Blair says Israel and Iran are likely to enter into a confrontation or crisis this year. What? War? A confrontation at the UN? What is always interesting about these reports and what Blair and other are quoted as saying is nonsense. Let`s get real. If Israel decides to attack Iran, the planes will have to fly round trip of 2000 miles. F-16s cannot do that. They need refueling in mid-air. Where? Over Iraq or Saudi Arabia? Good luck. Here`s another solution. Fly to Iran with smaller payloads. Right. Israeli so called leaders either don`t understand the realities of such an air war, or they are idiots. The bottom line here is that the U.S. will not support Israel in such an venture and without the air tanks ready to top off the Israeli jets, the whole thing is just nonsense. The world will have to accept the simple fact that Iran, if if wants will end up producing an atomic bomb. North Korea has them. Pakistan has them. India has them, China has them, and Israel has them!
