-- -- -- -- says it is ready to strike Iran Washington's envoy to Israel say the United States -- plans in place to attack Iran if it has to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Is it time for diplomacy running out senator Lindsey Graham joins us Canadian cents.

Good evening I've heard that before I've read different way which is all options are on the table I think the -- -- -- the Defense Secretary said about Iran.

But -- key question to me is how much time do we have.

Not much what is -- them like nobody let me know and -- a big difference that matters.

Well it does if the Iranians believe between now and November are election that this country our country -- when -- strike them.

They think they can take -- strike from Israel and survive they know they can't win a fight with us so the goal for the Obama administration's convince the Iranians.

If you don't stop enriching and come to the table and open up your program for international inspection.

And cease.

Enriching uranium for weapon.

-- for nuclear -- purposes.

That you could be subject to military strike by our nation they will stop until they believe that they will keep enriching uranium they don't fear and Israelis.

All right why don't Americans -- mad at the Israelis say have been rather decisive and I don't know Australia Australia is true -- drive so I think kid Israelis they think that the Israeli Air Force doesn't have the capability to totally neutral answer.

Nuclear programs -- probably right they believe they'll be a backlash in the world against.

Israel they think they can take Israel long militarily and survive they think they'll be a backlash in the Arab world in Europe against his Ralitsa -- has to do this by themselves.

But they know they can't withstand the strike against United States -- -- -- out there.

Please convince the Iranians that all options really are on the table.

Many were suspicious couple months ago when there was a front page story in the New York Times saying that the Israeli and air force could do this alone then of this long sort of explanation about how far the -- could -- could fly have to -- -- -- it started with.

People thought that that was somehow leaked from the administration that in an effort to scare Israel off from acting alone all live you believe that acting.

This administration's had a very bad policy toward this whole they've thrown -- landed in Israel and the -- regarding the Palestinian negotiations.

In leaking the story -- about military capability of Israel doesn't help we should all be focusing on Iran.

Israel's not the problem the Iranians are the problems are the ones who killed Americans in Iraq.

They're the ones that help Hezbollah and Hamas bring terror to the world they're the ones that want to destroy the State of Israel and us we should be focused on this training regime -- and Israel.

I -- two things one is that there's a meeting next week in Baghdad about running with Iran and -- Tuesday in order and trying to decide you know more discussion about stuff I need but we've had those discussions in our we have it's something that all these that are repeated their meetings -- just an effort to buy time for Iran so they can continue to develop what you like about the first question.

How much time do we actually how would.

And these sanctions against Iran have hurt the Iranian regime that they haven't changed their behavior is my view there's still -- bit.

I'm getting a nuclear capability.

That they talk and and rich at the same time.

And the only way they will stop marching toward a nuclear weapon is if they believe the regime's life is at stake.

And their livelihood being at risk and that means -- strike -- the United States.

Here's what we should do we should tell the Iranians no more negotiations stop enriching hoping that that site this in the bottom of the -- has -- a secret site.

Then we'll talk about lifting sanctions you're not don't get to enrich Iranian anymore here.

I I think that I say go fish and I want.

Right now -- -- whether -- this whole issue about whether the military be -- terrorism suspects and captured in US soil without a trial.

No absolutely -- -- war how -- product and not try out well you know you don't trap people in -- you put him and he take them off that for a few -- war.

Yes I believe we're -- it let me get if you pick up an American citizen on our soil and you can hold -- without bond and you can try at life.

Think the players the law you can pick up an American citizen.

And hold them only if there helping al-Qaeda in every American citizen every foreign terrorist caught in the United States.

Will be presented before a federal judge in the government has to prove preponderance of the evidence that your actively involved in assisting al-Qaeda to attack this country.

We don't give enemy prisoners trials we keep them off the battlefield but we're gonna give everybody captured in America.

Their day in federal court when we're not gone from while they get it.

They had I -- right yeah within 120 days most of them go before federal judge Melinda do within thirty days I'm willing to say.

-- everybody captured in the United States citizen or not.

Has to be presented before a federal judge.

And the government has to prove -- helping al-Qaeda in if they can prove that to the federal judge we should hold you as long as it takes to make sure that.

You're no longer a threat and we know which you know we're not fighting a -- we're fighting a war in it bin Laden were caught in the United States.

I think most Americans would be offended with this legislation being proposed congressman Smith.

That you have to take in every terrorist caught in the United States given the federal court trial on ravens -- rights.

These are terrorists are trying to kill us they're not common criminals and last thing that there should hear tranda.

-- America's you've got the right to remains out -- -- -- -- thank you sir thank you.
