Israel would surely nuke Iraq. Probably what Sadsack wants under a last ditch scenario. We (USA) should let the word out that, in addition to Israel's response, we would conquer all of Iraq, and any other country that "jumped into the fray". All oil reserves would revert to the USA.

In order for United States forces to challenge all ME nations in the manner you suggest, I don't believe we have the manpower to do so. We would ALL need to enlist and then team with NATO and Israel in order to overwhelm the arab nations. And, for what premise? Oil?

Israel would surely nuke Iraq.

More likely the Israelis would first assess the damage (everyone is already equipped with gas masks) and more likely demand certain actions from the US with regards its prosecution of the war or threaten to nuke Baghdad. The US wouldn't have much choice but to do what the Israelis ask.
