Oh Great, It’s not going to be long before Iran declares, “All your base are belong to us.”

War with Iran now?  Unless the US completely pulls out of Iraq and lets Afghanistan become completely undermanned (again) would we be able to fight another war, without a draft.  We just don’t have the manpower to pull it off.  America is already too tired; I’m betting Iran is betting that too.  They will just continue on assuming we aren’t going to do anything about it.  My guess… they are right.  We won’t see an US led invasion of Iran.   The most the US will lead is to the UN asking for more sanctions.  I will guarantee that Israel will take care of the problem. So once again, don’t worry America.

The United States warned Wednesday that Iran is close to having the capabilities to produce a nuclear weapon and urged Tehran to join in fresh talks with key allies about its disputed intentions.Glyn Davies, Washington’s chief envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the latest report by the nuclear watchdog shows that Tehran is either very near or already in possession of sufficient low-enriched uranium to produce one nuclear weapon, if the decision were made to further enrich it to weapons-grade.

“This ongoing enrichment activity … moves Iran closer to a dangerous and destabilizing possible breakout capacity,” Davies told the agency’s 35-nation board of governors.

The head of Mossad, Israel’s overseas intelligence service, has assured Benjamin Netanyahu, its prime minister, that Saudi Arabia would turn a blind eye to Israeli jets flying over the kingdom during any future raid on Iran’s nuclear sites.

Earlier this year Meir Dagan, Mossad’s director since 2002, held secret talks with Saudi officials to discuss the possibility.

So what does this mean for America?  Given the fact that Israel is always willing to fight for it’s freedom, this move is almost a guarantee because Israel will not want to give up it’s biggest asset.  If Israel is no longer the only nuclear state in the Middle East, Iran will basically have taken away their hold on the region.  Pakistan and India have possessed nuclear weapons for over a decade and that hasn’t stopped their fighting over Kashmir.  Since Israel has had the bomb they have basically been allowed to do strikes against their opponents with a small amount of chance their target will strike back (Here, Here, Here).  To explain, if Israel attacks another nation, they cannot fight back for fear of being nuked.  By Iran having the bomb this means Israel is then checked.  But not in a good way.  This will lead to full blown conventional warfare.  I believe they can fight each other and not nuke one another.

This is why Israel has to take out their nuclear facilities now.  If they don’t it will end to a full scale war, or Iran using the nuke or giving/selling it to terrorists organizations who will definitely use it against them or anyone else for that matter.

Back to my question, “What does this mean for America?”  Say, we stay out of it completely until they start killing each other.  If they end up fighting each other we will  have to intervene with a combination of humanitarian aid and/or military power and a lot of blankets.
