#1 Another step towards making the world safer for the rest of us. Go Israel.

#2 This can't be good. If this sort of action is being contemplated, there's no reason to alert the mullahs and give them time to move things around. Better to leave them in the dark, and when the time comes, catch the mullahs with their turbans off.

#3 Sorry, Bomb, but Israel knows EXACTLY what they're doing! They WANT the Mullahs to try moving stuff around. That way, they can learn if there's more than one place to hit, and what it'll take to hit them. Our intel might be fooled on a few minor points, but theirs misses NOTHING! I wouldn't be surprised if our boys didn't help them this time - we both see the need to whack & stack the blackturbantops.

You got a point there. Their intel always seems to be pretty damned good.

#5 Their intel always seems to be pretty damned good.

It's more than their lives that depend upon it - their very existence as a nation, and as a people, rests on the quality of their intelligence. They know this, from the bottom to the top. They can't afford to make a single mistake.

#6 OP, the questions that has always bothered me is why Isreal hasn't already bombed Iranian reactors? I can understand us, being caught up with UN "diplomacy", but Isreal? There's an alterior motive besides having the Mullahs screw up. If that is they're true motive, they would have done it when they bombed Iraq's reactor in '81.
