[QUOTE="Jones, post: 425287, member: 4805"] Well, a nuclear war in the middle east would be a nightmare for everyone (including Israel) not just Obama. Beyond that this has all the key ingredients of a neo-con fantasy, the most important being that Israel calls the tune and America dances, followed closely by the prospect of millions of Arabs being slaughtered in a righteous nuclear holocaust. The scenario itself is pretty ridiculous to anyone who's understanding of the world goes beyond a game of Risk. For starters, Israel would never ask for U.S. support for this type of operation without knowing in advance what the answer would be. They would have already done a lot of high level groundwork and if they thought they wouldn't get US support and were determined to go ahead anyway, they would just do it without asking anyone and deal with the consequences afterwards. In addition their biggest worry would be Russia's response, not our's. Iran is a Russian client state and it's highly unlikely that Putin would sit idly by while Israel launched a first strike. Russia is perfectly capable of wiping Israel off the map and the Israeli government is well aware of that. [/QUOTE]
