Proxy air force

From Haaretz:

Among the bombs the air force will get are 500 one-ton bunker busters that can penetrate two-meter-thick cement walls; 2,500 regular one-ton bombs; 1,000 half-ton bombs; and 500 quarter-ton bombs.

Iran's nuclear capabilities development may soon be hitting a bump in the road.

Unfortunately, Iran, for all the bloviating on the left and right about what they're doing and what Bush is doing about it, is not going to hit us with a nuclear bomb. And they're not going to hit Israel either. If they did, there would be a massive counter attack and not one minaret would be left standing.

The fundamentalists in Iran are demented, but they're not insane.

Iran wants the bomb -- the entire Arab world wants the bomb -- because Israel has the bomb.

But an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities by Israel -- using U.S. weapons -- will further underscore the Arab world's perception that we are on a crusade to keep them subservient and impovrished. And it will likely lead Iran to find other -- less formal, shall we say -- ways to further an entirely new and different nuclear ambition. Can you say "Dirty bomb?"
