So when will Israel attack Iran? Clock is ticking.....

[Little-Acorn]

We all know how Iran has been repeating over and over, that it wants to obliterate Israel, push them into the sea, "remove them from the map" and so forth.... and working overtime to develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems that will reach as far as there.

Israel, of course, would be foolish to ignore such a combination of words and actions. And now we know, who will be in the Oval Office after January 20, 2009.

The current occupant of the Oval Office, is much more likely to support Israel even if it makes an aggressive move to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities (as it did against Iraq twenty-something years ago), than the next occupant. And Israel cannot possibly win, without massive support from the U.S.

So, the conclusion is obvious, and inevitable: Israel must attack Iran, and soon, or else look forward to later (possibly nuclear) annihilation. Their chances of avoiding mass destruction, are much greater if they do it while George Bush is still in the White House, with time to help out.

Joe Biden recently announced there would be a foreign crisis if Obama is elected. Well, he has been, and I see this one as pretty likely.

So, how soon will Israel launch planes with conventional ground-penetrating bunker-busters, following up with special forces on a near-suicide mission to make sure the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities is complete... while they still can?

Yep..in the first 6 mos. right?

Exactly what I was thinking when I started reading your post.

Mmm hmm. Except Israel has urgent reasons to kick it off much sooner than that... like maybe next week. The more they can do while Bush is still in office, the more likely they are to succeed, and avoid being annihilated later.

The testing of Obama, will be in cleanup and fence-mending. An immediate atack by Israel can actually work to the advantage of US and Israel's cooperative interests. After January 20, Obama can say, "Hey, it didn't happen on my watch, I never would have allowed it, I was not consulted, and I assure you the US now has NO intention of supporting a subsequent strike."

But the damage will be done, Iran's nuke program will have gone the way of Iraq's, and Israel will have bought another decade or two of life.

A win-win all around.

Biggest problem is, I don't know if Israel has aircraft that have (a) capacity to carry the necessary bunker-busters, and (b) range to get from Israel to Iran and back.

But, lemme think here, I believe one of their allies does..... hmmm......

Good point.

As far as range..they do have an ally in Iraq that I'm SURE will provide aerial re-fueling.

The Isralies may just wait and see how good this black president is at peace negotiations.

[namvet]

The Israelis put their national securiy in NO man's hand. period

Uh-huh. And the first sign that maybe he's not so good at it, may be a very bright flash over Tel Aviv and a few other such places.

Yep, I'm sure Israel is willing to wait for that.

(Not!)

Iran may not be as quick to the draw as you think.

[namvet]

the Israelis are counting on it

[Little-Acorn]

Do you have any particular reason for believing, that Israel would have enough advance warning of an Iranian nuclear strike, to do anything about it? (Do what?)

Israel would be VERY grateful to know how to predict this.

You didn't by any chance make it up out of thin air, now did you?

Only a lib would wait for a promised attack, and then they'd say: lets talk...IDIOT!

[theHawk]

No doubt Obama will jump at the chance of an Iran-Israel conflict to try to prove to the world he is actually qualified to be Commander-in-chief.

I agree with you on a number of topics, but I find your prejudices blind me to your reasonable positions. I'm hardly a pc person, but I do find offensive the religion/race based posts.

Feel free to do what you wish, it's my opinion though. You seem too smart, experienced to be such a small person.
