I believe the only reason there is talk about the U.S. joining in with Israel in a strike on Iran is for the purpose of becoming the dominant partner in such a strike in order to LIMIT and INHIBIT the overall scope of such an attack, i.e., 0bama has no desire to see Iran’s nuclear program neutered, nor to see their military-industrial complex decimated, ditto so far as their leadership-command structure is concerned.
What 0bama and his crew of clowns have calculated is that if they were to opt out of an Israeli strike on Iran, they would be unable to influence the outcome, beyond possibly giving Iran an under the table ‘heads up’ that an attack was underway. Once Israel begins such an attack, nobody is going to tell them to stop until they determine that their military objectives have been met.
With U.S. participation, 0bama is hoping to be able to call the shots which means that any attack will just be a limp dick effort which will do nothing except to provoke international outrage against ISRAEL, which is what our illegal regime of thugs in Washington wants more than anything else, the end game THEN becomes “let’s take this all to the U.N.” where we can be sure the deck is already totally stacked against Israel.
My theory, anyway.
I agree with your theory.... Dead on accurate.
You theory in post #12, unfortunately, makes sense.
