This would inded be a troubling development. If Jordan were to fall to Islamofascists, and with Mubarak in Egypt almost certainly in his last days and what appears to be a huge up to 4-way battle to succeed him there, Israel could in very short order find themselves right back where they were before Camp David.

This may be all the more reason why Israel would believe the time is short and opportunities limited to attack Iran and finish — or at least set back — their nukes. Should they postpone until next spring, it is quite probable that Iran would have deliverable nukes by then, and now it appears that Jordan and Egypt may be destablized enough that they may again become threats to Israel rather than friends — or at least co-existing neighbors...

Actually — 3 Islamic countries recognized Israel, if you count Turkey — but Turkey has become particularly ANTI0Israel in recent months, and I think should hostilities break out between Iran and Israel, Turkey would break relations and actively support Iran... Of course, The Obama Regime might try to do the same here too...

Actually, I’m embarrassed, I also forgot about Egypt. I was thinking just the UAE and Jordan. But you are right, also Turkey. I think though that Jordan is the only one that even acts friendly. Egypt only recognizes Israel due to the 79 treaty. I don’t know all about Turkey’s relationship. I believe the UAE kind of acts as a financial Switzerland between Israel and the other Islamic countries.
