Obama To Extend Nuclear Umbrella To Israel?
Haaretz is reporting today that Barack Obama intends to extend the U.S. nuclear umbrella to Israel:
U.S. President-elect Barack Obama’s administration will offer Israel a “nuclear umbrella” against the threat of a nuclear attack by Iran, a well-placed American source said earlier this week. The source, who is close to the new administration, said the U.S. will declare that an attack on Israel by Tehran would result in a devastating U.S. nuclear response against Iran.
The article goes on to make the point that a suggestion like that could only mean that Obama is preparing to accept Iran as a nuclear power. Which would mean that all his rhetoric about it being “unacceptable” for Iran to possess nuclear weapons was just that — rhetoric.
Israel should not accept an Iran with nuclear weapons. If diplomacy ultimately fails (which it will) then Israel should attack Iran’s nuclear sites with or without our help. What good does it do to promise a nuclear retaliation against Iran once they’ve already nuked Israel? We would turn Iran into dust, but all the Jews would still be dead.
The concept of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) only worked during the cold war because it was between two rational countries. Iran is run by Islamic fundamentalists who would gladly give their own lives to exterminate the Jews.
