Cheney to Newsmax: Israel Will Attack a 'Nuclear' Iran
Sunday, 11 Sep 2011 04:09 PM
By Ronald Kessler
Former Vice President Dick Cheney sat down with Newsmax Chief Washington correspondent Ronald Kessler for this powerful interview in which the two discussed terrorism's threat to America, Israel, the Obama administration's policies, and Cheney's new memoir.
Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities if necessary to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon, former Vice President Dick Cheney tells Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview.
“I think they would,” Cheney said when asked about the possibility. “I think Iran represents an existential threat, and they'll do whatever they have to do to guarantee their survival and their security.”
Asked whether his opinion was based on discussions with Israeli leaders, Cheney responded, “I can’t attribute it to any one particular Israeli leader. I wouldn’t want to do that.” But he said, “I’ve had a number of conversations with a lot of Israeli officials, and I think they correctly perceive Iran as a basic threat.”

WHy do you hope not?
One of our best allies taking out a terrerist state. What do you have against that? Why protect the evildoers, beachy?

::) I don't want to see Israel attacking a Middle Eastern country, because it could result in another large scale conflict. We don't need that.

would you rather see Iran get a nuke, homie?

he's talked about this before in his usual way of never committing to a solid opinion. Out of dozens of posts the most you can get from him on this issue is that something needs done about it and that it can't be ignored but never any solid suggestion of what that includes.
-
Yeah Beach, you're either for Israel attacking, or you support Iran getting a nuke. There is no middle ground.

LOL, sounds like something Bush would say...
well, BB believes that Iran wants to destroy Israel and the US. He's stated that before. He believes it can't be ignored and that something needs to be done about it. Just no info about what he thinks needs to be done or what doesn't need to be done. I'm curious how he thinks on this but so far he won't say.

Whatch you talkin bout Willis? I support Ron Paul's view that we should just let Iran get nukes, because they're not going to use them anyway. :)

Suppose I'm guilty too. Don't want to see Israel attack, don't want to see Iran with a nuke. I'd prefer a political solution, but doubt we could get the support of the Arab League. Certainly support steps to limit their ability to get the needed technology and equipment. And I don't have a problem with subterfuge such as a virus that wipes out most of their...oh wait, we may have already done that, haha.

Now don't go taking Ahmadinejad at his word or anything. He'll be nice to Israel.
Regarding the virus, if you're ever in DC, check out the International Spy Museum. They have an exhibit that talks about cyber warfare/terrorism. Scary stuff.
-
what's the thing about the virus? Is that something I posted? I forgot lol...
OK BB, what should be done about Iran? You think they'll wipe Israel off the map if they get the bomb and you also hope that Israel does not attack Iran. You also think that the people of Iran are to far gone in their hate of Israel and America so I guess that doesn't leave much room for diplomacy from your standpoint.
What needs to be done? It's not an unfair thing to ask you.
-
oh yea, stuxnet virus that is now potentially dangerous worldwide. That was brilliant...
-
Bb doesn't know. Just another dude that knows what
We wouldn't do, but isn't offering any solutions?
