>>>I thought it was decided Israels best planes can barely even reach the sites.<<<

As in Israel's 1981 attack on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor, everyone but the Israelis had decided that they didn't have the range to reach the target.

Israel announced a few days ago that it would have a nuclear-tipped missile ready for use sometime in 2006, that would be capable of striking almost any point in Iran. Israel's current nuclear missiles can only reach western Iran, and the Iranians have scattered their nukes sites all over the country. The best the Israelis can hope for is to delay Iran's nuke dreams long enough for the U.S. to get its head out of the sand. Or, you could nuke Tehran. No more regime, but who knows where the nukes would end up. And the Iranian people, who are very friendly to Jews and Americans, would almost certainly not feel that way any more.

There is no good military option. But keep in mind if things get out of hand, you'll have as many as a half-million personnel at your disposal (Israel+Iraq+US).

But if the good guys don't screw things up again, one month from today, regime change in Syria will be imminent, if it doesn't happen before then. Syria first, then Iran. That is the proper way. Which is the #1 reason why we went to war in Iraq in the first place.
