Melding the Hanukkah holiday and foreign affairs, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu solemnly vowed to act as a “light unto the nations” and act against Iran’s nuclear program should diplomacy fail Thursday night.

Speaking at the Western Wall for a Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremony, Netanyahu compared Iran’s nuclear program to a darkness that would be forced out by Israel, referencing a popular children’s song for the holiday.

Israel showed with the Iraqi and Syrian reactors that it will not hesitate to strike if it has the ability to do so.

What Netanyahu has shown with all his talk and inaction is that key components of the Iranian program are beyond Israel's conventional react.

He may not be referring to bombs or such extravagant action.

The bomb has been delayed or crippled by killing the scientists, by stuxnet disruption, by explosions in Isfahan and elsewhere. These are results about which we know. We don’t know what we don’t know.

We read today of S audi “fishing boats” being detained off Iran.

There are others besides Bibi with fish to fry.

We don’t know what they are up to. Bibi knows that and is rattling the Mullah’s cage

One of their major advances was cutting fighter/bomber ground turnaround time to mere minutes,

You mean like this?

"rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu solemnly vowed to act as a “light unto the nations”..."

May that time also come soon.

Fair enough. Then why has Netanyahu not acted on this threat to Israel in the 20 years he's been talking about it? Does he not know he has the promise of God?

And if a man had faith the size of a mustard seed, he could command a mountain to cast itself into the sea. Haven't heard of that happening - as you so aptly pointed out, he is a mere mortal.
