Not just that, but what plan is there for afterwards?

If the strikes happen, what is the follow-up military/diplomatic response to keep nukes out of Iran?
What if the strikes fail to stop a nuclear Iran?
Response to last question, do you then commence more strikes or invasion?
What if Israel goes it alone with America's knowledge or consent?
If that happens, how will they help the Americans that become targets of terrorism for something they're not even in league with?

There's more, but I'm too depressed to consider them.

If they really do this without our support, Obama should grow a apair and do in response as Eisenhower told Israel/UK/France over the Suez Canal: No Thank You. It might cost him the election, but god dammit you're the Commander-in-Chief of the American Armed Forces. You don't take your orders from a foreign government, much less pander to their little games.

The whole idea of a nation the size of New Jersey bullying a big nation like America into war is just fucked up. Even with our "stupid" wars, America went into them willingly by initiative or response.
