Bombs Away!
1000 bunker-busters will soon be on their way to Tehran via various air-fields in Israel. Looks like the IDF is going to launch that solo attack on Iran after all.
Taking a stand frightens the dickens out the Chosen One. I doubt he and his advisers are ready to contemplate the consequences of dropping several hundred of these devices into downtown Tehran. But that's precisely what we're talking about. Obama's left-wing constituency will shriek at the thought, as will Obama's buddies around the world. Israel will give the US a chance to talk Iran off the ledge and then attack. Hell to pay from that point forward.
What impact will the sale have on the US election? Hard to say. Republicans want to make national security an issue. Victory in Iraq is not just possible, but necessary; and in many ways the last thing Americans want is war with Iran.
McCain-Palin understand,however, we don't always get what we want. Iran is counting on the anti-war left to constrain Bush from exercising his Presidential responsibility to protect US troops in Iraq; and US allies in the Middle East.
A nuclear Iran is unacceptable to nearly every right-thinking individual and government on the planet. Israel certainly isn't about to stand still while Iran pursues a bomb and there's little chance the bunker-busters are intended for some dry-run show of force. Barring a complete end to all Iran's nuclear preparations, Israel is going to attack.
Right before or right after the US election.
Your call.
