Did you bother to read this article before posting it? The conclusion is
that the Israelis can't mount a realistic threat, and probably wouldn't
anyway.

Do you consider the ramp-up of Iran's nuclear program a success for the
Bush Administration's foreign policy? How about President Bush's
schmoozing with Vladimir Putin, asking him to not give (or sell,
actually) the Iranians any nuclear material, which they went ahead and
did anyway? By golly, that Bush-Cheney team really gets the job done!

BTW why did you run away from the thread about Turkey?

Israel Warns of Iran Nuclear Plans
... Officials questioned Israel's ability to destroy Iran's nuclear
installations. Israeli warplanes bombed the unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor
at Osirak near Baghdad in 1981. They said Iran's nuclear installations,
unlike the Iraqi reactor, are dispersed throughout the country _ many in
populated areas, with sophisticated defense systems.

"I believe this is beyond our abilities," said Uzi Even, a former lawmaker
and a Tel Aviv University expert on nuclear weapons.

Iran should fear the U.S., not Israel, Steinitz said. "The Americans have
proven their ability to strike many sites simultaneously."
