Love and peace. Pull your head out of you @$$ and we will all welcome you to the real world. The middle east hates Isreal as well as America. Remember the whole "Great Satan" thing. Unless you wrap a towel around your head and pray to the right Alah, you are an infidel.

If Israel does this, it will only reignite the Arab radicals, that's why. We have succeeded in convincing Iraquis and Afghanis we don't want to convert them. That was a hell of a lot of blood lost to make that progress and an Israeli strike against Iran would ruin it all.
I don't want the price our dead paid to be ruined by Israeli militarism. Period.

The middle east hates Isreal as well as America.

......yes......but they also hate each other.....

...remember that Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia have peace treaties with Israel.....so while they conduct their business with Israel on the sly.....they are closer in their goals with Israel than with Iran......

.....indeed.....if Israel nuked Iran.....there would be quiet cheering in Saudi, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, and other Muslim ME countries......

from the article -

The head of Mossad, Israel's overseas intelligence service, has assured Benjamin Netanyahu, its prime minister, that Saudi Arabia would turn a blind eye to Israeli jets flying over the kingdom during any future raid on Iran's nuclear sites.... "The Saudis have tacitly agreed to the Israeli air force flying through their airspace on a mission which is supposed to be in the common interests of both Israel and Saudi Arabia," a diplomatic source said last week....

A "tacit" agreement? By some unnamed "diplomatic source"?

Bull, I won't believe it until I see it in writing by the Saudis.

What about Iraqi air space? Israel would need permission to fly over Iraq to get to Iran and no way would I believe Iraq would give the go ahead on that one.

WHY does Israel have to start this crap now? We all know Israel is going to end up dragging the USA into it.




sorry, messed up on the "bold" print in my above post

To wait until Iran has enough nukes to blow Isreal off the map, like Iran says it will?

Link please.

If the saudis give Israel the go ahead, the sunnis in Iraq will pay a bloody price and the border between saudistan and Iraq will not be a nice place to be.

I agree with you 100%. I like the Israeli people but I'm fed up with the Neocons in the Israeli government always trying to drag us into fights against all of Israel's perceived enemies -- which just happens to be every country in the Middle East.

Obama needs to make it clear to the world that if Israeli nukes Iran the U.S. will not back them up -- with either money or weapons or allow them any air space we control Israel to pass though for an attack on Iran.

Isn't our being bogged down in two wars -- Iraq and Afghanistan -- enough for Israel? Israel wants to drag us into another war? And the U.S. would be dragged into it, no doubt about it.

Do you know that studies have estimated if Iran's nuclear facilities are nuked the radiation levels in the wind currents would kill more than one million people in India?

Besides, Israel could never take out all of Iran's nuclear plants in one strike as some are underground and they are too far spread out. Nuking Iran would be a disaster -- not only for Israel but for the U.S. as well as many other countries.

Iran has no intention of ever nuking Israel and Israel knows it. Iran currently has contracts lined up with Russia, China, and a number of other countries for Iran's natural gas and other resources and Iran is not going to chance having the entire world come down on them just to take a swipe at Israel. Iran would loose billions in business contracts if they did, and therefore would never attack Israel first.

No Nukes. Ever.

Tough assertion to believe.

#15 ICHIRO....You are a brain dead imbecile.

Israel has been provoked by Iran declaring to exterminate them and developing nuclear weapons to carry out their promise. If Israel awaits to be attacked, there will be no Israel left to respond.

Also "love and peace" will never prevail with islam.

Superstistion is the root of all evil.

Appease diablo. That'll make the radicals our friends. Cowards like you are the reason wars are fought. Some things need to be handled before they get out of control to the point of war.

Anyone who believes that appeasement as a policy is being pursued clearly does not understand what historically the policy of appeasement entails.

Appeasement = Surrender
It's that simple.

Nope. You sound like the rightwing fool who showed on Chris Matthews about a year ago. Try looking it up on Wikipedia.

Hey LastAmerican, that was the post below mine that you were responding to. It was posted by ICHRO. I'm the one that posted saying that we are leaving Isreal no choice but to take out Iran before Iran obliterates Isreal. Although I am somewhat heartened by Biden's recent comments that Israel has a right to defend itself and make its own decisions on national security.

I've been doing that all day, sorry.

Don't you get tired of fighting all of Israel's wars and perceived future enemies? Tired of our own boys being the ones to spill their blood on Middle Eastern sand? If Israel wants war with Iran -- and they are chomping at the bit to go to war with them -- then let Israel's boys do all the fighting.

Northguy3 you want a link confirming that Iran says it wants to destroy Isreal? Don't you ever read international news? I can't spend time trying to educate you, but I did do a quick google search and found at the top of the list an article where the German Chancellor acknowledges that Iran has made the statement many, many times. You're on your own to follow up with further educating yourself.

I guess I should have said

Sorry, I'm not too good and Lib speak.

All of you "love and peace" advocates that think we just need to show Iran some love, have you not taken the time to view the tapes on youtube and other sites confirming the thousands of people chanting "Death to America" "Death to Isreal"? It's how they begin/end their legislative meetings! Can you imagine if we did something like that in our congressional meetings in the US? They even have an official Death to America Day, November 5. And they hate Isreal even more than us. Do a youtube search. You can see for yourself.

Isreal is the country we're talking about bombing Iran. Nobody said the U.S. is doing it. If anything, Isreal would be used to do America's dirty work in this situation.

Here's a link where you can watch the Iranian President getting crowds of hundreds of thousands to chant "Death to Isreal."

In what way do you feel the U.S. would gain from having Iran nuked? Because Iran was talking about selling their oil in Euros instead of the dollar?

Any use of nuclear weapons is suicide on a planetary scale. Deal with it.

Are you kidding me? How do we benefit from Iran being nuked? The point in Isreal making a preemptive strike against Iran is not to nuke them for the sake of nuking, but to disable their nuclear capability, just like Isreal did to Syria a fews years ago.

Iran is building nuclear weapons that they will distribute to anyone that will use them against the US on American soil. Of course we're better off if they lose their nuclear capability. That means we're better off if Isreal obliterates their nuclear capability. Because frankly, if you think Obama's approach of grovelling is going to work, well, you're wrong. All Obama is doing is making a laughing stock of himself in Iran.

I guess 9-11 just wasn't enough of a wake up call for some of us. Watch the videos on youtube if you need to be convinced of how much Iran hates us. It's similar to the movie Independence Day. Remember when all the politicians were so excited and asked the aliens what they wanted? The politicians were falling all over themselves trying to be nice. And the aliens responded with one word :"DIE". That's exactly what Iran wants of America and Isreal. They are very open about it. So why do you keep denying it?

It doesn't take a nuclear strike to destroy a nuclear site.

I do not believe the Saudis would give the nod. The story is a lie.

This is just to let you know I'm not avoiding answering you, am just really busy right now. But did read your answer and will comment on it later, okay?

You say it's best to disarm Iran so they don't pass out nukes to others to use against us but you don't think nuking Iran is not going to anger the entire Muslim world against us? You've heard the saying "payback's a bitch."

Okay, have to run now but will show up on this thread again.

The U.S. can outpayback anyone in the world. Maybe it's time for a little competition.

'Wiped off the Map' The Rumor of the Century

as for the Youtubes

one has to wonder what an Iranian would think of some of rhethoric that flies around the Good Old USA, as presented on this thread


....Ahmedinejad is asking for it.......
I hope they do
.....indeed.....if Israel nuked Iran.....there would be quiet cheering in Saudi, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, and other Muslim ME countries......
Also "love and peace" will never prevail with islam.


Saudis want to maintain their form of government. They spend a lot of time and energy preventing dissidents bent on abolishing the monarchy from gaining a foothold in their country. They most likely feel that Iran would eventually work to undermine them if it was more powerful in the future.

I wonder if this last election sealed the deal, so to speak, for the Saudi

Can you imagine if we did something like that in our congressional meetings in the US?


Yeah like a president refering to an axis of evil.

In response to: "I do not believe the Saudis would give the nod. The story is a lie."

It's a lie? Based upon what? If you will recall, during the first Gulf War the Saudis begged us to come in and liberate Kuwait from Iraq. Begged us to, and supported us 100%. They have no desire for a nuclear capable Iran to take over the region any more than they wanted Iraq to do so.


In response to: "You say it's best to disarm Iran so they don't pass out nukes to others to use against us but you don't think nuking Iran is not going to anger the entire Muslim world against us? You've heard the saying "payback's a bitch.""

Well let's see. AFTER we were attacked on 9-11 for no reason other than being "infidels" we invaded Iraq. That was 7 years ago. So far no payback, although Obama's policies are undoubtedly making it easier for us to be attacked again, so I won't be surprised if we get our 7 year overdue payback sometime soon. Like, for example, if North Korea (Iran's big ally) or Iran itself is able to transfer nuclear weapons to a radical extremist group who would use them on American soil. So it's best that we STOP them from gaining that capability. That's why Biden is now saying the US will stand by and let Isreal disarm Iraq.

As far as the entire Muslim world being against us, no, Pakistan and the Saudis are not against us. Neither is Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, etc. It's the radical Muslim extremists that are against us, not the entire Muslim world.

Besides, no one is talking about nuking Iran. Isreal is not planning on nuking them. Isreal is planning on taking out Iran's nuclear capability, like Isreal did to Syria two years ago. You didn't hear anyone complaining about Isreal's airstrikes against Syria in which Syria's nuclear plant was obliterated. None of the muslim countries complained.

To try and equate the President talking about the axis of evil with a governing body literally yelling and chanting the mantra "Death to America! Death to Isreal!" at every legislative meeting is patently absurd and warrants no further comment. Go drink some more kool aid.

hahahaha, when the President of the most powerful nation in the history of the world refers to your nation as an axis of evil laying the groundwork for an invasion of your neighbor, well that hold some scariness for those on the receiving end of said denunciation.

Like, for example, if North Korea (Iran's big ally) or Iran itself is able to transfer nuclear weapons to a radical extremist group who would use them on American soil.



who gave NK their nuclear technology?

Truthhurts I read the link you posted about the "whiped off the map" line the President of Iran supposedly said (or didn't say).

I have no reason to doubt the website you posted, but even still if we look at the line:

"The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time."

How do you think Ahmadinijad would want to accomplish this? The only way I see it happening is through war. How else are you going to get millions of Israelis to just leave their homes, and let the Palestinians or some other Arab nation in to govern?

Sounds like he never said wipe them off the map, but what he did say seems to call for the same result.

my point is only to clarify and correct the assumptions and statements being made

there is no doubting that Iran and Israel are in conflict and both sides have expressed strong rhethoric. to use that to justify an attack?

I see what you are saying, but a country pursuing nuclear weapons talking about the destruction of your people is a scary concept.

Israel isn't picking the fight with Iran. Pakistan is a muslim nation with nukes and Israel has no beef with them. If Iran weren't taking this offensive posture against Israel, then there probably wouldn't be as much of a problem here.

Its not the rhetoric that might justify the attack, its the rhetoric combined with actions.

AS long as the Kingdom of Saud is not directly threatened, the Saudis will always welcome conflict in surrounding countries as it helps them to inflate Oil prices.......which helps the Bush family make even more money off of War.

The Irony makes me laugh,Saudi Arabia is as Anti-Semite as they come. Yet they have no problems in using Isreal to keep fellow muslims in check. The DR Anti-Semites must be going nuts over this news, if not then its either being ignored or way over their heads

oh yeah.. its WAY over our heads just because most of us couldn't give two shits if the whole region disappears in a nuclear fireball..

the arrogance of some pricks.

I'm looking forward to the fireworks. It could be better than the Fourth of July.

I guess a potential nuclear conflagration on the part of iran or israel wouldn't cause blow back to our 100K troops in the region? You know the crazies are thinking of a scenario where they could deal a fatal blow to our military just by nuking a major base and hopefully no paki/ukranian nukes are floating around to help facilitate that event. For the US soldier in the ME I sincerely hope the Israelis don't nuke or do something stupid.

"Appease diablo. That'll make the radicals our friends. Cowards like you are the reason wars are fought. Some things need to be handled before they get out of control to the point of war."

Last american, where did I say "appease?" Get real. I said if Israel strikes Iran it will destroy all the good will our BLOOD has earned among Arabs in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's all. Now are you the lastamerican or an Israeli? You do not seem sure.

Mossad is their CIA.

If our CIA told our President that Saudi would let us attack Iran, would that be news to the President? Would it even be in the press? They would just speak to each other, right?

It appears they are performing the same psyops that the CIA has been furiously involved in the destabilization of Iran pre and post elections.

YESWECAN says:

apparently you and the other war mongers here use that sort of thing to represent imminent danger which would, at least legally and to many morally, allow a preemptive strike.

so if i drive down the street and yell out the window that i hope you drop dead tomorrow, you say that's license to go over to my house and blow me up.

what side are you on?

anyway, asshats aren't much of a threat, only the whacko, loonies, are (despite Palinites).

the best thing we can do is show the world how we care about ourselves and our own backyard.

IF someone attacks us, we ought to be quite able to handle that. despite thay BUSH has REALLY fucked that up all around.

want to prove how GREAT we are? there you have it, know get busy sweeping up this catastrophe we have HERE.

start with Universal single payer healthcare for all and ending the Prohibition. get those done then we'll talk more.

until then, do stop running around threatening people and shaking sticks.

freedom is sometimes scary, it requires responsibility and leadership, get fucking used to it.

we went a long way in simply electing a man like Obama. but so many wingnuts raging racially and sticking out their asses and waving their guns and bibles the world watching us may soon again loose faith.

a few very loud jerk-offs want America to fail, why? because they are stupid little narcissists... a disorder marked by an inability to empathize (and a huge block on their collective shoulder).

business as usual

one has to wonder what an Iranian would think of some of rhethoric that flies around the Good Old USA, as presented on this thread

If it was the rhetoric coming from Truthy, they'd think we were a bunch of tag-hating, anti-cupcake pussies.

bertrand russell's last written words...

On 31 January 1970, Russell issued a statement which condemned Israeli aggression in the Middle East and called for Israeli withdrawal from territory occupied in 1967. The statement said that:

The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was "given" by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent just settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East. We are frequently told that we must sympathise with Israel because of the suffering of the Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis. [...] What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and to invoke the horrors of the past to justify those of the present is gross hypocrisy.[36]
Bertrand Russell, 31 January 1970

This was Russell's final ever political statement or act. It was read out at the International Conference of Parliamentarians in Cairo on 3 February 1970, the day after his death.

No, but if you said that you were going to eliminate me, like Iran has said of Israel, then I would most certainly do everything I could to keep you from succeeding. I know you didn't address me but I'm on the same page as yeswecan. Israel has every right to attack Iran's nuclear capabilities, especially with the rhetoric that has come from Iran.

By the way, criticism of Israel is not the same as anti-semitism and those who belive it is are hopelessly stupid.

believe

Anything which hurts Iran is something the Saudis will support. Of course, if Israel does something, those same Saudis will do as much screaming at them as the rest of the Arab world.

Iran learned well from the Israeli strikes on Syria and Iraq. They have distributed their nuclear program to various sites around Iran. And put at least some if not most in or very near civilian populations. The only way Israel could destroy Iran's nuke program would be to bomb most of Iran. Neither China nor Russia will support that. And, since China has signed various economic deals with Iran, including the purchase of oil, they would be very likely to take out their disapproval on us.

The entire concept is a neocon wet dream. And worth just as much. Still, if John Bolton and his buddies agreed to lead the cavalry charge in person into Iran, I would whole heartedly support that.

If Israel does attack, people in the ME will assume it was done in cooperation with the United States (even the ones who like America will now have a new reason to hate us).

All of the protests in Iran will cease immediately as they rally around their fellow countryman in support of retaliation and Oil prices will skyrocket.

Well, the emphasis of my post was on the negatives of attacking Iran. I ended by conceeding that if an attack happened and people like Bolton put their bodies in the lead of such an attack, I'd be happy. And from that you derived the impression that I supported bombing Iran. Wow. Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't have a day job.

#63, and #69. Exactly. Perhaps this story is just an attempt to scare the oil prices higher. Besides, if Israel was going to do it they would not need permission to overfly they would just go ahead anyway. And it would be done in secret. The fact of this newspaper story to me almost makes it a sure thing that it won't happen.

It could be a media story to support an oil price hike in order to fleece more Americans out of their hard earned money (provided they are still employed).

Middle Eastern religious nuts are scary.

Are U.S.Taxpayers "OK" with Funding even more Israeli "Genocides" in the Middle East?

So the Saudi Royals are saying,in their left handed way,that it's alright with them if the U.S. TAXPAYERS "Fund" another Israeli War of Aggression in the Middle East and "Murder" even thousands more innocent people than they recently "Murdered" in Gaza!!!

Awesome. Can't wait for Iran to be nothing but a sea of glass.

Jeddah, July 06, SPA -- An official source said here today that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia categorically denies a report published in a British newspaper saying that there were contacts between the Kingdom and Israel and that the Kingdom would allow Israel to use the Kingdom's airspace for any kind of hostile activity.

The source said the Kingdom is extremely surprised at and categorically denounces the publishing of such false news that contradict its firm and transparent policy towards the Israeli Occupational Authorities or towards preventing the use of the Kingdom's territories or airspace for aggression against any other country.

--SPA

Case closed.

Awesome. Can't wait for Iran to be nothing but a sea of glass.

Such hostility in wishing for the deaths of millions of civilians (usually a sign of over-compensating for ones own insecurities)

Why so hostile? Haven't been able to smack the wife around lately? Why's that? She leave after the moonshine ran out?


See.....two can play that game.

I find it peculiar that this is the 3rd overseas trip by the Pres. and he hasn't stepped one foot in Israel. I know that sounds partisan, but hey this is the only Israel thread. They have to be one of our biggest trading partners in the Middle East and I still believe they're our biggest ally.

especially when the chips are down...like right after 911
