I think we're in ageement here. Netanyahu is beholden to the Israeli right, and Abadenijad has definately drunk the Kool-Aid. (The question is whether the Guardian Council who is really in control in Iran have drunk it as well). All I wassaying is that Netanyahu is trying to put pressure on Obama to force him to confront Iran rather than taking a slower diplomatic approach.
FQ13
It would not be the first time the Israeli's have told our Govt. "Either you do something, or WE will." Remember the big rush to get "Patriot" SAMs to Israel, and take out Sadams Scuds ? That was in response to Israeli threats to retaliate for the attacks on them, that would have wrecked Bush's Coalition, The Arab countries would have dropped out and probably would have RESISTED our efforts.
Iran getting Nukes is an even bigger incentive, in fact it was EXACTLY for that reason they bombed the Iraqi facility as Osirak,and the facility in Syria. If BO does not do anything the Israeli's absolutely WILL launch a strike on it, HOW they choose to strike is important. If it's a conventional airstrike, by aircraft (manned or not ) flying in and dropping bombs and missiles, I don't foresee any terrible consequences beyond normal. HOWEVER, if They try a ballistic missile or Nuke I think the whole region would explode.
Unfortunately, Netanyahu has been known to shoot first and worry about getting out later.
