Oh, nothing in particular today, although I am concerned that Netanyahu really is losing his mind and may attack Iran.  Which would, of course, be disastrous.

I still dont see how that can be done, without travelling through airspace that is essentially controlled by US forces, and hence make the US utterly complicit in the attacks. Either that or end up shooting US aircraft to get them out of the way. Now I know that Israeli Forces have ended up shooting at US forces before, to no effect, but even a right wing Lunatic Like Bibi wouldn't be that mad, woud he?

There was a story a while back that the Saudis had given the IDF clearance to use their air space, which I think would eliminate the necessity of getting permission from the US, since they wouldn't have to pass through Iraq.

Can't see them getting permission with the US having all those troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, knowing what it would mean.

I wouldn't put it past the Israelis to shoot our people, of course, given that they've already done it before.  But only if they thought they could get away with portraying it as an accident, which I doubt they could.  That would probably be the end of Israel.

As for Bibi's sanity, well, I'm not so sure.  The fact that the idea of bombing Iran is spoken of at all is insane.  Even Bush demonstrated a knowledge of that with his actions, even if he couldn't help doing his cowboy thing.
