Interests or national security? and How?
Tell me how Israel bombing Iraq’s reactor in 81, while we were supporting Saddam as a surrogate for us against Iran, was in our interests?
Israel destroyed a nuclear reactor, which made Desert Storm a relatively small exercise as opposed to war with a nuclear ME country. That was in our best interests.
Israel does not have the military capability to do the job against Iran right by completely eliminating their airfields, surface to air weapons capabilities and nuclear facilities, thus making our allies and our troops stationed in the region a target of attack by Iran (and they will attack Europe first, have no question about that). Israel will also need to utilize Iraqi airspace and allied force rescue and refueling support to complete their mission, which would directly affect the U.S. and our allies in theater.
We won’t even discuss the unrest that this will cause the region. The shutting down of shipping lanes, the disasterous affects to our economy and the world’s economy.
If Iran is to be dealt with it has to be done by the US and GB (and perhaps Australia). Israel has to sit it out.
Why you don’t see that is beyond me.
