AEI Fellow After Meeting With Bush:
President May Take Military Action Against Iran In 12-18 Months
Reuel Marc Gerecht, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise
Institute and a member of a small group of analysts who were asked to
discuss their views on the Middle East with President Bush at a
private lunch this week, said this morning on ABC’s This Week that the
mid- to long-term fallout from Israel-Hezbollah conflict could be a
good thing because it may prompt Bush to take military action against
Iran.

GERECT:
I think more importantly -- because of the way the Syrians and
Iranians reacted -- it is possible that the president has gotten very,
very angry over that issue.
If, in fact, you see down the road -- because the premier issue for
the iranians is nuclear weapons program -- if you see down the road
the president taking a much harder line on that issue
STEPHANOPOULOS:
How much harder line could he take? Are you talking about military
action?
GERECT:
Well yeah it is conceivable you go down the road 12 or 18 months that
the president will say nuclear weapons in the hands of the mullahs is
simply unacceptable -- as he said many times.
And if in fact Lebanon contributes to the hardening of the American
postion, then I would say that hezbollah actions in Lebanon were a
great mistake.

Fact: Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and was the No.1 watched
organization by the CIA prior to 9/11.
Fact: Hezbollah is linking to the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon
Fact: Hezbollah is actively engaging in kidnapping and killing of innocent
people.
Fact: Syria & Iran are supplying Hezbollah with arms and money.
I would have already made strategical attacks on both Syria & Iran, and, I
would have announced the attacks in advance.
This would achieve two things: 1. They could get their people out of the
way. 2. It would show to their people just how impotent their government is
and what it is costing them when their government supports terrorists.
Then I would send in a B-1 and bomb an electrical power plant in 2 major
cities in each country, and, then go on television and tell Syria & Iran
that if they continue supporting terrorists, there will be 20 attacks in
each country.........with prior notification of course.

The larger fact is, if the CIA and AT&T are the only people
who know that the CIA is watching Syria, then they would
probably would have more success telling
the UN that they're watching Syria, rather than the U.S.

The only path Bush has is a limited nuclear strike against Iranian
installations.
Certain things follow in the short term:
1)
It will bring McCain into the presidency in '08, but by that time, the
congress will be Democratic.
2)
Iran will get really pissed-off at us, and will withhold oil from world
markets. So, gas for our SUV's will rise to probably 10$/gal. They'll
probably sink an aircraft carrier or two in the Gulf as well.
In the longer term:
3)
With sky-high fuel Middle Eastern energy costs, the US will finally
switch to alternative forms of energy, such as solar, etc.
4)
Pakistan isn't all that stable and will probably undergo what Bush calls
'democratization' - which, in reality will give the Islamo-Fascists the
bomb. These nut-cases will probably detonate one inside the US, who will
then give the Indians the green light to put an end to all life in Pakistan.

Why do you think it would take nukes? I think we could bring Syria & Iran to
their knees with conventional weapons. We could crush their economy with
strategic bombing strikes.

There odds of a 3rd world nation penetrating the defenses and getting close,
much less being able to make a strike at, are very slim.

In Iraq, we are trying to install democracy. In Iran, we would not be
entering the country, but simply destroying their economics by strategic
bombing of selected targets. We can even give them prior notice of the
target and advise them of the 24 hr period in which it will be hit, and they
would not be able to shoot down our B-1.

Why would anyone want to do that.
What are the benefits.. and to who?

Why test your dubvious conjectures?
Why not try normal diplomatic relations, instead?

No rational or sane person would, but if you haven't noticed, Bush is
neither of those.
He's on some messaniac crusade where he sees it his destany to help both
the weak Republicans and weak Democrats 'do what has to be done'.

We're talking about suicide bombers here - like in the movie Dr.
Strangelove, where Slim Pickins rides the bomb down. He's got his cowboy
hat in the air, and gives a yahoo as he straddles the bomb out of the
bombay door and finally gives the rooskies what's coming - only it's not
us, it's them.
The Republicans have made smuggling in a nuke easy. They only inspect
10% of the containers.

Ken,
Since you admit you want to destroy America to advance the goals of
Israel...
Why are you in America?
Get the ***** out, traitor.
Iran has never harmed me.
Hezbollah has never harmed me.
Israel and their ***** spies/loyalists cost me trillions.
Next, you fucking losers are amazing.
How many wars do you have to LOSE IN A ROW, before you admit you are a
total fucking idiot?
Iran would SMOKE YOUR ***** *****.
Iran would CASUALLY defeat you.
Your 'bomb them like a coward till they love me' plan has ALWAYS
FAILED.
It has NEVER NOT FAILED.
They will IGNORE your bombing, like all the other countries ignored it.
Wait for the next phase, then apply ENDLESS commandos armed with IED,
man-portable SAMs, ect, ect, ect, and DEFEAT YOU AGAIN.
Here is a clue, amateur idiot.
Finish LOSING Iraq, before forcing Iran and Syria and Hezbollah...
You know, Hezbollah????
THE FINEST SPECIAL FORCES ON EARTH TODAY? That Hezbollah?
Yeah, where yours and Israel's special forces are ALL TALK and ALWAYS
lose battles...
Hezbollah is ALREADY PROVEN to be able to out plan, out manuever, out
fight, and out will power ANYTHING you have.
They are 110% ready to lay down their lives for their lands and people.
ONLY ON FOX NEWS are American troops eager to DIE FOR ISRAEL.
Like you, you have MOUTH for Israel.
when it comes to FIGHTING, you PEE ALL OVER YOURSELF and hide under
your bed.
Don't force the Muslims to hand you yet ANOTHER beating.
You dumbfucks could not defeat Iraq and Iraq DID NOT EVEN HAVE AN ARMED
FORCES WHEN YOU STARTED.
Iran is FULLY prepared for 21st century war.
You fight in the 1970s
You will LOSE BADLY ----- AGAIN
Did I mention AGAIN?
