If Israel and Lebanon go to full scale war, will US troops help Israel?

Question

Will this also be the excuse Bush needs to invade Syria and Iran?

Answer 1

Israel can take care of themselves....Hell they beat syria, lebanon, jordan and egypt before.

Answer 2

The US will not risk direct involvement. It's a political hot potato in this country. However , that being said , covert assistance is not out of the question . The US will be there if nothing else to Reign in Israel. Cultural differences leave us ill equipped to deal with Iran and Syria. In other words what i call the "Custer Dilemma". We should really let our allies in the region deal with them as they are more equipped both culturally and politically to handle this. Frankly, the current administration has scored enough political points. It's time to rejoin and become a mature responsible member of the UN. We definitely have the military might. We do not however have the Military right. Afghanistan was right on the money after 9/11. Iraq, was just political show and sadly, is the manifestation of politicians egos. Anything else is just irresponsible. I do have family serving over there for my country . I strongly support the troops who must follow their orders

Answer 3

Yes, but i think its a damn good excuse becasue i believe that Iran is pulling the strings behind the Israel Lebanon Conflict. I mean what better way to get people to forget about yourr nuclear program right?

Answer 4

If you are a history buff, you will find out that there were 3 countries attacked Israel simultaneously, back in the 70's... they didn't need any help then,, don't think they will now... they defeated those armies more than once.. one of those wars was call the 7 day war.

Answer 5

i think the united states needs help Israel but Israel can handle themselves they have a power full military and lets not forget they have nukes to u don't wanna piss of Israel even though they are a small fish with a bunch of big fishes that wanna eat them. they can kick some a s s. they can blow iran and syria to kingdom com and still have room for the rest.

Answer 6

U.S. press coverage of Israeli attacks on the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian towns on the West Bank often treat the U.S. government as either an innocent bystander or an honest broker in the current conflict, often without giving a full sense of the importance of the United States role as a supplier of arms, aid, and military technology to Israel. they don't need to send troops they already sent guns and bombs and fighter jets and helicopters and torture equipment such as electro stun batons [cattle prods]

Answer 7

Excuse? Bush did not need an "Excuse" to start war with Iraq, the Democrats voted overwhelmingly to support declaration of war. Kerry says he was deceived, but he was on the intelligence comity, and his attendance was horrible (too many bot ox appointments). Many Liberals think if an Ally of the U.S. goes to war we should turn our backs and wait to see who wins. The Democrats voted in support of Bush but changed their minds when they found out it was not going to be easy.

Answer 9

Arab nations have no nukes. Israel is a 20:1 favorite to win.

Answer 10

if they go to full scale war the US will help Isreal in some way or another. the sitution is changing so fast its hard to tell. hopefully we will not send our own troops to Isreal cause that would be a mess....we will probably send some money or some bombs i guess.
