#2 IMO Tel Aviv = PM Netanyahu + Govt. recognize that the only real way to stop Iran's NucProgs is via attack, invasion, + ultimately OCCUPATION, not just attack. The alternate is to get Iran to unilaterally halt its programme.

As things stand, neither the US nor Israel has any cause to attack Iran - while Iran is dev the capability, economies, or proficiencies to produce NucWeaps, it hasn't actually done so, nor unlike Saddam is there proof that Iran intends to give deadly NucTech knowledge to Radicalist Groups. In addition, both Russia + China are opposed to any Milaction agz Iran.

UNLESS A UN-APPROVED COALITION + MANDATE TO INVADE + OCCUPY IRAN IS CREATED, THIS RESOLUTION IS JUST PCORRECT COMEDY, AS RIDICULOUS + FARSICAL AS TAKING AWAY EVERY AMER'S RIGHT TO OWN GUNS WHILE DELIBERAT LEAVING US BORDERS UNSECURED.

SOLVING A PROB BY NOT SOLVING IT, BUT WANTING THE MAINSTREAM OR ELECTORATE TO BELIEVE IT WAS.

#3 You never have 100% proof, but you act upon the information you have. That's the way it is.

#4 Would congress declare war on Iran with a veto proof majority against the will of the president?

Would congress swiftly impeach, convict and remove a president who refused to come to Israel's aid?

All of the above is highly unlikely, and the power of the purse can constrain but not compel action.

This resolution might be well intended but it looks like an empty promise.

#5 As per PACIFICNEWSCENTER [aka Guam K-57 Radio News] Artic, USMC Commandant Amos has indic that the Sequester may undermine the Nation's need for having a Marine Corps - IIUC, IOW THE SEQUESTER = US DEBT BURDEN IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THE MARINE CORPS [ + likely other US Elite Units, etc]???

ADVANTAGE > CHINA = SSSHHHH "DPRK/NOKOR", IRAN, HARD BOYZ + NUCLEAR GLOBAL JIHAD.

The more + longer that the DemoLeft + aligned keep expanding the US Debt levels, the greater the likelihood that Israel will indeed be on its own be it any attack on Iran , or in just confronting the general Militant threat or hostile post-"Spring", pro-Islamist + Hardline Sharia, pro Nukulaar Arab-Muslim States.

WE'RE ALL OWG UNO "PEACEKEEPERS" = "GLOBAL PARA-MILITARY CONSTABULARIES/POLICE" NOW???
