John Bolton: Israel Must Strike Iran NOW

via: Reaganite Republican

Iran Will Have Nukes Before the
United Nations or Obama Do Anything About It

Bolton said an Israeli military option "isn't there forever. ... If Israel is going to use military force, it needs to use it sooner rather than later."... "Since I don't see any possibility that the Obama administration will use military force, I think what that means – to cut to the chase – is this comes down to a decision by Israel whether or not it will use military force against Iran's program."

 

Israel Would Wipe the Floor with Iran... Nukes or Not

The only hope for peace was a strong, timely, and principled stand against Iran's rogue atomic weapons programs... with Obama, obviously that didn't happen.  Rather, his weakness, foolish appeasement efforts, and thinly-veiled contempt for the Jewish state are instead inviting attacks from Iranian allies and proxies, as witnessed in last week's "peace boat" stunt. Israel is one of the only true friends America ever had... sadly, this is being cast aside flippantly by the most disgruntled and radical president in US history, one who shamefully spent 20 yrs sitting in an anti-Semitic church. Alas, Obama has all but acquiesced to an Iranian bomb... but Israel has not -and will not- ever.

If Dear Leader chooses to abandon them more comprehensively should Israel bomb Iran, not replenishing planes and weapons spent in any Israeli attack on Iran would be one way to do it... this would make an IDF move against Iran -in defiance of Obama- all the more risky, challenge being Jerusalem would likely face a subsequent all-out war vs Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas.  If it didn't go as well as '68 and '73, they could run into supply problems if the US withdrew support while the IDF were facing thousands of missiles raining-down from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Regardless, in most any nuclear or conventional scenario, all-out war looks like a real bad bet for Tehran... they have almost no chance of defeating Israel in an expanded conflict, if the Iranians would even fight hard for the widely-reviled regime. And unlike recent tepid IDF campaigns -i.e. Lebanon 2006- Israel would fight this one to win... and win BIG. Tehran would have to be nuts to want this fight... but unfortunately for all of us, they are just that.

Scary and this was all foreseeable before the election and yet everyone (on the left) is shocked that it's coming to this.
The Israelis have quietly gone to the highest level of war preparations they have ever had. Also, they have been doing massive military manuevers and for the first time, they are doing nation wide bomb drills. The Isrealis have severed all but low level information with American intelligence agencies. While openly opposed, the Saudis, Egypt, Kuwait and Jordan are far more supportive of military intervention on Iran than most of you think. This is because Iran made their goal of regional control of the Middle East clear. Allowing Israel to "take care" of Iran gives Sunni Arab countries plausible deniability regarding any support given to an Israeli intervention. I expect that Israel will strike Iran sometime between July and October and they will attack all suspected nuclear sites and Iran's oil infrastructure. This will accomplish 2 goals, cutting off the money supply that Iran would use to rebuild nuclear infrastructure, and causing a spike in oil prices to try and impact the November midterm elections. The Israelis know that Fuel price spikes before US elections turns sentiment against incumbents and our incumbents are now strongly anti-Isreal.
I believe that this attack will be swift and very violent.
