Israel May Attack Iran

Senior Pentagon officials are concerned that Israel could carry out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities before the end of the year, an action that would have enormous security and economic repercussions for the United States and the rest of the world.

A senior defense official told ABC News there is an "increasing likelihood" that Israel will carry out such an attack, a move that likely would prompt Iranian retaliation against, not just Israel, but against the United States as well.

The official identified two "red lines" that could trigger an Israeli offensive. The first is tied to when Iran's Natanz nuclear facility produces enough highly enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon. According to the latest U.S. and Israeli intelligence assessments, that is likely to happen sometime in 2009, and could happen by the end of this year.

You know what?  Let them.  If we have absolutely nothing to do with the attack, and Iran attacks us, slaughter them by the thousands.  No invasion, no reconstruction, no help what so ever.

We’ve tried the diplomatic route, and all we’ve gotten is a big “fuck you” from everyone except a few European nations (which is surprising to say the least).

When Iran finds out that Israel’s not fucking around, they’ll back down.  If we have nothing to do with the attack, we have plausible deniability.  If Iran then decides to strike at us, the gloves come off.  Simply put, Iran’s nuclear program needs to go, and sooner or later, if no one gets anything done, you all know Israel will decide to take action.
