I posted the main story last for a reason. This new nuclear site is a game changer in my opinion. It only accelerates and agitates the process, and time is not on our side here.
And then there was the speech. Netanyahu’s speech at the UN was the exact opposite of Gaddafy’s, meaning it was compelling and heart wrenching, and it was also an indicator of what could be next for Israel. Israel has made clear, time and time again, that Iran with a nuclear bomb is a threat to the existence of Israel and unacceptable.
That says to me that they plan on eventually attacking Iran and destroying their ability to manufacture a nuclear bomb. Israel did this with Iraq and Syria, so logic being, Iran is next. When this happens is anyone’s guess. Either way, Israel will not allow any threats to it’s existence, and will act accordingly.
The question I have with this, is what would the US reaction be if Israel tries to fly over Iraq to attack Iran? Or what would be the military reaction of Iran and how would that impact our mission in Iraq or Afghanistan? Interesting and scary stuff. –Matt
