Is Israel about to strike Iran ?

[1776 Rebel]

Israel understands quite well the risk of Iran developing a nuke. They also have the spine to do something about it. Finally with Bebe as the PM they have the guy willing to issue the order and not crap his pants.

The question I have is, what will the young boy we have as leader do? I suspect that Bebe understands the boy king is way over his head. That when confronted with a real crisis he will freeze and flounder. They will take advantage of that and their strike againist Iran will be over before the boy king has made up his mind.

I wouldn't be surprised to see not only airstrikes but Israeli boots on the ground. There were some reports that when they bombed the Syrian reactor last year they put spec ops on the ground first and captured Koreans and other internationals and are holding and interrogating them.

Hey something else to put on the list of worries for the remainder of the year.

1) Sh!t himself
2) Either before or after if they do a manned mission, However that's a lot of hostile territory to cover, when they hit Entebbe they made most of the flight over international waters and into primitively monitored air space, to hit Iran they have to cross either Syria or Jordan (I'd bet on Jordan) and then Iraq, while they would most likely not be fired on over Iraq they would definitely be spotted by AWACS or other radar and the resulting radio chatter could easily compromise the mission before it ever got to Iranian airspace.

I agree about the chatter, but I still think the attack will catch Iran off guard.  Instead of gathering in the streets to burn the stars and stripes; they'll be screaming in the streets, and falling on their asses, because they all have shit running down their legs!  Allah that, sand punks!

The United Nations, post attack, will "be really, really, mad" than they will write a letter to BeBe telling the Israeli's the UN is really mad.

Than the World will take the Iranian casualties and show staged women and children that were killed, (just like when Israel kicked some Hamas butt last year.)

The Iranians will stage to the world media, and they (the media) will fall for it. NPR will call the attacks unprovoked and CNN, BBC, pick one, will blame Israel, forgetting what the Pres. of Iran said about wiping Israel off the map...

Meanwhile, BHO will get on the batphone to Bebe, and request no more attacks. Take the UN line, and say "There needs to be a diplomatic solution". He may even put the Hilldabeast on duty.

We already are pledging ninety something million dollars of American $$$ for Palestine, hoping the UN can supervise that none fall into Hamas's hands.....(Yeah right)....

Than Iran will call on Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and other muslim countries to wage "another" jihad against Israel.

It may get real bad, real quick and Israel has the testicular fortitude to not back down and start kicking more ass.

Israel took a chapter from Grant's attitude toward war:

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving.
Ulysses S. Grant (1822 - 1885)

We'll see.....The Israeli's have done this type of thing before....

The logistics of getting there will be a problem.  Just from the time element of it. 

Not to worry, all part of the plan.  These things must necessarily come to pass........

Actually the logistics , other than route will not be that big a problem . Israel did pretty much the same thing into Iraq when they bombed the Osirak facility. The only question will be where they meet up with the inflight refuelers.
 
TW, I'm going to comment on your post in peices,
"The United Nations, post attack, will "be really, really, mad" than they will write a letter to BeBe telling the Israeli's the UN is really mad.

But all the complaining, whining, and bitching will not put Humpty nuke plant together again.

"Than Iran will call on Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and other muslim countries to wage "another" jihad against Israel."
Israel beat the entire Arab world in 6 days using WW II era equipment and then modern aircraft, Today, Egypt Jordan and Iraq are out of the fight, that leaves only Syria (who still pretty much control Lebanon through influence)and Iran which controls Hezbollah because that was the only way for them to have a presence in the area. Jordan not only will not participate, they will not allow PLO , Iranian, or Syrian troops to stage through their terretory, they hate those regimes more than they have ever hated the Jews. On top of that none of the arab countries have nukes, Israel does and will absolutely use them if it looked like they were going to lose a conventional war against invaders.

"It may get real bad, real quick and Israel has the testicular fortitude to not back down and start kicking more ass."
Some body has to show that the GOOD GUYs can have balls too. those a$$holes in Washington will try to talk the missles out of the sky.

Two things rarely mentioned about Israels arsenal...They have submarines and they have ICBMs (remember they have launched spy satellites into orbit). I wouldn't put cruise missles launched from sub platforms out of the equation nor a strategic missle strike. I am not even going to mention (but I will ) the possibility of an EMP strike with a tactical nuke. The Israeli's are a very creative lot and I put nothing past them when it comes to their very survival.

Is Israel about to strike Iran ?

Yes.

EMP...hadn't crossed my mind.  That would put a fair amount of mid-east oil out-of-commission.  I wish I had money to play in the commodities market.

In regards to Israel's arsenal, they have all we have, and stuff the Krav Maga makes, and weaponry we wish we had.

Remember the original Desert Eagle .50?

The Israeli's (politics make strange bedfellows), have been a pit bull, held back to a point with American Middle Eastern Politics.

They drop leaflets, have an outstanding intelligence dept, and limit civilian casualties right up to the point when the Hamas types shoot at Israeli troops from old folk homes, and heavily populated apts. that are not allowed to evacuate the women and children.

Than when they are struck, they cart out the dead and wounded women and children, and play the world media which of course falls for it.

They have NUKES, thanks to the US, and BHO better get some real advice, from someone other than Hillary about dealing with a nuclear Iran.

Israel is the pit-bull over there, and when repeatedly threatened and rocketed, etc,.. etc,..

They will unleash with American Fighter Aircraft, and awesome pilots.

America made sure Israel would have Air Superiority in the region,  and they do, and are NOT afraid to get some bunker busters to Iran's nuke tech.
