Netanyahu VS Obama VS Iran.........

I think it is fine that Netanyahu is making the speech to Congress but generally I don’t agree with him. I don’t agree with Obama either. They are both wrong.
This idea that Netanyahu making a speech is going to change anything (or ruin something) is silly. He can make a speech as this is a free country.
Nothing in this process needs to be a secret as far as I can tell. “Oh he better not reveal any details”…..Why not? What is all the secrecy about? If it is a good deal then come out and tell us.
In a free and open country Obama sure likes it to not be free or open.
The bottom line in Netanyahu is desperate. This whole deal is going down and he is powerless to stop it.
When Iraq had a Nuclear program Israel flew in and blew it up. When Syria had a nuclear program Israel flew in and blew that up too. The only reason Israel isn’t flying into to Iran is because they can’t do it.
Iran is very far away and their nuclear program is spread out over multiple sites across the country. Most of it is buried deep underground. Even if they could fly there they would need a bomb big enough to take out underground facilities. But they have no such weapon.
The United States does have such weapons though. We have been developing it for just this purpose.
Even if the US gave one of these bombs to Israel they need a plane that can deliver it. You cannot hang a 30,000 lb bomb under the wing of an F-16. It won’t work. You need heavy lift bombers. Those bombers need to be stealth. You need mid air refueling. You need naval assets to launch tomahawk missiles to remove radar. It is a huge complicated operation and Israel is not equipped to pull it off alone.
What Israel has done is send in assassins to kill Iranian scientists. They have pulled off killings that could be right out of a James Bond film. A Motorcycle rides up next to a car and attaches an explosive device, which blows up and kills the scientist inside. They have done that kind of thing multiple times.
The Stuxnet Computer Virus is another attempt to derail the nuclear program. Have the centrifuges run faster than they are supposed to (while all the gages read as normal) and the centrifuges repeatedly break down.
None of these things will stop Iran.
In 2003 Bush gave his axis of Evil speech labeling North Korea, Iran, and Iraq the problem children of the world. We went to war with Iraq and they had nothing. North Korea has since obtained Nuclear Weapons. The US did nothing about that. Iran will soon have them as well. The United States will do nothing about that either. Just like we did nothing about Pakistan getting them. Or India getting them. It is easy to say we will not allow this to happen but it is a lot harder to do something that stops it.
In 2015 The United States has no more appetite for additional conflicts. Today Libya is a mess. Egypt has issues. Iraq is a mess. Afghanistan is a mess. Yemen is a mess. Somalia is a mess. Pakistan has problems. There is just no way the United States is going to pursue another war.
Netanyahu and Israel just have to accept that Iran is going to get Nuclear Weapons. It is just a question of when.
