It will not work.
Israel cannot afford to let Iran go nuclear. However, Iran IS going nuclear.
Once Iran has a nuclear bomb, it will use it against Israel. Israel cannot absorb a nuclear first strike, so it must stop Iran by force.
When Israel strikes Iran, all of the countries that surround Israel will strike Israel.
Israel cannot afford to fight any kind of protracted war. Israel will have to put a stop to the war against it immediately. It will strike its neighboring countries with a devastating blow. It will use a limited version of its Samson option. It will use nuclear weapons.
The war will probably take place this year. The war will surely take place within the next 18 months.
I believe it is what is known as the Psalm 83 War.
I fear you're right. People forget that despite relative military and economic might, Israel is the size of metropolitan Atlanta. A sustained war is no more practical now than 67 or 73
While I was driving today, I was listening to the news talking to this guy from a website called gasbuddy.com. They supposedly monitor gas prices to tell people where the cheapest ones are.
They guy was saying it was possible that gas prices may go up to possibly $6.50 by summer. However he also said “but that’s NOTHING compared what will happen if Israel attacks Iran.” He gave no estimates, but the way he said it indicated it would be beyond anything we’ve ever feared.
Most of Iran’s neighbors are terrified of Iran getting a nuke. They know Iran will terrorize them. They are praying Israel or the US takes care of the problem. The worst kept secret in the Mideast is that the Saudi’s have given Israel approval to fly through their airspace to bomb Iran.
Also, keep in mind that Iranian military units are in Syria now, helping Assad gas the protestors to death, so they could also be preparing for a direct attack through that route. Isaiah 17 might be the result of something of that nature.
I just explained this to a co-worker this morning. Israel will have to go nuclear to keep Iran from getting the bomb and to keep from being invaded by every other arab country.
Especially since it can count on NO HELP from the US at this time. The US is practically forcing Israel to go nuclear!
