Israel doesn't shout about its red lines - it just gets on with things.

Before too long Israel will knock out Iran's nuclear programme although it may need help from USA to supply refuelling aircraft for Israeli aircraft on long distance bombing missions.

Ultimately I don't think that much is going to happen here, there is no appetite for military action, as never was. If Obama hadn't made his 'red-line' speech then we would of done nothing about this.

As a side note, if the West doesn't do something about Iran's nuclear programme, Israel will!
Well I think John Kerry as got Obama out of the situation with the "red line" statement. The Russians have jumped on the statement that he made that western military action would be avoided if the chemical weapons were to be handed over. About time the 2nd most powerful nation did something constructive.

I absolutely agree with this, if they feel genuinly threatened, Tehran will be an ashtray and personally I couldn't give a ****.

This still stands I think.
