1. The Blackmail Option: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert held a secret meeting [ http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/29/israelandthepalestinians.middleeast ] recently at his home. Present were top cabinet officials and someone who has plenty of experience of the sort that interests the Israelis at the present moment: Aviam Sela, who headed up Operation Opera [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera ], the 1981 air strike against Iraq's Osirak nuclear facility. It was a bold and decisive blow against Israel's mortal enemy, which set the Iraqis back (though it drove them [ http://www.antiwar.com/wanniski/?articleid=2721 ] to create an underground program that actually was for the purpose of developing nuclear weapons by the time of the first Gulf War 10 years later). What Olmert wanted to know was whether it could be repeated in the case of Iran.

Yet no one should assume that Israel intends to act alone. An Israeli strike against Iran would be but a prelude to a much wider conflict, one that would invariably [ http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/002145.php ] draw in Israel's one and only ally – us.
