Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - US officials: Israeli attack on Iran requires 100 planes

Why do the Israelis need to do anything other than mount some sort of highly visible strike? The Israelis know if they can get the Iranians to fire on US forces as proclaimed, America will go in and do the real job for them. At that point Zero can claim "self defense, surely a regime which would attack US forces unprovoked can't be allowed nukes", even the Libs can't say a thing, and he rides this "tough guy who got UBL and defended us from Iran vibe" all the way to re-election.

The Israelis are very good at looking out for the Israelis, A populist like Obama is emminently predictable, The rub of course is any US servicemen caught in Iranian attacks who pay the price for political expediency.

Frankly, "Alf" over in Iran wants this outcome too, his goal is to stay in power. He knows if he "chirps" too much he will share Saddam's fate. He should be quite willing to give up nuclear power for longevity. Eventually democratic opposition movements in Iran may force him out if left to flourish. What "Alf" needs is a unifying external threat to focus Iranian attention on for the next decade.

So my jaded $.02 all the players involved want the US to take out these sites.
