The egyptian foreign minister openly announced that they\'ll move in on Israel if other countries will help foot the $100 billion bill. WW2 costed roughly $1 trillion combined, i believe.
I doubt Iraq would make a move, because it would just speed up any attack the USA plans on taking. And justify the USA in defending Israel.
Don\'t forget that Israel has nuclear weapons.
If you don\'t think that the Arab nations can get nukes overnight from Chechnyan rebels, then you\'re kidding yourself. Don\'t forget that some of the largest Uranium deposits in the world lie in the middle east... A little tidbit the US government doens\'t like bragging about. This is why they can\'t use satellites to detect weapons of mass destruction.
Israel no doubt has a stronger army than any of them, but they\'ll get trounced by sheer numbers. Take the civil war, the south essentially kicked the north\'s ass. But the north simply had too many supplies and people.
Israel is a nation that was founded by terrorism and treachery within the jewish population (Look up the name Ralph Castner). It remains a nation that survives on terrorism. Palestine was there as a nation for a very long time, their presence is well documented in the bible. Just because the UN doesn\'t consider them a legitamate nation doens\'t mean they didn\'t exist.
and the Iraqis are trying to wipe out the Kurds
Common misconception. There\'s actually very little evidence which concludes that ever happened. The UN even admits to this. It\'s typical US propaganda used to flaunt a war. Just like they won\'t tell you that Iraq paid back all reparations to Israel and signed peace agreements with the Saudis and Kuwait.
The only thing Saddam is guilty of on an international scale is not bending over so the US can **** him up the ass.
In any event, the article is baseless and in all probability is bull****. Just look at the guy who\'s talking...
Yuval Steinitz, chairman of the Knesset subcommittee for defense planning and policy.
The israelis were never a good source of intelligence.
