Lieberman: US will back Israeli strike on Iran

and the thing that nobody talks about is the question of iran being supported by russia and china.

and if so, to what degree.

an iran strike is being pushed by the same big brains that told us to forget about afghanistan and go after iraq.

Iran agrees to U.N. nuclear inspection By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer

VIENNA, Austria - U.N. nuclear inspectors banned earlier this year by Iran from visiting a heavy water reactor will now be allowed to inspect it before the end of July, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Friday.

In a further sign of compromise, the IAEA said the country also agreed to answer questions on past experiments that the international community fears could be linked to a weapons program.

The IAEA ?- the U.N.'s nuclear monitor ?- said Iran promised the concessions, including the inspection of the Arak reactor, in a meeting this week between its officials and a senior delegation from the Vienna-based agency.

Any Iranian decision to cooperate with the agency could weaken a push by the United States and Western allies on the council to impose new U.N. sanctions ?- even if Iran continues to defy the council's main demand that it freeze uranium enrichment.

IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Monday that Iran has scaled back its uranium enrichment program, suggesting a new willingness from the government to resolve the international deadlock. link

According to a NATO spokesman, NATO will NOT participate in such an attack.

So, we are back to the scenario... Israel will attack Iran's nuclear power system, the one Iran has a legal right to own under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty that the US signed along with Iran. Iran will then wish to counter-attack, just as you and I would want to attack any nation that attacked us, indeed were exhorted to attack when we were falsely told Iraq was behind 9-11.

But look at a map. In order to invade Israel, Iran will have to go through Iraq, and all those young American men and women stuck there.

With one bombing run, Israel will send the US into yet another war against one of Israel's enemies, and the dumb American Christians and the dumb Iranian Muslims will be killing each other off in the desert while Israel stands off to one side and pats itself on the back over how clever they all are!

"Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!" -- Official Tel Aviv...

(Ahem)

Now then, fair is fair. Iran is allowing nuclear inspections; Israel, for all their kvetching about Iran's nuclear capability, should allow the same.
