Iran makes an attack on it necessary although the Left will make it VERY difficult.

Iranian president raises stakes against IsraelBy Parisa Hafezi and Firouz Sedarat
TEHRAN (Reuters) – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad raised the stakes against Israel on Friday and called the Holocaust a lie, just as world powers try to decide how to deal with the nuclear ambitions of an Iran in political turmoil.
"The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false ... It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim," he told worshippers at Tehran University at the end of an annual anti-Israel "Qods (Jerusalem) Day" rally.
"Confronting the Zionist regime is a national and religious duty." ...Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah which fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006, defended Ahmadinejad and said he was criticized for supporting "the 'resistance', the people of the region and Palestine.""Our belief and creed ... remain that Israel is an illegal entity, a cancerous tumor, that must cease to exist," he said in a televised address.... a proposal that spoke generally of talks on political, security, international and economic issues but was silent on its nuclear program. Diplomats familiar with the Iranian proposal said it was vague and did not appear to pass "the smell test." ... Next month's major powers talks with Iran offer no clear relief to Israel, ...sees Russia and China blocking any such resolution at the U.N. Security Council.***And Venezuela's Chavez guarantees 20K bbls of refined gasoline per day to Iran.****
How far will the U.S. go to support Iran and hinder Israel? Zbig (Carter's National Security Advisor --almost single-handedly responsible for the Taliban in Afghanistan--and, together with Jimmy, an anti-Semite and anti-Israel zealot) would go to war -- with Israel!
Subject: Brezinski Calls for Obama to Shoot Down Israeli Jets September 20, 2009.
In a little noticed interview with the Daily Beast (presumably little noticed because serious people don't read the Daily Beast), Zbigniew Brzezinski suggests that Barack Obama do more than just refuse to support an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites -- the American president must give the order to shoot down Israeli aircraft as they cross Iraqi airspace:
DB: How aggressive can Obama be in insisting to the Israelis that a military strike might be in America’s worst interest?
Brzezinski: We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?
DB: What if they fly over anyway?
Brzezinski: Well, we have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse.
Contrary to Brezinski's half-hearted disclaimer that no one wishes for such an outcome, there are plenty on the left who would delight in a pitched battle between the United States and Israel. Democrats in Congress routinely support resolutions affirming Israel's right to take whatever steps it deems necessary to assure its own national defense. And Obama has at least paid lip service to the concept. But hostility to Israel among the rank and file is very real on the left -- and among "realists."
So conjure the image -- the Obama administration sending U.S. aircraft up toprotect Iran's airspace and it's nuclear installations from an attack by a democracy that is one of America's closest allies. Unfortunately, this may not be so hard to imagine in Israel, where the number of people who believe Obama is pro-Israel is at just 4 percent -- and falling. And given Obama's (literally) submissive posture to the Saudis, his indulgence of the Iranians, and his simultaneously hard-line approach to Israel, it seems even some of Obama's supporters can savor the possibility of a "reverse Liberty."
