Rumor has it that Egypt is cooperating, and Saudi Arabia has given Israel a Red Sea base from which to launch an attack, and overflight rights over Saudi territory into the Persian Gulf.

THAT is something I would NOT have expected.

THAT is something I would NOT have expected.

Look where Israel is.

Look where Iran is.

See who's in between them?

Israel has a reputation for deadly accurate strikes.

Iran's missiles (SCUDS and the like) are more like a scatter of bottle rockets.

Who would you support?

THAT is something I would NOT have expected.

The Shiite Mullahs are hanging the Sunni political opposition leaders in Iran. Gonna be a big Sunni/Shiite conflict. Israel backs the Sunni's. Russia and China back the Shiites.

Doesn’t suprise me a bit. The Egyptians and Saudis fear Iran more than they hate Isreal.

The arabic states over there are waking up to the realization that Iran not only wants Israel destroyed, but they also want to expand their territory and take over more oil fields as a proxy for Russia. They also know that Israel is the only country over there with any chance of damaging Iran in a way that removes them from being a threat to anyone.
