"The State of Israel may launch a military strike on the Islamic Republic of Iran any time now, reports Israeli television network Channel 10 News.

Channel 10, a decade-old broadcasting network with international distribution, reports that authorities in the United States are rushing this week to discuss an impending Israeli attack on Iran. The reports have developed in recent days following news that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formed an alliance with Shaul Mofaz, the leader of the nation’s largest opposition party."

Also talk of this in the Israeli news......could be the old huff and puff but some big decisions will need to be made

Decisions by whom? Doesn't look like the U.S. has a helluva lot to say about what Israel does or doesn't do.

That's not the way I think it should be, given our heavy funding of their defense budget and sales of planes and arms to them.

If we'd ever stop publicly stating that Israel is our oldest and best friend in the region and that we'll do whatever is necessary to support and defend them, maybe we'd have something to say about how they conduct themselves with their neighbors. But as long as they know they can count on the U.S. for continued foreign aid and as many planes, tanks and as much ammunition they might need, what we think or want them to do or not do doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Israel has a right to exist.

There is no nation in the world in more immediate danger, including Iran stating publicly that it will eradicated Israel; which is under constant, if underreported, daily barrages of missiles. Yet, our concern is supposed to be how Israel conducts themselves with it's neighbors???

I think Iran should be notified that we've armed Israel with our most technologically advanced nuclear bunker buster, and that we've given them all the intel on exacting where all their good stuff is, along with detailed coordinates of the homes of all their leaders.

But, that's just me............I for one "will never forget".

Should have been done months ago.

I agree. Should have been done 10 years ago. Iran will not stop until one of them is destroyed. I would rather see Israel survive.

Everyone should read it.

If the author's prediction is correct, then the "scary stuff" Bucco referred to in his initial post is likely. Then the question will become--maybe I should say questions...

• Will the U.S. be prepared to let "our dog" go ahead and complete the fight?

• Can we afford economically, militarily or politically to do otherwise?
