Netanyahu made that statement today. He first made it in 1992, when he was a mere MK and not the Prime Minister. That's twenty years of shuckin' and jivin'. How many times do you get to cry wolf?
Netanyahu's problem is that Iran still doesn't have a bomb. As long as there is no bomb, there is a window of opportunity. Notice how the R2P folks tend to leave North Korea alone? Sure, let the people eat grass. They have some sort of primitive nuclear device. We ain't gonna mess with them.
Once the Iranians have the bomb we're going to have to let them sit at the grown-up's table. That's what really bothers Netanyahu and his phalanx of cheerleaders in the US Senate. The ayatollas have delighted in poking us in the eye and giving us the finger ever since they kicked out our bumboy in '79 and took their country back.
Let's not forget that it was us that prodded the Beast of Baghdad into attacking Iran back in the '80's, a war that cost Iran at least half a million casualties. Let's not forget it was us who shot down an Iranian airliner in '88 with the loss of 290 civilians. Let's not forget. They haven't either.
Let's not forget that it was the Shah who started Iran's nuclear program. Back in the day of course it was a good nuclear program. We didn't have a problem with that. He was our guy.
Shock and awe. Shuck and jive. The bomb-Iran crowd is gonna to thrive.
