Defense: On the same day a plot to supply Iran with nuclear materials is revealed, Israel conducts a missile defense test. Nothing concentrates the mind quite so wonderfully as the threat of imminent extinction.
As the New York Daily News reports, among the materials involved were 33,000 pounds of a specialized aluminum alloy used almost exclusively in long-range missile production, 66,000 pounds of tungsten copper plate used in missile guidance systems, and 53,900 pounds of maraging steel rods, a super-hard metal used in uranium enrichment and to make the casings for nuclear bombs.
We have commented on Iran's cooperation with North Korea on missile technology. The pledge by Iran's mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to wipe Israel off the map remains in full force.
Unlike the U.S., Israel is moving full speed ahead on missile defense, and even if Iran's missile threat went away tomorrow, Israel's determination to defend itself would not.

It's painfully obvious our leaders in Washington are gonna leave our friends hanging out to dry.
If the American people ever knew how many times Israeli intelligence has saved our @sses.
Why was the US airborne laser system not funded ? Are We crazy ?
Well, we did elect Obama. Or, at least, somebody elected him. That qualifies as crazy.
Why is the Left so against self-defense? They oppose individuals preparing and acting in self-defense, pointing at the government's responsibility for defending the people. But then they attack the police and attack the military and our defense contractors, who attempt to create a practical self-defense.
Do they hate themselves so much, that they welcome mass death?
Maybe Iran’s using the material for “peaceful purposes”
Of course, remember also that 'Islam is a religion of Peace' as well.....

You have a sense of humor, that’s for sure.
A Look at Iran

If a radi were necessary, “permission from Obama” isn’t what holds the Israelis back.
Because? IF Israel decided it was worth the risk to attack Iran’s nuclear ambitions, exactly how would Obama put AMerican pilots at risk?
You think its easy to shoot down Israeli pilots? I think not. And, I think the stink for Obama would be huge if American pilots were told to attack Israeli planes. And, then “didn’t make it.” Lots of pilots who have tried to “take down” Israeli jets have failed at it.
That, alone, would give Obama more nightmares than what’s going on now, in a life boat that has no fuel. But holds an American hostage.
Every day, Obama gets to see that his media apparatus is no better than a broken teleprompter.
Israel is withholding attacking Iran because it doesn’t make sense to attack iran. Let alone how much grief this now gives ALL the sunnis. Not just the ones under Maliki’s thumb in Irak. But you got it. From Kuwait ta’ Mecca. It doesn’t smell so good.
