than conventional weapons). They have chosen not to. If Israel was waging the kind of war that all the ATS armchair generals are accusing it of
there would be tens-of-thousands dead at this stage. I'm not suggesting that I agree or disagree with Israel's tactics or necessarily condone its
actions but simply stating fact. And I fear that Iran's motives are anything but pure.
your right
destroying bridges
no way for aid to get in or cuvilians to get out of harms way
destroying infrontstructure
destroying powerplants, factories ,boats and so forth causing billions dollors worth of damage which will take years to rebuild.
flawed intel
if you read the other topic about IAF piolets dilibratly missing targets because of flawed intell, killing countless cuvilians.
please dont call me a armchair genearl as unlike the true arm chair generals i dont preach a country to wiped out of to start war.
and there is a big diffrence between saying someone has the right to deffend them selves from others (hence my support for lebonen and hazbullah)
also if this isnt a full scale attack
look at the picture of the cities and how many building are rubble
what ever Irans motives atleast they are supporting lebonen by giving hazbullah something that can be used to deffend its self from israeli jets and
helicopters.
