With Obama’s Syrian Crawfish, the Israeli attack on Iran will have to be decisive


To be sure the USA had no reason to be involved in Syria. Lindsay Graham and McCain are simply 100% wrong that we can save the King of Jordan by US action on the ground in Syria, or in the air. As stated previously, the only interest we have is in destroying or controlling (via possession though special forces operation ..less likely) the chemical and biological weapons.
The problem is that during the campaign against Romney, in order to appear NOT LIKE who he really is, Obama used the absurd RED LINE meme over Syrian use of chemical weapons. Now that this bluff of the american people, whom he successfully euchred and whom, in fact do NOT want us in Syria,  worked we can see it has FAILED against those who have something at stake.
Assad or the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda revolt use? Does it matter?
What matters is what the mullahs, Kim, Valery, the Chinese and our other valuable allies at risk in Korea, Israel, Japan, Taiwain and the Phillipines among other places (including, incredibly and very dangerously AUSTRALIA, yes, AUSTRALIA..really) are asking.
If chemical weapons have been used in Syria (and the Israelis have presented compelling evidence .among others) .. and Obama is seen to simply crawfish while crawling backwards in the 2013 version of the WORM on his RED LINE, what conclusion is reached in Iran  and then in Tel Aviv about thoughts in Tehran?
I have argued now for years that any attack made by Israel on Iran’s nuclear program will NOT BE CONVENTIONALLY CARRIED OUT.
Israel announced Wednesday, the successful test of a Jericho III ICBM with a range of 4000 kilometers, approximately 2,500 miles. Yaakov Katz, Jerusalem Post military analyst, commented in an article today, “Rattling the Cage”:

“The Israel Air Force announced that it had returned from a week of joint maneuvers with Italy over Sardinia that included long-range flights, midair refueling and complicated bombing runs. On Thursday, the Home Front Command held a large-scale civil defense exercise aimed at preparing the public for missile attacks in the center of the country.”

The Jericho III ICBM equipped with a nuclear warhead provides Israel with a powerful deterrent against a nuclear Iran. It gives Israel a credible Electronic Magnetic Pulse (EMP) capability to loft a low kiloton yield warhead to an apogee over Iran that upon detonation would destroy the country’s industrial infrastructure, frying motherboards of hundreds of thousands of computers, disabling telecommunications, transportation and industrial systems.

According to veteran Iran watcher, Ken Timmerman, President and CEO of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, that possibility was confirmed by ex-CIA case officer Chet Nagle at a Capitol Hill EMPact America press conference in Washington, DC on Tuesday, the day before the Jericho III test was announced.

Doubtless an Israeli EMP attack would cause thousands of whirling centrifuges enriching uranium at the Natanz cascade hall and the Bushehr nuclear plant producing plutonium to be shut down. It might spare Iran’s vital oil and natural gas producing region in the Gulf. It would free Iran’s restive people from the nuclear nightmare of the Mullahs.

If the EMP apogee was low enough, then according to Timmerman, it would largely spare Iran’s agrarian rural areas and the country’s bread basket. The Islamic regime and industrial infrastructure concentrated in the Tehran region could collapse. Moreover, he said, the neighboring Gulf region would be spared collateral effects.
DEFENSE UPDATE:
Jericho III is also believed to carry multiple independent reentry vehicles (MIRV), each carrying thermal protection to withstand the atmosphere reentry phase of the flight and employing terminal guidance to achieve high precision strike. In practical terms, with their high accuracy, MIRV offer the use of low-yield warheads, achieving more effective effect against multiple targets.
No risk to pilots.
No refueling issues.
No overflights.
No contact with US pilots or aircraft.
Very low if ANY direct casualties.
All Iranian resources will then have to be directed towards saving the people and the state.
OR….
DEFENSE UPDATE:

Israel’s Navy Receives the Fifth Dolphin Submarine

“INS Rahav” will arrive in Israel during the course of 2013, upon the completion and installation of its relevant systems.  It is considered one of the most advanced and sophisticated submarines in the world, and will be Israel’s most expensive piece of military equipment. Israel’s first three Dolphin-class submarines are believed to be some of the most advanced diesel-electric submarines in the world. The fourth submarine Tanin, the first of the new generation Dolphin II subs, wasdelivered about a year ago, on May 2012.
It fires missiles.
Any questions?
All these actions are MORE likely because IMHO, not one mullah, and CERTAINLY not Khameini believes Obama a serious person in this vein.
Australia has said ‘the U.S. would be ill advised to take their participation for granted’ in action against China.
If even in places like Australia they are wondering why they should blindly follow our lead, if their benefit is not now more with neutrality or China than the USA, can there be any doubt about what is being considered for policy in Tehran? In Beijing? In Pyongyang? In Moscow? 
In these considerations can we see the result of a weaker USA.
Many will tut-tut these thoughts. I am not saying the sky is falling, I am saying the roof leaks threaten the insulation, the trusses and the ceiling, and without remedial action …..
In every manner possible the people of the USA face a more worrisome future from outside these borders as a result of the ideas and policies of Mr. Obama.
PERIOD.
