#1 French offered major military support to Israel long before the USA did. '67 war fought with Mystere jets and other frog equipment. Not until '69 when Nixon delivered the F-4 Phantoms did major US military hardware arrive. Will history repeat itself?

#2 IIRC in the 50s and early 60s Israel was heavily aligned with the left, which is why France supported the early stages of the Israeli nuclear program and why the US was cautious.

#5 Lest we fergit, IRAN > has already made it clear that it will consider ANY ATTACK BY ISRAEL AS AN ATTACK BY THE USA, which Tehran reserves its right to respond either via Military-led response andor TERRORISM AGZ US-ISRAELI-ALLIED WORLDWIDE INTERESTS.

* RADICAL MULLAHS > EITHER ISLAM = ISLAMISM RULES OR WINS, OR NO ONE WILL [aka MUTUAL DESTRUCTION espec vee INDUCING "GREAT POWERS" MILPOL CONFRONTATION BY PROXY + ultimat GLOBAL NUCWAR].

ISRAEL > AIR, NAVAL MISSLE STRIKES alone taint enuff. ISRAEL will need DIVISION/CORPS-SIZED COMMANDO FORCES to not only attack, overwhelm, and destroy Iran's known N-sites but more impor to verify curr Intel and discover unknown factors or changes to Iran's NucDevProgs, and destroy same, THEN TO LEAVE OR EXTRACT THEMSELVES AFTERWARDS.

The only other REALISTIC OPTIONS IS LET IRAN HAVE ITS BOMB [read, NUCLEAR ISLAMISM = NUCLEAR MILIT-TERRORISM]; or initiate a FULL-FLEDGED US = US-ALLIED INVASION + OCCUPATION OF IRAN.

Anything else in the interim only means IRAN = ISLAMIST MILTERRS > MIGHT BE DELAYED IN GETTING THEIR NUKES, BUT EVENS WILL STILL GET IT.

GWOT + ISLAMIST UNIVERSAL JIHAD > among other, 'tis "WAR TO THE DEATH". Any rhetoric to the contary is just fancy schamncey frills + fluffy bunnies.
