Arrest their Commander In Chief?
Obama would order a neutral sounding tactic such as a complete no-fly zone that would hamper Israel’s efforts at self-defense. And win another Nobel for it.
Transgressions by Iran would be ignored. Israel would eventually have to break the no-fly zone, too. Obama would then order the shoot-down of Israeli planes.
The short term pieces after that are fuzzy, but the end game is WWIII.
And no, Israel no longer has any choice but to go down this road...
If it were after Obama is gone, I am 100% certain that we would aid Israel no matter what it took. If it’s before Obama is gone, I figure Iran would be defended no matter what. That is what I take from the ideology of Obama. Bend over, bow down, concede, and comfort our enemies, and never do 1 single thing in the interest of America. This man is NOT one of us.
On orders from their Commander In Chief: THEY WOULD DO NOTHING!
We will supply the Israelis with everything they need in terms of logistics and intelligence. We will not be involved militarily. We have no mutual defense pact with Israel.
What would the US do? That depends on whether or not there’s a Kenyan Jew-hater in the White House at the time.
With Obama in the White House?
They’d watch it on CSPAN between games of ping pong.
Here is the tactical problem:
Iran is well aware of Israel’s (rightful) intentions and America’s weapons, and have up-armored every critical process in their nuclear weapons program.
Tunneling is something that Iran has always done better than any country in the world, throughout history, it’s an engineering fact.
Israel’s goal is to attack, not to necessarily succeed. A show of strength at a minimum.
America has a different challenge, we cannot participate in an attack that doesn’t win. If our bunker-busters don’t work, we lose the credibility of that weapon system.
The world will then know that anyone, N Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Myanmar, Pakistan, etc can hide evil underground.
Our military planners doubt the bunker-busters will work.
De-mystifying ground penetration bombs ends their diplomatic and strategic use.
OK, everyone will know how deep to dig.
And...Iran will learn from any failed attack that it cannot be stopped by Israel or America. They will bray like a pack of mules at the world...and be believed.
I believe that Iran wants to be attacked.
Our unceasing since Poppy Bush being in Israel's business as far as them trying to deal with their own terrorist threats has done Israel great harm and U.S. no good. Our Schmucks in DC need to learn a valuable history lesson. The ONE who watches over Israel never slumbers and I don't mean Obama. We do her harm at the very risk of our acquired blessing as a nation.
