Israel better not wait for the US on this one. While we are their greatest ally and would nod doubt come to their defense, Israel can't afford a first strik from Iran. They can't wait for our footdragging. Our left and our MSM will not approve a preemptive action no our part.
If I lived in Israel I would expect my government to take action before the nukes fly.
Jimmy Carter did this to us. I know the Shah had plenty of detractors here and abroad, but my God, he would be dead by now and perhaps one of his son would have followed in the path of Jordan.
The ones to blame right now are all of those who have been undermining our success--Dems, MSM and Joe Wilson come to mind. If they cannot see how this fanatic is feeding off of them, I hope at least one of them survives what happens so they can see what "Hate Bush" got us.
I have not been this alarmed since I was in the 2nd grade during the Cuban Missle Crisis. That fear, nuclear annihilation, stayed with me well into my teens.
It seems Bush is between a rock and a hard place.....
1. Rock: Pre-emptive attack against Iran and live with the consequences home and in the Middle East
or
2. Hard place: Wait until the nukes fall to respond.
For most of us, it is a no-brainer. The rock is mightier than the hard place. On this, I do trust the President to do the right thing.
Israel cannot wait to get hit first - they would be wiped up in one strike - and if they were - wanna bet on how many EU countries would join in the battle - I wouldn't want my neck to depend on it
