Will Israel bomb Iran without notifying the US?

Source: Gulf News


In recent weeks, intense discussions have taken place in Israeli military and intelligence circles about whether or not to launch a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Apparently, the key question in the debate was how to ensure that the United States took part in the attack or, at the very least, intervened on Israel’s side if the initial strike triggered a wider war.

Reports of these discussions have caused considerable alarm in Washington and in a number of European capitals. Some western military experts have been quoted as saying that the window of opportunity for an Israeli air attack on Iran will close within two months, since the onset of winter would make such an assault more difficult.

Concern that Israel may decide to attack without giving the US prior warning is thought to be the main reason for the visit to Tel Aviv on October 3 of the US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta. His aim seems to have been to rein in the Israeli hawks.

Amos Harel of the Israeli daily Haaretz summed up Panetta’s message as follows: America is standing by Israel, but an uncoordinated Israeli strike on Iran could spark a regional war. The US will work to defend Israel, but Israel must behave responsibly.

LOL!  When I read "shitploads"  I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.  Well, that and its 2 in the morning.  You are absolutely right.

Only to provide 'plausible deniability' :) Remember who is supplying them with bunker busters and all...

And all this talk of Panetta trying to 'rein in the hawks' is pure b.s. and for public consumption only.

 

Please also remember that though this "bunker buster" story is making news these days, IT is NOT new. US had supplied Israel with shitploads of arms and ammo back during the Gaza invasion under false pretense (we are talking 2600 tons). I am talking 2009 and that was no secret then. And Israel has been in no war since to have used even 5% of that firepower.

 

And don't you know your congress "approved in September 2008 the transfer of 1,000 bunker-buster high precision GPS-guided Small Diameter Guided Bomb Units 39 (GBU-39)."
