Israelis urge U.S. to stop Iran's nuke goals...
Saturday, October 01, 2005
The United States and its allies must act to stop Iran's nuclear programs -- by force if necessary -- because conventional diplomacy will not work, three senior Israeli lawmakers from across the political spectrum warned yesterday.So if W and his regime isn't turning up the heat, someone else is - I can see W orchestrating this message.
As a last resort, they said, Israel itself would act unilaterally to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms.
Iran will not be deterred "by anything short of a threat of force," said Arieh Eldad, a member of Israel's right-wing National Union Party, part of a delegation of Knesset members visiting Washington this week.
And then of course there is Syria. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten you.
Bush's national security team is due to meet Saturday to review policy toward Syria, the officials said. Options range from tougher economic sanctions to limited military action. One official involved in the deliberations said military action is unlikely for now.Don't you just love it. "Unlikely for now", but later - that is another story.
Here's a plan - Israel bombs Iran, we bomb Syria - then we all kiss our asses goodbye.
