Does Israel Have The Military Might To End Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions? -- David Blair, The Telegraph

Benjamin Netanyahu could yet attack Iran, but his threat of war may be a bluff

Silence might be the only warning. If Israel were to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities from the air, its F-15 Eagles would not take off amid bellicose sabre-rattling; rather they would swoop on their targets as bolts from the blue.

My Comment: I have always argued that striking Iran was a "bridge too far" for the Israeli air force. That the threat of using force was always a bluff .... and one that Israel could not deliver by itself. Unfortunately .... it looks like Iran is now calling this bluff, and we in the West are staying quiet hoping that next month's nuclear talks in Moscow will resolve this crisis.

Here is an easy prediction .... next months Iran nuclear talks will end in failure.

Update: I seem to have spoken too soon .... it's already a failure.
