From Sultan Knish:
The only question was whether America and Israel would take the regime’s threats seriously.
That question was answered when Israel, after two decades of trying to get the mostly fictitious “international community” to do something about Iran’s nuclear program, finally took action.
I don't think they were really waiting for the international community to do something, but rather waiting for the moment when they knew the international community would do nothing.
It's been the world's reaction to their defending themselves that have been, almost, as big a problem to Israel as the threats issued by Iran and others.
Getting the word that they could blow up all they wanted and the US wouldn't cut support had to be liberating.
The 'international community' has been a problem to Israel since even before the modern Israeli state was formed.
ReplyDeleteAs to the people that were saying that Israel wouldn't bomb Iran's nuke program, well, Israel did the same thing to Iraq in 1982.
Israel now has complete air superiority.
ReplyDeleteThey can go anywhere they want and take out anything they want.
0bama and Kerry must be hitting the sauce hard this weekend.
