The one thing the US will do is to make sure that Israel is not attacking when the US is attacking. That would make the US mission more difficult, and put US lives at risk. The US won't stand for it. It is all a fantasy by a guy that doesn't know what he is talking about, IMO.

Well, we'll see soon enough.

What are we going to do about it? Stamp our feet? All of our available troops will be involved in Iraq. During the 8 days it would take Israel to finish the job, no non-military intervention could have an effect.

Do you seriously suggest that the US would exterminate the Jewish state with nuclear weapons? After the Palestinian state no longer exists, people will cry crocodile tears, but will not risk anything for a people who are no longer in existence.

That is wrong. But keep on repeating it.

It is quite likely, VERY important that our enemies fully believe we cannot attack at the same time a conflict continues in Israel... or in its proximity.
