#2 Of course he is right about aversion of all possible attacks. But he made no mention of retaliation, which NATO would be very, very good at.

#3 Can't stop all threats, that is true. But the fact that anyone launching enough to overwhelm it will undoubtably be targetted before any missiles hit targets will prevent most from such idiotic moves.

For the rest, the ones who just might be crazy enough, well we're hoping Israel will deal with them.

#4 Oh, the west will bash Israel afterwards, don't get me wrong, but they hope they'll do the dirty job anyway since the rest of the West may not have the spine at this point.

#5 the rest of the West may not have the spine

They had plenty of spine to bomb Tripoli for 6 months.

#6 Tripoli was a different scenerio. They directly threatened Europe with a flood of refugees and the nulification of TotaFinaElf oil contracts. Europe wanted them out.

Europe kind of likes the way Iran threatens Israel and the US population and government doesn't have the spine for another conflict.
