Will America pay the price if Israel hits Iran

Will America pay the price if Israel DOES NOT hit Iran?
We should have bombed Iran into a parking lot back in 1978.
Just tell us little people what is beyond discussion.
Rosenberg is not like Part Buchanan. Rosenberg is a leftist with no real loyalty to any country, other than those, which exist in his mind.

The Beast is never sated, however.

Pat Buccarhon writing for Jerselum Post who knew LOL!
The stuff being said here is true & is something many Israelis are in denial about. Especially the negative effect an attack on Iran will have on America’s plans in Iraq. I don’t know where anyone gets the idea that Iraqis are going to be cool with an Israeli attack on Iran, which will always be associated with America. Sunni Arabs & even Shi’a Arabs to an extent may dislike Persians, but they really, really, really loathe Israelis. Even GCC governments that are secretly in favor of an Israeli attack on Iran represent only their ruling classes, certainly not most of their people. Be prepared for a lot of trouble & don’t expect the American government to be so enthusiastic about this.
But instead of drawing the conclusion that in the end only we (Israel) are responsible for ourselves & we cannot depend on permissions or foreign support, the author pushes Israel toward defeat & draws the conclusion that Israel should just accept submission to Iran.
I think Israel MUST strike Iran, then the other Arab nations when they all gather in one chant for the death of Israel. America should arm them and get out of the way, so Israel gets the victory and America has Israel’s thanks. My opinion.
"there are forces in Israel and here that believe that anything, no matter how dangerous, is better than either negotiating with Iran or relying on sanctions. These people are as hell-bent for war with Iran as they were for war with Iraq. Mostly, they are the same people. Always wrong, always eager for war. (Many of these people encouraged Georgia to take on Russia, as always disregarding consequences.)"
Sure sounds like Puke-cannon.
What a freaking worry-wart. Hey putz, we're at war with Islamofascists. War. In war, you don't sit there with your finger up your tuchas in paralysis worried about your enemy's response to getting his clock cleaned.
The writer is the director of the Israel Policy Forum's Washington Policy Center.
For those unaware, the Israel Policy Center was established as and still is the left-wing counterweight to AIPAC.
So it's perfectly fitting for Rosenberg to say, "An Israeli attack on Iran - absent an imminent threat of attack from Iran - is a terrible idea for many reasons." I wonder whether Rosenberg will or would ever acknowledge "an imminent threat of attack from Iran," no matter how many times Ahmadinejad has mouthed off about his intention to destroy Israel and no matter how close Iran is to the development of a nuclear weapon.
Seems also that Rosenberg has coined a new word in international policy: "blowback." He calculates that it will cause American Jews to pressure Israel to adopt appeasement policies. I hope he calculates incorrectly.
From my perspective here in NJ, it’s only a matter of time before the Muslim Salafists and various extremists in NJ take the Middle East wars onto NJ’s soil. The Federal, State, County and local police already know who the actors are, they already know their objectives, and they know their direct connections to extremists and governments in the Middle East.
There will be blowback in the US, some of the Muslim communities are insular and have many recent immigrants with marginal economic situations that will be easily exploited.
Judging from this article, you've got that right. As I pointed out earlier, his position as a big shot in the Israel Policy Forum gives him away.
Of course we do - when it also affects our own.

That doesn't mean they have nothing in common.
