Ephraim Sneh Says Israel to Attack Iran By December if West Does Not Impose Sanctions

Is this why Binyamin Netanyahu was secretly hanging out in Russia with Putin last week? Apparently, Israel is ready to drop bombs over Tehran and elsewhere if the West does not enforce sanctions.

Israel will be compelled to attack Iran's nuclear facilities if Western powers do not impose serious sanctions against Teheran by the end of 2009, former deputy defense minister Ephraim Sneh said on Wednesday.

"We cannot live under the shadow of an Iran with nuclear weapons," he was quoted as telling Reuters in an interview on a visit to the UK. "By the end of the year, if there is no agreement on crippling sanctions aimed at this regime, we will have no choice."

Does Iran even have nuclear weapons? I seem to remember Bush saying the same thing in 2003 when he wanted to avenge his father in Baghdad.

Laser wars. Nothing, but laser wars.
