Rosenberg: War with Iran?
Ever since rumors of Iran going beyond the use of peaceful technology with their nuclear program there have been hints of military strikes (and HERE) from either Israel or the USA or both to set Iran’s nuclear back.
It became clear as Bush’s popularity began to shrink coupled with zero support with the Russian and Chinese portions of the United Nations Security Council that the Bush Administration was not going to involve the USA in a military strike against Iran. This so much the case a political rumor escaped that Ehud Olmert visited Bush to get the go ahead for Israel to do a solo strike against Iran’s nuclear capability. Bush did not give that go-ahead.
Now the rumors are beginning to fly again and only action will verify the difference between reality and rumor.
That rumor is that Israel is considering a solo strike against Iran before President Elect Obama takes Office on January 20, 2009. The reasoning being that Bush’s hands are even more tied and President Elect Obama is so pro-Arab that he will be more ambitious to strip Israel back to the pre-1967 borders before Arab invaders made yet another attempt to destroy Israel – and lost. Coincidently this pre-1967 border plan is a Saudi initiative.
Setting this up for you, you really need to read Joel C. Rosenberg’s article on this situation.
