The question of an Israeli air strike on Iran was posed by Fareed Zakaria on his GPS program this past Sunday. If you have not seen his interview show it appears on CNN at 1 p.m. EST every week. Many of his guests are rarely seen on American television.
The topics this past Sunday included a discussion on the possibility of an Israeli air strike on Iran before the next U.S. president takes office. The theory being that neither McCain nor Obama would take kindly to this action during their presidency without a more definitive threat.
Today’s news includes an item from the AP that the U.S. plans to sell 1,000 bunker-buster bombs to Israel. The information reported is too sketchy to draw any conclusions about U.S. or Israeli intentions.
I found this quote on israelinsider.com, “Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran.” Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joseph Biden, quoted by Israel Army Radio Monday Sept. 1, 2008. Is this another signal that Israel will attack Iran before Jan. 20? My opinion is that Israel will attack Iran if the leadership is convinced tha their nation is subject to attack. It’s the Bush Doctrine which is the same as Israel’s Doctrine of Survival. It’s not new there. The first shots in the Six-Day War in 1967 were given by Israel to Egypt. The justification was the marshalling of troops by its Arab neighbors on all borders.
Joe Biden should be prepared to take a stronger stand against Iran for the sake of the United States. Israel would be a first step by Iran. A nuclear Iran would be a threat to a much wider area than Israel. Iran is already receiving help from Russia. What must Obama and Biden be thinking? Will this issue be discussed at the upcoming foreign affairs debate between Obama and McCain? I hope so.

atomic bombs are of little use. America, Russia, England, France, India and Pakistan, North Korea and China all have them, none has ever used them except America in 1945. The obscene fear mongering of Israel and the US over Iran’s uranium enrichment is solely based upon their inability to get the oil and gas that Iran has. Russia nor China will allow the west to attack Iran. The Jews who are in control are so religious, they fear their god so very much that all they can do is spread their fear to the rest of the world. when all you have is fear, it is all you can give. That a lightning bolt of love and compassion may strike the scared souls of the leaders, that they may become rational human beings instead of the fear mongering monsters they are now.
