I tend to agree with Hodja there. In their mind, the ends do justify the means. Never forget that we are the Infidels to the one true religion.
In the back of my mind, I have wondered if all this public discussion about Iran and it's nuclear program, and what should be done about it, wasn't some kind of strategy to bait Iran into revealing more than they intend to. I wondered if we were trying to draw them out.
I do know that Israel has been pretty hysterical about Iran for years now. Been in a lot of meetings where it would be raised by Israel, whether it was on the agenda or not. Of course, they probably have good reason; but if they seriously wanted to hit Iran, they would do so. Which is what started me thinking. Granted the US wouldn't want Israel to do that, but by discussing it in public forums, it puts the US in the role as putting the brakes on Israel. We would likely have to be involved at this point in time because of the mid-air refueling. I think I read the other day that Israel does not yet have that capability.
It just feels like there is a lot more going on behind the scenes. Maybe they are hoping that the prospect of Israel attacking Iran would goad the Iranian people into overthrowing the current regime. And maybe part of the Iranian rhetoric has to do with trying to keep their people from engaging in a "Persian Spring".
Without seeing the intell, it's pretty hard to figure it out. But whatever anyone is currently thinking, it is probably wrong.
