Netanyahu is not bluffing
2013-10-13
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu "is not bluffing" on his intentions to strike Iran should the Islamic Republic continue its nuclear program for much longer, a former senior Israeli military official told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.

"Bibi's not bluffing. He thinks it's the 1930s. The Iranians are the Germans, and history has a sense of humor with six million Jews now in Israel," the retired official said.

#6  I am looking for a surprise. They may let them keep their nuke facilities intact, and just close the front door, take out the navy, and their refinery. Or something asymmetric, but effective. I can only hope.

#4  Right now Iran is on the path to becoming Obama Amerika's new BFF in Syria.

Benji has to decide what is best for Israel - attacking Iran, or seeing Shia Iran + Hezbollah help Baby Assad put down the pro-Sunni Al-Qaeda + other foreign MilTerr groups in Syria + Iraq.

Benji's decision may decide iff the UNO + US-Allies put troops on the ground in Syra or not.
