If it happens, here's how it would go down.
If you were asked to summarize the feelings within the White House and the U.S. State Department this week, they lie somewhere between ecstatic and relieved. Ecstatic, because President Barack Obama has succeeded for the time being (assuming that Congress doesn’t override a presidential veto) in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear-weapons capability over the next ten to fifteen years. The administration is relieved because, despite all of the saber rattling over a U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Washington was able to remove the nuclear file from the table through diplomacy. “This deal demonstrates that American diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change,” President Obama remarked in the East Room of the White House, “change that makes our country, and the world, safer and more secure.”
There is one person, however, that firmly and sincerely believes that the agreement that was signed by all of the parties is a bad one. And he represents the state of Israel, America’s closest ally in the Middle East: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
WNU Editor: I just do not see such an Israeli strike happening at anytime in the future. The Israeli political/intelligence/military community are divided on the threat that Iran presents, there is no support from Washington for such an attack, and the neighboring states will not be supportive of a prolonged campaign. There is also the question of logistics, having the proper intelligence, and whether or not the Israeli air force has the means to launch and sustain such a campaign. Again .... I do not see these issues being resolved or in place in the foreseeable future. This "Master Plan" is primarily based on hope and luck .... and there is not much of that either.
