Story: "Israel is carefully watching the world's reaction to Iran's continued refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, with some high-level officials arguing it is now clear that when it comes to stopping Iran, Israel "may have to go it alone," The Jerusalem Post has learned.
One senior source said on Tuesday that Iran "flipped the world the bird" by not responding positively to the Western incentive plan to stop uranium enrichment. He expressed frustration that the Russians and Chinese were already saying that Iran's offer of a "new formula" and willingness to enter "serious negotiations" was an opening to keep on talking.
"The Iranians know the world will do nothing," he said. "This is similar to the world's attempts to appease Hitler in the 1930s - they are trying to feed the beast."
He said there was a need to understand that "when push comes to shove," Israel would have to be prepared to "slow down" the Iranian nuclear threat by itself.
Having said this, he did not rule out the possibility of US military action, but said that if this were to take place, it would probably not occur until the spring or summer of 2008, a few months before President George W. Bush leaves the international stage."
And thats how you deal with evil...

Why wait?
Yeah, that was my thought.
At this point, I don't think the administration wants to get in another political heavyweight fight before the election, because it would look like a very, very cheap ploy to get votes, by claiming national security issues. Which of course they exist, but the PR war would be extreamly viscious.
I think if Israel gets involved, we will. Good site you've got going here, palmboy.
Myshkin, thanks for dropping by. How'd you find us? And I think your right, we'll fight with Israel.
Ryan, so I did.
*fixed.*
