This post is the first that I have read that gives me a clear understanding of what was transpiring on the ground. I find it hard to believe that Israel will just let Iran get the bomb and take their chances - but it is a big step. I don't think Obama will give them any help or encouragement. In one way Obama's election just makes it clearer to Israel that they are not going to get much help from the US. Given that bogus NIE and Bush's lack of political capital toward the end of his administration Israel wasn't going to get any help from him either. All hell will break lose if Israel attacks Iran, but I don't know if they have any choice.lgudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774491337993415578noreply@blogger.com
