Thank heaven for the Israelis, they don’t give thrupney for PC cobblers and world opinion, they care about protecting themselves. So if Iran is pledged to wipe them off the map they’ll go and sort it.

[bazwillrun]

The US would be more than happy for Israel to do its dirty work for it.

but unless there was a direct, imminent very real threat of an attack from iran I think its highly unlikely that Israel would attack unilaterally.

I also dont think that the US wants to bring its war machine back from the the desert until iran is sorted out, its got all it needs out there in place, battle hardened, battle ready, acclimatised to desert warfare and rearing to go, so the last thing it wants is to ship its military machine back home and then have to ship it back out again.

what, you think there're not enough wars going on already?

[DrFilth]

nothing new for them

Well they've done it befre - 20 years ago they destroyed a nuclear plant in Baghdad.

However Iran isn't stupid and these plants are hard targets and a long way off.

they've looked at this before - this is an analysis from 2 years ago

good to see Britain is planning once again to go to war in Washington's hip pocket. Politicians don't learn very fast.

[rov1100]

I think some policians have been watching Dr Strangelove. We haven't had a world war for over 50 years lets have another one.

[anotheoldgit]

I posted a few weeks ago that due to the financial situation and huge unemployment, these situations have all the ingredients for the outbreak of a major war.

[Gromit]

Good to have you back Geezer.

[sandyRoe]

Could the coalition take the strain of another war?

[Gromit]

THE BUSHEHR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT:
Was instigated not by Dinnerjacket and the mad Ayatollah's but by our mate, the Shah of Iran. The US and Britain didn't make any fuss about it in 1975 when the contract was signed. After the Islamic revolution, the west changed its tune and the project was delayed. It didn't stop the west turning a blind eye to Pakistan's Nuclear ambitions during the same period.

[Kayless]

Who said owt about the coalition, let the Saucepans sort it out, they won't mess about.

/// Good to have you back Geezer. ///

Where is he?

[Kromovaracun]

HO! Dinnerjacket! I get it! It's like the last part of AhmaDINEJAD - the Iranian President don'tchaknow - if you take that on it's own it's EERILY like DINNERJACKET! HA HA HA! Guffaw! Guffaw! That'll get his knickers in a twist, I'll say!

My word, what heavyweight commentary! What penetrating satire! What cutting-edge wit! It's almost as if I were a reading a cartoon from Punch!

Glorious, what.

[Kromovaracun]

"Where is he?"

Right in front of you.

[jno]

it's the "dinnerjacket" that's the giveaway, aog. People try to disguise themselves but they can't disguise their kneejerk thinking

[anotheoldgit]

jno

Thanks for pointing that out, I obviously didn't get the connection.

But even so how does Gromit know that Kayless is indeed Geezer?

After all these Descriptions, i.e. 'old dinnerjacket' etc, sometimes catch on, and therefore can often be used by others.

[jno]

this one hasn't been. My guess is if you do a search, you won't find many people used the word in this fashion. There are probably other giveaways that I haven't been alert enough to spot.

[nightmare]

he was referred to as
"armoured dinner jacket" on Have I Got News For You quite a few years ago.

[jno]

ah, perhaps Kayless is Ian Hislop then. But I'm guessing not.

[jackthehat]

'Jump and shouts'
'Bubble and Squeaks'
'Right oh!'
