Iran increases stockpile of uranium

I see a pre-emptive strike in Israel’s immediate future.

I agree jainphx. After Jan 20, Israel won’t be able to count on the US anymore.

That would hurt them and slow their progress down a bunch. No money, no nukes. Not sure if it would be permanent though.

The left is so incapable of facing the fact that Iran wants to destroy Israel, they blame those that are trying to stop them of being the war mongers.

I don’t see Israel doing any preemptive strikes until several months after 20Jan. I think they are anxious to hear back from the incoming administration following the security intel briefs to ascertain whether the Obama-Biden administration will change their position (from what was stated in the debates) and continue with the America-Israeli past alliance or leave them to the wolves as was hinted at. We might have a better idea of what might happen had Charlie Gibson or any other Obama cherishing news folks ever bothered to pose the same questions to Obama as he did to Palin.

If the administration and U.N. does not take action, Israel will and things will get ugly. Further sanctions will not do squat. We already have historical evidence of that with past rogue regimes such as Iran during the hostage crisis, Qaddafi, & the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Sanctions only really serve to hurt the common people and incite them to make demands upon their government. For them to work, you must have a government that has some interest in what their own citizens have to say. Talk will also be a waste of time, Iran will play along pretending to be interested, while secretly continuing to develop their nukes. We saw how well that worked with Kim Jong Il. I only see this continuing to degrade and the only things to prevent Israel from moving in would be for, American Forces, NATO forces, or U.N. “Peace Keeping Forces” invading Iran and forcing compliance. If Obama PDDs his CinC powers to the U.N. Secretary General like Clinton did, it will be primarily America going in, just like in Somalia & Serbia.

Israel submitted to sitting on their hands when Saddam was launching Scud missiles at them during Desert Storm/Desert Shield only because their NATO allies convinced them they did not want things escalating into a Holy War. Every nation in the U.N. sighed with relief as they knew Israel was well within it’s rights to react. Though Israel’s patience was severely tested, they did back down with some reservations. This peace offer being suggested by Arab countries is the same old-same old that comes up every time; If Israel gives up some territory in the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem to Palestinians, the Arabs will supposedly be more supportive of Israel. Yet it never works out that way and Israel knows it. The development continuing along the Gaza strip is a definite message to the Arab world. This happens every time threats are perceived to show Israel will push the Palestinians out if need be, and those refugees would be forced to relocate to surrounding countries who do not want them. If Arab nations expect Israel to take them seriously, they must react in kind this time and lean severely on Iran to cut the crap. There is no difference in this case. Ahmadinejad has already made his intentions clear to the world in his verbal threat to Israel’s sovereignty. This alone is sufficient cause for Israel to react if he moves to carry out his plans. They would need no U.N. approval.

Israel cannot and will not allow Iran to finish construction of a nuclear weapon. They may seem to be biding their time for now, but they will move in a preemptive attack, as soon as intelligence reveals Iran is close. If and when that happens, Israel will already be prepared for Jordan, Syria, and others to join in. Any actions in that regard such as military pre-staging will bring swift response. Israel has had decades to prepare and plan for such an event. NATO will have no choice but to get involved.
