IN WHICH IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT CENK UYGUR IS A BRAINLESS TWIT
It is Uygur’s eye popping notion that it is hypocritical to support your friends and oppose your enemies that has us scratching our heads in perplexity
except that if israel does preemptively nuke iran, it won't be our friend anymore, nor will it be doing itself any favors. or shouldn't be. after all, its actions will do more to set back u.s. interests in the region than anything else. iran can shut down the straits of hormuz, which would probably cause a collapse of the world oil market and the u.s. economy as well. an israeli nuclear attack would mark the end of its peace treaties with egypt and jordan, and probably an end of diplomatic and trade relations with much of the developed world. the u.s. would have to decide whether to continue to prop up israel and join it as an official outlaw nation, or look out for our own commercial interests.
cent is right on the mark. the idea of an israeli nuclear attack on iran is a nightmare scenario and should be treated as such. iran getting a nuke is bad. but this kind of preemptive attack is worse.

HAGEL SAYS "NO DEFEAT" IN iRAQ: JIHADIS GIGGLE
the one detail you seem to be missing is that the islamists are already celebrating american impotence in iraq. arguing that we can't pullout because it would cause our enemies to celebrate is a bad argument. they're already reveling in the our inability to get out. sure, they will also claim it is a victory when we eventually leave, but staying won't stop them from doing that either.
the fact is, eventually u.s. forces will leave iraq. it's inevitable. a clear majority of both the american and iraq people want us out and those majorities are growing, not shrinking. iraq is already a foreign policy disaster for the u.s. the question is no longer how can we avoid disaster, it's how can we minimize the damage.
