Israel’s Worst Fears Its U.S. ambassador says the big threat is that Iran has almost enough fuel for its first nuclear weapon. NEWSWEEK Jan 12, 2009 Sallai Meridor has been Israel's ambassador to the United States since 2006. During that time, his government's main strategic worry has been Iran, and that remains so today despite the fighting in Gaza. Israel warns that Iran is making rapid progress toward a nuclear bomb—Meridor calculates that Tehran should have enough fuel for its first bomb sometime in 2009—and that Israel will take military action unless the United States and other allies step in.

A look at Iran
http://www.truthusa.com/IRAN.html
Due to Israel’s small geographic size, it alomost has no choice but to strike at Iran before they get a bomb. They also have to take iran at their word, when it comes to the threats they’ve made against Israel. Their survival as a nation depends on somebody neutralizing Iran using something other than words.
My confidence in anything 0bama doing for the good of the
United States is lower than snail snott. We are in the calm
before the storm, folks.
Problem is Israel cannot just take out Iran’s nuclear capability. They will also have to take out Syria, Lebanon as well as Gaza.
People say how the Israelis would need U.S. permission to fly over Iraq. I wonder if they wouldn’t just call up Centcom and say “We’re headed over Iraq. Y’all go ahead and shoot at us if you want to, just wanted to let you know that those blips on your radar are IAF.”
We have tough times ahead but we are STRONG.
Thank God for our Military. They are the finest!
Once again: Iraq is a sovereign nation who - in 2007 - was in chaotic security and political turmoil. There was NO WAY they’d let Israeli warplanes into their airspace. Good grief. George W. Bush had no unilateral authority to force that issue.

As long as Centcom didn’t let 0bama know so he couldn’t warn Iran.
“We are in the calm before the storm, folks.”
I’m afraid you are right.
And bozo Bush would not even laon a couple bunker busters. Bush is looking worse than Carter.
“Thank God for our Military. They are the finest!”
For now. Remember, Odumbo is on record saying he wants to pretty much eviscerate our military.

Hey, I like your “Odumbo”. I’ll borrow it now and then if you don’t mind.
Unless they’ve made some huge strides in the last few weeks that I don’t know about, Iraq is dependent on the U.S. military for air defense. They do not have the capability on their own to do anything about an Israeli flyover.
Bush is a real bozo. Right on buddy boy.
That's irrelevant.
I’d say it’s the most relevant thing of all. It’s one thing for the Iraqis to say “no”. It’s quite another for them to enforce it.
