The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has OK'd use of it's airspace to launch go-it-alone air strikes on Iranian nuclear installations by the Israeli Air Force, according to London's Daily Express.
The issue has reportedly been discussed in a closed-door meeting in London, where British Intelligence Chief Sir John Scarlett his Israeli counterpart, Mossad chief Meir Dagan, have been negotiating with unnamed Saudi officials.
According to the report Scarlett has been told that Saudi airspace would be at Israel's disposal should Tel Aviv decide to move forward with his military plans against Iran.
The British daily added the likelihood of an Israeli attack against Iran has increased significantly after the country announced plans to launch its second enrichment facility in the central city of Qom.
What is obvious is that the Israelis are the target of an Iranian extermination plan, and cannot afford the luxury of a Pollyana, cafe-debate world view like the Barack seems to think is so stylish. Israel can go-it-alone if she has to, anyway... the IDF probably has the military capacity already to not only bomb Iran, but also then win the wider Middle East war that is likely to result.
And unlike vs. Hezbollah in 2006, the Israelis would fight this one to win, and win big... vs. Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and the rump Hamas... going all-out with infantry and armor from day one.
So Team Obama would be well-advised to keep an eye on the horizon anytime they're visiting their recalcitrant new pals in Tehran... for a wing of IAF fighter-bombers coming-in at Mach 2. The Israelis did us all a huge favor in 1983, taking out Saddam's reactor in the face of world condemnation... and they'll just take care of business again.
Israel is of-course used to such lack of strategic and moral clarity coming-from it's critics... so why wait until Tehran's already-purchased Russian air-defense systems are delivered? The Iranians have already had every chance in the world to come-clean... instead, they've lied, taunted, and threatened Israel with nuclear apocalypse as they race towards jerry-rigging a nuke or two.
As for the Boy Wonder, polls show the Israeli populace has comprehensively turned against him, as he abandons yet another traditional US ally to it's fate. Israelis don't really care what this smiley plastic mannequin has to say anymore.- they'll just wait-out his (only) term while he turns the US into an irrelevant, impotent bystander... and stick to the business of aggressively protecting their country, lives, and families.
Sorry about him, Israel- most normal Americans still support you.
