IAF -- cleared for takeoff

...and for what? If they are spectacularly successful they'll set Iran's nuke program back 3 years. Then what?

Airstrikes are great for breaking stuff, but what is really needed is to affect Iranian nuke policy. Airplanes are crappy policy makers.

The mullahs have a lot of internal dissention to deal with now...but after being hit by Israeli jets they'll be united behind their crazy leaders. Is that something we or Israel really want?

Will they? Or will the dissenters see the air-strike as a natural result of the Mullahs leadership and redouble their efforts?

Well if we were speaking of America being attacked we could count on the masses of Ward Churchill wannabes to come out of the woodwork and blame the "Little Eichmans" for their own destruction.

Iran is not America. When Iran's Ward Churchill is executed for his treasonous opinions there tend to be far fewer wannabes...
