Defiant Iran Sends Up Missile One Day Before Nuclear Reactor Fueling

A defiant and aggressive Iran wants to show it's strength by saying to the world we are one step closer to a nuclear weapon. Clearly the Obama administration is trying to play this down. They made a statement that they think we are one year dash time before Iran has nuclear weapons. They say one year is a long time. Not long enough in my mind as it could even come before then. And clearly Russia is trying to aid them in this. And how much is going on between them behind the scenes we don't know. This is coming down to bombing Iran or be bombed by Iran.
Here is Obama administration policy- we will extend an umbrella- in other words we will attack if they send off a  bomb. One bomb could wipe Israel off the map. This in my mind also shows clearly Obama does not want to face this. You cannot soft peddle this problem. He said recently that he would be OK with realizing that Iran would have nukes. This will send off an arms race in the middle east, as all the counties would feel they need to protect themselves.
I get the feeling they are trying to down play a serious situation. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is not worried about what Pres. Obama thinks. Right now his primary concern is to protect his own country. We got a little upset over some missiles aimed at us one time and why should Israel be any different.
I wonder how the previous administration would handle this. I kind of know by the stand a certain President took after 911.  Clearly this administration has different goals, but are they going to stand up in a serious situation like this. Is Obama willing to accept a nuclear Iran? Will Israel stand for it? Those are the two questions facing us today.

Will Attack on Iran by Israel be the August Surprise?

Every August we have some major event that happens and so far so good. But there is a problem looming everyday as Iran gets closer and closer to starting a nuclear reactor. Their goal is Aug. 21st. With Russia aiding them they say they will implant the rods in the nuclear reactor, they will not stop until this is done. Once the rods are in place an attack would cause the risk of spreading radiation and entering the waters of the Persian Gulf.
Pres. Obama is trying to get Russia not to deliver the rods. Russia says it will not stop until the rods are delivered and start this reactor this summer.  The rods may be used later by the Iranians to make nuclear weapons.
It is on the front of Israeli newspapers that they have plans to attack before Aug.21st., before rods are in place.
Israel has attacked before, Saddam Hussein, Osirah reactor outside of Baghdad and an reactor being built in  Syria in 2007.  The attacks were made before the completion of reactors.
After the reactor is functioning, then they can begin producing plutonium which is used for nuclear weapons. This has been a ten year battle with Iran and it does not help that the Russians are aiding them.
The next 4 days are crucial if President Obama can persuade them not to attack. Israeli Primeminister Netanyahu has a hard choice before him. The President is trying to encourage the Russians to take the rods back once they are in place. But will Israel believe them that they are still not in Iran.
