<"If, in fact, the Israelis became convinced the Iranians had a significant nuclear capability, given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that their objective is the destruction of Israel, the Israelis might well decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards.">

If Iran's objective is via a violent attack, then that's a declaration of war and Israel might as well go on the attack any time now.

It would be better of course for Israel to support a revamped UN to take control of the situation and prevent Iran's threat being enacted by diplomatic or military action. But in the dog eat dog world we seem to be stuck in, they might as well cut to the chase and deal with the problem now.

That's assuming that Cheney's comment is true. The little boy crying wolf in Iraq was wrong previously, so why should we believe his "intelligence", snigger, now?
