Time for an Israeli Strike?
By John R. Bolton
Thursday, July 2, 2009
With Iran's hard-line mullahs and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
unmistakably back in control, Israel's decision of whether to use
military force against Tehran's nuclear weapons program is more urgent
than ever.
Iran's nuclear threat was never in doubt during its presidential campaign, but the
post-election resistance
raised the possibility of some sort of regime change. That prospect
seems lost for the near future or for at least as long as it will take
Iran to finalize a deliverable nuclear weapons capability.
Accordingly, with no other timely option, the already compelling
logic for an Israeli strike is nearly inexorable. Israel is undoubtedly
ratcheting forward its decision-making process. President Obama is
almost certainly not.
