UN sanctions and resolutions serve the purpose of marking the failure point of diplomacy.

Israel has a pretty easy choice. I can launch an all out attack, with ground forces if necessary, in order to completely obliterate Irans nuke work, or it can find itself on fire one morning with a few thousand survivors...unable to retaliate. Gee, I wonder what Golda or Ben would have done?
One things for sure. With the Obamasiah in the White House there will be no American retaliation against Iran should it launch nukes against Israel. Barry Hussein will simply say that “this is not the Iran I have known, etc, etc.”

Shut up and do it already.

Unless they get it done before the end of this month, I live...too close.

But Iran's got it coming.
