Israel's long-anticipated attack on Iran's nuclear program may come as soon as Friday. Yesterday, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said Israel had eight days to strike Iran's nuclear facility at Bushehr before it would become operational. He revised the timeline to three days after word came that nuclear fuel would begin loading on Friday. We're now down to two days and counting....
It's doubtful America will take action. The State Department's response to the latest IAEA report on Iranian enrichment violations merely said, "We are hopeful that Iran will express a willingness to come to the table. We stand ready to have that dialogue." Not exactly the kind of rhetoric that instills fear of consequences.
Israel is the only country likely to mount a military strike, and the Bushehr site is an exposed facility that could be taken out with conventional weapons. It's located on Iran's west coast, less than a third of a mile from the shore; air forces would not have to spend much time overflying Iran to attack it. The plant also could be hit using sea-launched cruise missiles from Israeli submarines. With an effective range of at least 900 miles, the subs wouldn't have to transit the Strait of Hormuz to mount the attack.

Don’t hit the nukes. Hit the regime’s nerve centers. Carry out a daring daylight raid and catch them in their offices. The Iranian people will take it from there. Then you can police up the nukes with their help.
Go Israel, can’t wait for the fireworks and then all the outrage by yours and our enemies.....including Obama.
To all here: What do you think the ramifications will be if Israel hits Iran?

Well Hillary and your minions, stock up on your diapers, because you babies may find out that Isreal is about to do what the wusses in the - has been United States - refuses to do.
“We are hopeful that Iran will express a willingness”
What utter drivel!

It is about time Iran gets their just desserts. It is to bad Obongo will probably condemn Israel defending itself from terrorism.
IT’s NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That quote so clearly expresses the fecklessness of this administration.
I said “IF” they hit Iran.
A Look at Iran

Sorry to say but this is one argument i do agree with Obama on. We missed our chance to take it out while the program was in it’s infancy. Now because we waited and stalled, the Russians are knee deep in those facilities with scientist and engineers. WHO DARES WINS!
Strategically, I can’t imagine why Israel waited this long if they wanted to hit that reactor before it goes online. With only very few days left, the Iranians will be ready for an attack. Why didn’t they go after it two months ago when they didn’t ‘have’ to?
That tells me, they probably aren’t going to attack it.
Well, I thought this would be happening in April. Silly me.
GOD BLESS ISRAEL AND ALL WHO PROTECT AND DEFEND HER.
Get ‘em, Judah.
I wish they’d get on with it.
If it happens, likely Iran will close the Straits of Hormuz, so no oil from the Persian Gulf. Do not plan any long car trips.
The subs are Plan A. Obama wants Iran to get Nukes it seems. Maybe he sees it as a counter to his perception of the Jewish threat.
The filthy muzzies and their 5th column here in the states will come out of hiding.
Makes 'em easier to target.
Despite the chorus of cheerleaders in this thread, not going to happen.
