Whatever the response it will likely be in one of two areas. Either they already have a nuke ready or they will launch a retaliatory air strike. That will end up destroying what's left of the iranian air force. The nuke can be delivered by air, missile or ship.

There will not be a large scale ground action response possible except by a joint arab operation. In either case it's going to be a large destabilizing situation.

Could be ship hitting sand time. What do you think Iran's response would be to an attack by Israel?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,369465,00.html

Public outrage, a call for international censure, claims of innocence, issuance of fatwa, declaration of holy war, comparisons to Hitler, denouncement of the Zionist state, about a million 7.62 rounds fired into the air amidst flag burning, a heavy and persistent smell of flatulance.

Then a whole lot of nothing.

Maverick - they don't have a nuke. Unless you somehow have more knowledge about Iranian capabilities than MI6, the CIA and Mossad - because I'm pretty sure something would have happened by now if the respective masters of those organisations had even the slightest hint of a nuke ready to be used.

The Israelis are sabre rattling to show that they mean business and would not countenance any further Uranium enrichment. And it takes more than enrichment to make and deliver a bomb, anyways.

Hopefully, an attack could be avoided.

I think bombing Iran should be a last resort.  From what I've read(no, I'm not an expert)  there are faction in Iran that are quite pro democracy. Hopefully, we can give them time to develop further.

Israel has  an established track record with bombing nuclear facilities, such as in Baghdad in 1981. It was even done on a Sunday to prevent workers from being injured, and, was bombed before going into production to avoid any nuclear health related injuries to those in the area. Israels justification in 1981 is the same as it is today towards Iran. They will not allow themselves to be attacked by nuclear weapons.  And as Iran is following suit, Iraq claimed it was not for nuclear weapons.

Its been done before, Israel is capable of doing it again and bombing all the facilities in one strike.

That one alone pretty much sums it up.  You do NOT want to mess with Israel.  Period, end of story.

Track record?  Look what happened when Israel was threatened by not one but a few countries at once :O   http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761570433/six-day_war.html

There is a reason we have a big part to play with israel.
And we have for a very very very long time.


Our tanks, our guns, our aircraft, almost everything was developed here, and fielded there.
fairly sure if for some reason israel started to fall as a state, you would shortly find american foot prints in the same sand helping to defend her.
