Just another day: The thermonuclear variety

Let's see. When Iraq started toying with "nuclear power plants," Israel sent in an air strike bringing a punctuated halt to Sadam's desire for atomic energy.

This calendar year, Syria had a similar venture interrupted by the Israeli Air Force.

Seems the tiny nation, a nation bordered by rabid jackals, has little patience for its neighbors developing the ability to drop "canned sunshine" into downtown Capernaum.

So when Iran began its bluster these past couple of years thanks to the always jolly Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Israel began suggesting on the diplomatic front that that might not be such a good idea.

Ahmadinejad, like an undersized, sixth grade loudmouth backed down by the saner, more civil side of the sixth grade class, called in his bully big brother of the Russian variety, Alexander Putin. The bully big brother began shipping nuclear material to the elementary school. Uh-oh.

Earlier this week, our country, also one of the saner members of the sixth grade class, leaked that Israel executed an exercise of such magnitude that it was in fact strategizing about the termination of the Iranian wack-job's quest for the Big Heat, leaving Israel trying to figure out whose team we are on.

Analysis? This Breitbart headline sums it up nicely:

'Ball of fire' if Iran attacked

It does leave you wondering, though. Would Israel turn Iran into a ball of fire? Unlikely the pipsqueak could land a punch on its neighbor to the distant west. That would leave the bully big brother entering the fray and that's not out of the question either.

Keep your pages opened to Ezekiel 38 & 39 and stay tuned...
