Israel Vows To Strike Back At Iran

(CBS/AP) SOFIA, Bulgaria - Israel vowed to strike back at Iran for a brazen daylight bombing Wednesday that killed at least seven people on a bus full of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria.

The bombing was the latest in a series of attacks attributed to Iran that have targeted Israelis and Jews overseas and threatened to escalate a shadow war between the two arch-enemies. Iran has denied involvement in the past but did not comment on Wednesday's attack.

--CLIP
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which wounded 30 others. But suspicion immediately fell upon Iran and its Lebanese proxy, the Hezbollah guerrilla group.

"All signs point to Iran," Netanyahu said. "Just in the past few months, we have seen attempts by Iran to harm Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and more. This is an Iranian terror attack that is spreading across the world. Israel will react forcefully to Iran's terror."

The Israeli leader gave no evidence to back his charges.

It could just as easily have been Turkey, cause they lost citizens at the hand's of Netanyahu and his mobsters, with no apology.

Carried out by Israel itself, in order to drum up more support for military action against Iran.

...hotel didn't involve killing Jews, just killing non-Jews with the hopes of blaming the murders on Arabs.

Netanyahu needs a righteous war for his re-election campaign, President Obama wouldn't mind a righteous war for his election campaign. Hell, if Ahmadinejad is up for election this year too, start building a goddamned bomb shelter!



I kid! I kid!
