The stick Obama holds over Israel would be to cut off U.S. aid. If that happened Israel wouldn't have much to lose in waging a war of depopulation and expansion against its hostile neighbors.

Very true. I just can't see Israel caving to US pressure this time. You can't watch or read the news these days without hearing the crazies in Iran calling for their annihilation. The nuke threat has got to be taken seriously.

My money is on them doing whatever it takes. With or without our help or support.

On an irrelevant note...I've always been a fan of the F-22. I was stationed at Langley AFB when the first operational unit arrived. They're pretty impressive aircraft.

I believe Israel found a huge oil reserve about six months or so ago. That will bring in plenty of money.
