"Israel Can Attack Iran on Its Own": Israeli Think Tank

Not only can they, but they likely will.

An Iranian nuclear bomb is only a matter of time" if no military action is to be taken, Israeli Institute for National Strategic Studies (INSS) at Tel Aviv University warned in its annual report released to press Tuesday.

The report, Middle East Strategic Balance, also made the conclusion that "Israel can attack Iran on its own".

INSS head Zvi Shtauber said Israel was "technically" capable of striking alone and would have to do it alone if it is to take any action, as no other country would agree to work openly with Israel.

Brigadier General Giora Eiland, a member of the institute's board, suggested that Israel must pursue full "strategic and military" understanding with the United States if it decided to attack Iran.

Where do these guys come from? Does Bush supply think tank people to Israel? Their solutions always involve bigger guns and more bloodshed and destruction. Makes one wonder how we all survived the cold war, doesn't it?

As for that full "strategic and military" understanding with the United States
shit, do they really think they would have to ask Bush for it?

After all, they've done it before in Iraq.

1981: Israel bombs Baghdad nuclear reactor

The Israelis have bombed a French-built nuclear plant near Iraq's capital, Baghdad, saying they believed it was designed to make nuclear weapons to destroy Israel.

It is the world's first air strike against a nuclear plant.

Now isn't that a "first" any statesman/stateswoman should be proud to have achieved?

Sorry, but this gets very linky. I've made so made posts on this subject and often it includes information about Israel making the first air strikes against Iran. Its all been mapped out. They just haven't implemented it. Think of it as "a success that hasn't occurred yet."

Gawd, I love that phrase.
