Israel stands ready to bomb Iran's nuclear sites
   
Source: Times Online

The Israeli military is preparing itself to launch a massive aerial assault on Iran's nuclear facilities within days of being given the go-ahead by its new government.

Among the steps taken to ready Israeli forces for what would be a risky raid requiring pinpoint aerial strikes are the acquisition of three Airborne Warning and Control (AWAC) aircraft and regional missions to simulate the attack.

Two nationwide civil defence drills will help to prepare the public for the retaliation that Israel could face.

“Israel wants to know that if its forces were given the green light they could strike at Iran in a matter of days, even hours. They are making preparations on every level for this eventuality. The message to Iran is that the threat is not just words,” one senior defence official told The Times.

6. Israel going rogue.... again
 I don't see why they're supported. Their government is bat-shit crazy.


Oh brother... :whatever: I'd wager most over there believe this too.

Despite the basic differences of their Parliamentary system from ours and the absence of the State-Federal issue there, there is one huge point of commonality - a fairly even split in the electorate which leads to dramatic and weird changes of policy every so often and on relatively short notice when the government changes hands.  But crazy, they're not.
