USA. They have been very successful of late in places such as Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan. They will be quite an asset. It won't alter the fact that fire will rain down on Israel from above. They couldn't prevent Hisb'allah doing it so imagine what it will be like when Iran starts firing proper ballistics at them.
Well with fire raining down on Israel as you put it I guess Israel is fecked. Damn. It's as if you can see the future. Do you have one of those crystal balls? Anyhow you need more cowbell in your delivery. You should have said " fire and brimstone will rain down on Israel from above ". Sounds more God like. And you need to follow up with an official Muwahahahahahahahahaha!
LOL. "Gotta have more cowbell!!"

I have no doubt that they're a potent military force. But think about it:

Once country (Israel)

vs.

Syria
Lebanon (well, hezbollah)
PLO
Jordan
Iran
al-Qaeda

A powerful military force can trump multiple weaker military forces. But they aren't necessarily good at stopping terrorist attacks. Just look at Iraq. Now imagine all those suicide bombings ten-fold in Israel, coming from different countries, different organizations, different cells.

edit: I have no idea if Jordan and Syria would fight Israel, but I wouldn't be surprised

Hey! That's a very good point that has been missed by just about everyone! Does this mean that Israel have given up on their 'nuclear ambiguity' stance?

Well pretty much the entire Mid East has tried to kill Israel and that ended up in Israel kicking ass. Anyways since that wall as been put up(cant remember name) suicide bombings are very rare.

But on a serious note, the only thing that has kept Israel (relatively) safe is the fact that its the only country in the region with nukes. Given the support & "advisors" Iran threw into the recent conflict, it would be crazy for Israel to not seriously consider eliminating the Iranian nuclear facilities.

And I feel a whole lot more comfortable with Israel than with Iran thank you very much.

It'd be bad, but I'm sure the Israelis have been through tougher stuff. We're talking about the country that repulsed mass Arab invasions over 3 times, so just suicide bombs would not take them down. Now if the nations threw their entire force into Israel and coordinated them properly, then Israel might be in a problem spot. I'm sure the US would intervene at that point, though.

When an article starts "(Someone) has drawn up secret plans" you know it's bullshit-scaremongering. Honestly, how secret can plans be when they are published in the news?

It was a joke. They have never publicly proclaimed to have them.

I don't buy the article for the record. It has a little something to do with zero evidence or proof. Read through it and you will see there is nothing hard there.

(I'm not talking about the plans Israel does or does not have, but rather the articles claim of them having obtained a secret report.)

Mate, my crusty corona was 60 bucks on the weekend and it aint exactly a gas guzzler, I don't wanna think about a falcon!!!

Helen did send teams to Iraq and Afghanistan...mostly reconstruction granted, but the Iraq team (and to a lesser extent the Afghanistan team) is there to score political points with a certain nation she wants to score free trade with...

I'd like to address some comments made by various posters.

When government plans of this ilk are 'leaked' to the public it is almost always a delberate act sanctioned by that government. Israel are just posturing and talking tough without formally admitting that they have nuclear weapons. It's as old as the hills - governments 'leak' information to the public and then act all shocked that it has come out and deny the allegations, the purpose of which is to get across a particular message in a circuitous and subtle manner.

Exactly. You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to allow something like that to get leaked.

Oh, sorry. I  get it now...

Actually it doesn't matter if the article is based on evidence or not, making plans is quite normal. Its quite probable that Israel has plans to attack these facilities, whether with nukes or not.

The tactical nuke they would use would be of the type that penetrates under the ground and then detonate. That is the difference. If Israel were to try and take out Irans "Hardned bunkers" that is what they would most likely have to use. Iran knows this and knows this would open up the "they used nukes first discussion". There is a big difference between tactical nukes and detonoting a nuke above a city.
