If Iran attacks Israel, look for simultaneous attacks on Tehran and Pyongyang by the U.S, Israel and Japan.

Biggest problem with the concept of Iran attacking Israel - we're right in between in Iraq. The warplanes will disappear in a cloud of debris and any ground attack will be dealt with within hours. Our military is perfect at dealing with opponents in the open.

As for NK - they've got one shot, missiles, and it's about dead even odds that if a lot of them start getting fueled if we can knock them out first. It'd be interesting to see if someone can dig up if there are any Patriot units set up near Japan or Korea right now.

In any case, I seriously doubt that anyone intends to commit national suicide right now. That's the end result in even the most optimistic results of attacks by Iran, NK or China.

I agree with your assessment. China is the wild card. They've gotten themselves in a poker game w/ W and it remains to be seen how far they are willing to take this lame hand. They ain't holding the cards. I say they fold as soon as the IAF takes out Assad.

Bingo. And precisely why we're in Iraq is because we're in the middle of everything that might happen there. It's statergy, damnit.
