Israel is prepping the diplomatic battlefield for two options:
1. A full strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, and
2. A ground invasion of southern Lebanon to finally destroy Hezbollah.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israel's defense minister accused Iran and Syria on Friday of masterminding a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that wounded 20 people and said the militant group believed responsible would be targeted in raids. A Syrian official denied involvement. ADVERTISEMENT
Islamic Jihad, which is backed by Syria and Iran, claimed responsibility for bombing a fast-food restaurant Thursday. The Palestinian attacker, who witnesses said posed as a peddler selling disposable razors, walked into the restaurant and blew himself up even though most customers were sitting outside at sidewalk tables, police said.
The explosion wrecked "The Mayor's Shwarma," a restaurant specializing in grilled meat sandwiches. It is located in a rundown area of downtown Tel Aviv that has been hit repeatedly by Palestinian attackers.
After a late-night meeting with security officials, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said early Friday: "We have definitive proof that the financing of the terror attack ... came directly from Iran, while the planning was carried out in Syria."
He said the findings would be shared with American and European officials.
Faisal Sayegh, the director of Syria's state-run broadcast media, said Syria had "nothing to do with the operation."
And now it really begins.
Plan on this, Iran is gonna have more galss made available to in, right in newly discovered surface deposits. Lots of broken concrete around it as well.
And the UN s STILL sitting on their hands doing NOTHING

Just like that ground invasion of Southern Lebanon in '82 to get rid of the Palestinian guerrillas. Wait a second...
This is getting uglier by the day.
I dont understand...If what Israel has is real, then Iran has PLANNED an Executed ATTACK on their Country. Israeli Planes should be over Tehran right now.
Time of their choosing...time of *their* choosing.
Expecting the UN to do anything but protest against the USA and Israel is not logical.
Ah nuts.
Well, if we let Isreal take Syria, we could then bomb Iran. If/when Iran has nukes, then all bets are off.
And you were expecting... ???
The Iraqi government wouldn't like the overflight. That and it would give the EU an excuse to put sanctions on Israel. I expect that old Pat Buchanan will soon be saying that this is just a neo con ploy.

Definitive proof they'll provide to American and European officials. They mean business.
I don't know about Iran, but it's clear the Syrian govt is not long for this world. Financing, the Iranians can explain away---misappropriated funds, diverted funds, whatever. But planning, the Syrians cannot explain away. Definitive proof of Syrian planning, that's all they need.
The only remaining question is the firmness of the Israeli govt. If they don't find a leader and a voice they are likely to wind up with a uniform and a boot in charge of things. Sharon picked a bad time to get old.
Binyamin Netanyahu and someone from the Kadima are going to come *foreward* in unison againts Syria...within 3 days. There are more than enough qualified * diplomats * in Israel... ;)
I had NOT heard this! Thanks for the ping. Does Iran WANT a war?
The SOTU address will be must-see tv this year I believe. I certainly hope we get some indications from the President as to what to start expecting.

Unfortnately, more and more, I am afraid it is not logical to exect the US to sit on their hands and do nothing--or maybe demand more concessions from Israel so there can be "peace and safety"
