Boooo Boooo I gotta agree with DFF on this one.
Any pre-emptive strike by Iran better be a real doozy because if they don't knock out everything the Yank's got in one fell swoop, they are really effed in every sense of the word. And since they don't have a snowball's chance of doing that...
This is posturing and nothing more. But I do wonder if some of our OT friends believe they do have the "right" to do it? What's good for the goose is good for the gander?

What are we talking about here....
The thread title says pre-emptive...but I didn't get that from any of the quotes in the article at all. However, Lanny's dreamworld is based on preemption.
What the Iranians have said in the article is well within their rights. The Israeli's have no right to go blow up the reactor. That is what the Iranians are protecting with these announcements.
I don't believe anyone in the US government wants to go starting anymore conflicts right now....so this is all of no consequence anyway.
Just puts the US on notice to keep Sharon on a short leash. Smart move by them IMO.
