WELL, WELL, WELL...

I've always thought we were going to let Israel do the dirty work needed to subdue Iran. According to an article in the UK Telegraph newspaper,

"A former head of Mossad has warned that Israel has 12 months in which to destroy Iran's nuclear programme or risk coming under nuclear attack itself. He also hinted that Israel might have to act sooner if Barack Obama wins the US presidential election.

...He warned that while it would be preferable to have American support and participation in a strike on Iran, Israel will not be afraid to go it alone.

"When it comes to decisions that have to do with our national security and our own survival, at best we may update the Americans that we are intending or planning or going to do something. It's not a precondition, [getting] an American agreement," he said.

'WW3 begins at that point' it's been said, and I don't doubt it for a minute.
