"Iran gets the bomb."
Unless Israel acts.
How?
Which Middle East enemies will Israel be able to overfly to deliver an attack?
On 2nd thought, lets assume they get a pass flying to Iran since most of Iran's neighbors
wouldn't mind having Iran's nuke program whacked.
But the return trip home would also have to overfly enemies.
Bet those enemies would then try to take out Israels aircraft.
A face saving gesture on their part.
Your thoughts?
"Unless Israel acts"
Regardless of whether Israel acts or not.
Israel is too far away and doesn't have the capacity to block Iran from getting the bomb. Only America does, and America does not have the political will to do it.
Bush goes to Congress and asks for a use of force resolution. Democrats filibuster in the Senate. No use of force.
