Word is Israel gave the US a limited time to employ the Obama Iran-fail plan.
But that clock is about run out.

Problem is my sense is that any strike will have only limited results. Much of the discussion revolves around how much time Israel gets in delaying mullah nukes.

Problem is that’s all inexact and Iran’s nuke program is scattered and some sites may not be known. (They may be known to the Israelis.) To complicate matters further Israel is trying to get Russia to not send a new air defense capability. It’s not faring well as it’s leaked out already by the Russians.

So the scenarios actually look bad and worse. A military attack would be complex and very much unlike the singular strike on Iraq’s one nuke site.

Already existing troops are available... From Iraq and Afghanistan. Along with a marine invasion from the Persian Gulf, it wouldn't be that complicated. We just rolled right over the Iraqi forces, and considering how much trouble the Iranians had with them, it wouldn't necessarily be a "quagmire" at all, especially since many, many Iranians don't like their Islamic oppressors.

Now, if the Russians could be trusted and would position themselves in the Caspian, they could roll right into Tehran in a matter of days...
