Obama Promises Israel Use of U.S. Bases for Iran Attack If It Will Wait
 Excerpt: U.S. intelligence and special operations officials have tried to keep a dialogue going with Israel despite the high-level impasse, offering options such as allowing Israel to use U.S. bases in the region to launch such a strike, as a way to make sure the Israelis give the Americans a heads-up, according to the U.S. official and a former U.S. official with knowledge of the communications. Truth or dare....? Neither: it is, rather, control if they can trick the Israelis into going along. After all, once the Israelis agree to make use of U.S. facilities and devise a plan to do so, the plan can be derailed by refusing the use of the facilities. "No, not yet, wait a while longer." Sure, the Israelis would eventually tire of this and go back to Plan B, but in the meantime perhaps things have changed to render Plan B obsolete. Posted by: Uncle Phester 2012-02-29 |
