Oren's Dire Warning

The Jerusalem Post reported that new Israeli ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, sending an unmistakable signal in a public American forum, has stated that if Iran realizes her nuclear aims, she could destroy Israel in a matter of "seconds". Then a report emerges that Saudi Arabia, which is not only the home of Mecca, but the leader of the Sunni world, might not object to Israeli overflights to remove a Shia menace rising with atomic weapons in the hands of the Mullahs. Finally Joe Biden, on a visit to the Middle East, basically condones Israel squelching Ahmadinejad-encouraging the Jewish state to stand up for itself. Of course, Oren might be posturing to initiate movement by the US or the world aimed at curtailing the Iranian nuclear program, or he could be explaining that a casus belli already exists, presaging future Israeli military action. The Saudis may have tacitly or overtly approved Israel's potential act to rid a regional threat if the report on the Saudis is not in error. Arabs have been at odds with Persia for millennia. Joe Biden is given to frequent bouts of verbal diarrhea so this could be mere slip of lip, or the Vice President could be enunciating administration policy that while America will not act to stop Iran, if Israel does, she has US blessings. In any event, Iran has revealed her true face and the world, while it may not be ready to confront, may be ready to hold the coat for any nation or entity that will effect regime change in Tehran.
