I saw this comment by retired Army Col. Peter Mansoor in a post over at Tom Rick’s blog.
Not a pretty picture to contemplate, but a likely scenario. Despite the crowd of academics in the United States that says we can live with an Iranian bomb, Israel will not allow the Iranians to go nuclear — at least, not while a Holocaust denier who has made pointed threats against the Jewish state remains in power.
Now I’mjust thinking out loud here… Makes me wonder if someone is saying something along the lines of, “Listen, we can avoid dorpping bombs. All we have to do is take out this Ahmadinejad nut job. So lets get someone on making sure that he accidentally falls down the stairs on purpose.”
