@Cpt. Charles: “Iran: judgment day is coming their way. Ironically, Russia’s actions in Georgia have opened that door. The EU’s current priorities are modifying even as we blog about it…”

Yet if we are to believe Caroline Glick’s latest column in The Jerusalem Post, “Our World: Iran’s American Protector”, the U.S. is doing everything possible to stop Israel from acting against Iran, let alone acting against Iran on our own. Her contentions seemed to be supported today by an article saying that the U.S. has declined to sell Israel the Boeing 767 jets Defense Minister Barak requested last month when he was in Washington. The 767′s could be used for the mid-air refueling most Israeli fighters would require in order to strike Iran.

Despite President Bush’s tough talk about Iran in general, and especially while he was in Israel not long ago, the reality of the matter is that he has chosen, up to now, for whatever reason, to allow his administration to be taken down the Brzezinski-Gates-Council On Foreign Relations-James Baker Commission Iran appeasement path. Sad but true: the actions of the Bush Administration contradict the President’s words. Will this change because of Russia’s actions in Georgia? Time will tell…..
