Is Israel Determined To Bomb Iran, And Is The U.S. Powerless To Stop Them?

Netanyahu ‘Determined To Attack Iran’ Before US Elections, Claims Israel’s Channel 10 -- Times of Israel

TV reporter adds: ‘I doubt Obama could say anything that would convince PM to delay a possible attack’

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is determined to attack Iran before the US elections,” Israel’s Channel 10 News claimed on Monday night, and Israel is now “closer than ever” to a strike designed to thwart Iran’s nuclear drive.

The TV station’s military reporter Alon Ben-David, who earlier this year was given extensive access to the Israel Air Force as it trained for a possible attack, reported that, since upgraded sanctions against Iran have failed to force a suspension of the Iranian nuclear program in the past two months, “from the prime minister’s point of view, the time for action is getting ever closer.”

My Comment:
It appears that US efforts have failed .... so the only question that is remaining for Israel is .... are their defenses and military ready for war.

What's my take .... I an starting to believe that Israel is now ready to launch a military strike against Iran knowing that they will not succeed in putting a serious dent in their nuclear program. What they are hoping for is that Iran's retaliation will force the international community to get involved, and to then "force" Iran to limit it's nuclear program. If this is the case .... I do not believe that it will succeed. Iran will not budge, and the international community does not have the will to stop Iran's nuclear program either through diplomacy or through military force.

Update: Some in Iran do not only want to have such a war, but are making it clear that they are welcoming it.
