1. I am going to ask the US to pressure Sharon to give up his nuclear

weapons first.

5. Israeli ambassador was on Washington Journal recently

claiming that Israel had no nuclear weapons. How's that for "now you see it, now you don't"?

12. He could be either a magician or a comedian, I suppose.

14. Yeah, I guess he never heard of Mordechai Vanunu who just

spent eighteen years in a Israel prison. Then was re-arrested and put under house arrest for giving an interview to Amy Goodman.

Mordechai Vanunu the Israel Nuclear Scientist has been telling the world for many years about the secrect nuclear program that Israel has.

2. Now they get down to the real purpose of the visit.

Better hurry, boys. You have only two months to finalize your plans.

3. it's been surmised that israel will bomb iran's nuke plants, w. u.s. help

and it seem's a plausible scenario, seeing as how israel has done this type of thing before.

4. I suspect the 2 warlovers were planning

To kick another hornets nest.

7. Not as long as successive US administrations are willing to be their

proxies.

9. I don't know who will go

But dubby is dying to shock and awe somebody.

Like Klatoobnikto says, it would probably be a mistake.

8. The one dimesional reporting on Iran does not do justice to what

that country is doing.Iran has entered into huge long term agreements to sell its natural gas to India and has even brought India's adversary Pakistan into a project to build a pipeline from Iran to India.That ought to be a very important step in building peace in that region that has seen many wars in the last thirty years.

Iran has also entered into economic cooperation with China on a long term basis.Not to mention its cooperation with Brazil and Venezuela.

To see Iran just from the perspective of Sharon is not a good thing in my opinion.

10. Very high temperatures

11. "Weapons of Mass Destruction 2" - coming soon to a war theater near you...

This is how we get into Iran. Israel will "pre-emptively" strike Iran and then the US when we go in to take care of things for them when Iran hits back. We'll say we have to protect our good "friend" Israel from the baaaad Iranians. I'd like to know why Israel and the US think only Israel can have weapons like this in the Middle East.

~snip~"Spreading photographs of Iranian nuclear sites over a lunch table at the Bush ranch in Texas on Monday, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of Israel urged President Bush to step up pressure on Iran to give up all elements of its nuclear program..."~snip~

Here we go again with the WMD routine. I am convinced the "faulty" intelligence Bushco relied upon to attack Iraq came from Israel as well.

By the way, does anyone know if Sharon is picking up more millions this trip? It seems every time he steps foot over here, he goes home with his pockets stuffed with cash.

13. yes, he was looking for money.

I can't remember how much though, I think the excuse this time was, they need it to dismantle the illegal settlements.
