A Nuclear Iran is Like a Nuclear Bin Laden
"'There's no avoiding what there's no avoiding' - this adage came to mind when I read the pronouncement by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Mohammad 'Ali Ja'fari, who said: 'My country is easily capable of closing the Straits of Hormuz, the main passageway for oil freighters, if the country is attacked due to its nuclear program.'
"In my estimation, confronting this country, which is trying to gain the time necessary to acquire nuclear weapons, is unavoidable. The possession of nuclear weapons by a state like Iran, which is ideological to the core, is more or less like Osama bin Laden having a nuclear bomb. They are two of a kind. Despite the difference in their turbans and in their religious beliefs, the end result is the same.

"Confrontation is the solution, and there is no solution but confrontation. The game of the carrot and the stick played by the U.S. and E.U. will be to no avail.
"At present, we are suffering from two things: Iran's attempts [to gain] regional hegemony, and its attempts to impose its influence via its sectarian allies - the fifth column of Arab Shi'ite fundamentalists. Imagine what Iran's influence, hegemony, and fifth column would be like if Iran had a nuclear bomb.
"Perhaps it is a strange coincidence that, this time around, our strategic interests coincide with those of Israel. The regime of the mullahs in Iran is our enemy, and at the same time it is an enemy not just of Israel, but of world peace and security.

Maybe we should lease the equipment to the Saudis and let them do the job. It woulds sure save us a lot of trouble if they were flying the jets and pushing the buttons.
Why can’t the muzzies clean up their own messes, hmmmm?
My sentiments as well.
Nothing permanent. Just provide the planes and munitions for the missions. Then take our toys home when they’re done.
Maybe we should lease the equipment to the Saudis and let them do the job.

BINGO! Excellent Point!
Unfortunately, Muslim wackos around the world would perceive that as Saudi Arabia doing Israel's bidding. The House of Saud would be in even deeper shit than it is already.
Maybe the Saudis could grant Israel landing rights. Or, just give them a base for about two weeks.
Permission to fly over would suffice.
WOW!!!,,,Whooo’Da Thunk IT!!???...
