Without really caring enough to do the research on it, I've long wondered why Israel puts up with half the crap they do.  Bomb's away!

Of course, like the nagging, desperate for attention old woman, our goverment won't be able to help but get involved.  Our troops would be sent in for one stupid reason or another.

Are we that desperate for to get a "win" under our belts?  It feel's more and more to me that America has played mamma to the world for decades, & now that the world has outgrown us we ARE nothing but an old nagging grey haired woman to them.   :-\

I'm surprised Israel hasn't taken care of the Iranians yet.  I was going for the inherient humor behind the thought.  I'm in kinda a goofy mood tonight.

Did anyone catch the story, this week , of the Air Force making the MOP (Massive Ordinace Penetrator) being fitted to the B2? Even as a bluff, it's an interesting hole card.

 If Israel acts without US approval they risk losing the military aid we give them. Sad to say, due to the whims of congress, but we are the only, more or less, reliable friend Israel has.

In June 2007, Northrop Grumman was awarded a contract to integrate the Boeing massive ordnance penetrator (MOP) weapon on the B-2. The MOP is GPS-guided, contains 2,400kg (5,300lb) of explosive and is designed to penetrate hardened, deeply buried targets. B-2 is capable of carrying two MOP weapons, one in each weapons bay.

Here is a prediction...

If Israel takes on Iran the US will NOT support them in the UN Security Council.  At best, we will abstain from the vote.  At worst we vote against them.

The US Govt. won't support them, but the US people will.
We should make a deal with Al Queda, We'll pull all our troops out of Arabia and Afghanistan if they will PLEASE kill the current administration.
No deal unless they get ALL the appointees, Czars, advisers, Congress and Senate.

OK, I think you're joking Tom (you are, right? ? ? ).

According to the History Channel show that was on this week, Day After Disaster or something like that, there are numerous plans for continuity of the US gummint with unelected bureaucrats as President and cabinet if the real ones are out of action. As with the estate in WV for Congress, it seems that the gummint is real good at taking care of themselves and leaving us poor peons serfs vassals plantation residents taxpayers out in the cold.
