The Obama Administration is creating a win-win situation for Iran.

There are two possible scenarios:

Iran will conduct an underground test after assembling 5-8 weapons. It will then announce that it will use them only if attacked, that weapons storage facilities are dispersed, that they only developed them in response to Israeli aggression, etc. We then have a radical Islamic country in SWA that every other Islamic country is afraid of, and will kow-tow to.

Secondly, Iran might take three of their stockpile and explode them in Israel in a decapitation strike. They would not use missiles, but rather simply smuggle them in by land or sea. When they were then detonated, there would be no way to prove it was Iran, ergo no retaliation. Everyone would know, but would kow-tow to Tehran in this case as well, because of anti-Semitism, plus there would be no reason to defend a basically now non-existent Israel.

Very bad news all around, and Obama is doing nothing to stop it… and we all know why that is!

Not true. Fissile products leave very distinct traces of their origins. All you need are trace samples of the material they are enriching, and a knowledge of the weapons' design, both of which Western intelligence agencies already have.

Let’s quit talking about it, and launch a preemptive strike already..

Israel would be fools to disclose one shred of tactical intelligence or its Order of Battle to Obama. They might as well just send it by e-mail to Iran itself.

For pure 2012 political reasons, the Obama Regime is trying to time the moment for a preemptive strike (or, as TOTUS would see it, the moment for the super-duper penultimate sanctions) down to the proverbial gnat’s ass. That is why he gambled (and lost) some of our latest intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance technology to placate the Israelis. The problem is that since the Iranians will soon have both the weapon (i.e. a nuclear device) and now the delivery system (i.e. stealth aircraft), the time for dawdling is long past.

And the White House was thrust into action, reassuring the Israelis that the administration had its own “red lines” that would trigger military action against Iran

Yeah - right... WHAT "red line"? Tel Aviv turned into rubble? The US has done little to stem the Iran-funded attacks on Israel for the last 4 years, are we to believe that Obummer would "come to the rescue" now?
