Israel will not consult us or ask for our blessing. They have written off the Muslim-In-Chief as an enemy of Israel.

This only INCREASES the likelihood that lead will fly.

I think you're right on point. Israel has to act. Forget Muslim Brotherhood creep, there will be open warfare if Iran/Egypt/Syria try to control the Suez Canal. Isn't this one of the things we've always worked to prevent?

Who needs nukes if you control half the world's oil supply, Hugo Chavez controls the other half, and you've got American troops cut off from supply lines? Good God.
