Playing Games - Iran

The New York Times: Reports on the stalling strategy of Iran, the article states the following on Iran's response to the UN's IAEA, " Tehran’s reply was couched in terms the United States and its allies have already dismissed, according to Iranian accounts and diplomats. ". Thus folks we are in a holding pattern, Iran will play the clock out in till it gets the bomb, the Obama Administration will press for tough sanctions from the UN, while China goes at a slow place. Lets be honest folks it really depends how far Iran has got with the bomb, if its years away then the West can play this game but if Iran is a lot closer to the bomb then that is very different case. When it comes to intelligence on Iran's nuclear development I would trust the Mossad not the the CIA or MI6, at the end of the day Israel will have to decide what its in its national security interest, if Iran is close to getting the bomb then Israel will have to act, the question President Obama has to ask, is it better for the region for Israel to attack or Iran or the USA. At the end of the day if there has to be an attack on Iran it would be better if it was the USA. The Tehran Regime would know that if it goes overboard the USA would wipe Iran from the face of the earth, thus Tehran would react but at a lower scale, more terrorists attacks in Iraq, more support for the terrorists in the region, for them to attack Israel. It can be postulated that Iran would not attack the USA due to the above or allow major operations against the USA, as stated the USA would take out Iran. In till then folks a time for games and tedious game playing, before the balloon goes up.
