I can't imagine the discussions going on behind the scenes between the Iraelis and the US. How the hell did we let the Iranians get so far? This program should have been stopped under the Bush Administration.
Yeah, I am really shocked the Mossad (Israeli CIA) has allowed them to get this far especially given the harsh rhetoric from the Iranians on what they feel is their duty to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
The word is that the Saudis (who fear Iran as much as the Israelis) have allowed the Israelis to create a forward airbase on Saudi soil. I'm sure we greased the skids on that one so we don't have to push Jordan and Iraq to open their airspace.
wait, I thought the UN was on the job here? Aren't there something like 4 sets of sanctions stemming from 2006 about this reactor? Why are we involved at all? I thought that between the President's "negotiations" since 2009 (talked about since his candidacy in 2007) and the 4 sets of UN Sanctions, this thing would've been cleared up completely. http://www.nytimes.com/info/iran-nuclear-program/
Phooey. If Israel and/or the Saudis are that upset about it, let them deal with it. War with Iran will make the situation in Iraq look like a paintball game.
