The IDF is drawing up options for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities that do not include coordination with the United States, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
While its preference is to coordinate with the US, defense officials have said Israel is preparing a wide range of options for such an operation.
"It is always better to coordinate," one top Defense Ministry official explained last week. "But we are also preparing options that do not include coordination."
Israeli officials have said it would be difficult, but not impossible, to launch a strike against Iran without receiving codes from the US Air Force, which controls Iraqi airspace. Israel also asked for the codes in 1991 during the First Gulf War, but the US refused.
"There are a wide range of risks one takes when embarking on such an operation," a top Israeli official said.
Several news reports have claimed recently that US President George W. Bush has refused to give Israel a green light for an attack on Iranian facilities. One such report, published in September in Britain's Guardian newspaper, claimed that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert requested a green light to attack Iran in May but was refused by Bush.

Yeah... we'll see about that.
You don’t need our consent Israel, you are your own soverign country and have the right to protect yourselves. The Iranian madman has been running his mouth long enough and he’s not kidding.
The IDF doesn’t require our consent but if they want it I’ll give it to them.
Iran sees the new fuhrer for what he is: a pussified girly-girl.
The fuhrer’s handlers are very clear: they want Iran and the ME to destroy Israel and complete what the original fuhrer started.
The eminence grice handlers are clearly rooting for Israel’s enemies.

Israel is not our child and needs no consent from us to do what they feel they need to do.

If Israel has any brains they will not share ANY info with the U.S.A. or any other country.
Just do it. Hell with goofs that will only screw things up.
Course you can let the U.S. State Dept. in on things and they will immediately spill the beans. Sort Of like leaky Lehey.

I do not blame Israel. They do not need our permission. We are not sitting dogs just waiting to be taken out. I support whatever they decide they need to do at this point. I do not care if it starts a world war. We already in a world war.
