I doubt that...  and if anything, it would hurt his party more than it would help it.

Obama's going to fix the flagging (to put it mildly) economy by getting stuck in with the Iranians as well? I don't think even he'd do that.

He still wants to give aminijihad a big hug to smooth everything out.

No chance the US attacks Iran... only possible attacker is Israel if that.
The Iranian regime has more of a chance of falling from internal fighting than any outside interference imo.

Who needs a land invasion when you can bomb them to oblivion?

Israel will attack first if anything.

This.

And then we'll have to play defense in the Gulf while Iran blames us for everything.

The only way Israel would be able to attack Iran is with US support. Of course you'll get the blame amongst other shitstorms if Israel attacks Iran. I still think the US has made too much progress/lost too much money and blood in Iraqistan to throw it all away by setting Iran on fire. Israel doesn't have the capability to attack Iran on its own.

i disagree - they have the capability to attack, they most likely don't have the capability to defeat, Iran.

The only way they'd be able to do it on their own is if they had loads of aircraft carriers, otherwise they'll need the support of other countries in the area. They won't really get to Iran without some sort of air passage/consent. It's unlikely that they'd be able to get to Iran without being detected by the countries they fly through if they were to try and do it covertly.

Saudi Arabia wouldn't risk letting Israel use their airspace to attack Iran. The US controls Iraq so they could allow Israel through but at the expense of just pissing everyone off in Iraq and probably starting a whole new war in that countrym which would end up killing even more US/Coalition soldiers for Israel. So I doubt they'd do that. Israel can't take the long way around using the sea. Really, there's no way they can do it without outside support.

I know I'm just arm chair military tactics, but looking at it in a simple way, they can't do it on their own. They don't have that level of force projection.

They've got a good military, Israel, but only in terms of dealing with their neighbours.

Not true. Israel can attack Iran without US support. It would just greatly increase risk and/or flight time for them.

Just look at a map. They have refueling tankers. There are multiple routes they can take that don't involve Iraq at all.
