Well, if anyone needed to use Saudi airspace for a strike on Iran they'd probably get permission now

3. Probably not. What once was a lead zeppelin might now be a trial balloon.

Why not against Iran?

9. 9/28/11 - POTUS Obama approves the sale of bunker-busters to Israel that alarms ME

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- The disclosure that U.S. President Barack Obama approved the sale of 5,000-pound bunker-buster bombs to Israel, which wants them for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear installations, has sent ripples of alarm across the Middle East, including Israel itself.

Fears that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, a right-wing hawk who has vowed to eliminate what hard-liners view as an existential Iranian threat to the Jewish state, could order a pre-emptive strike, have been emblazoned in headlines run by the liberal daily Haaretz in recent days.

"Netanyahu's messianism could launch attack on Iran," said one.

"Netanyahu must be stopped from attacking Iran," declared another.

Fifty-five U.S.-made bunker-busters, designated GBU-28 Hard Target Penetrators, were secretly delivered to Israel in 2009

The USA or Israel would be insane attack Iran so probably won't happen.

The WH and Congress should STFU with the sabre-rattling IMO.

11. Hell, you could probably get Saudi Arabia to launch the airstrikes themselves

No secret the Saudis don't like Iran.
