Subject: Iran Capable of Hitting Israel
From: "Wolfie"
Israel has the "you can't get there from here" problem with
that scenario in Iran. They'd have to overfly either Saudi
Arabia or US-controlled Iraq. The US certainly won't
let a strike mission be flown under it's CAP while trying
to get Iraq under control.

We'll see.

Israel can do it in pure physical terms.

But if they achieve it, they either had US complicity or proved the US
incompetent. So, does the US want to be an Israeli poodle, or just plain
clueless? Or else was it a willing partner in an Israeli raid on Iran?
Huge problems either way.

(Odds are it won't happen. Hitting Osiraq was a serious stretch with
much less political trouble, and even though Israel turned that raid
into a remarkable success it should be remembered how marginal it was)
