Well, there is no doubt in my mind that Mossad will get another Eli Cohen inside Syria, if they don't have him there already. Iran is far more complex than Iraq was in 1981 when the IAF flew a strike mission in to destroy a nuclear reactor being built by Sadam. Too many facilities spread out over too wide an area, in Iran.

That is why intelligence is key, because information on each target is required. But after the first strike and/or act of sabotage, Israel is going to have a war with Iran on its hands. Natanyahu is a military man, so surely he has to realize that whether the Israeli Defense Establishment does anything or not, both countries are on the road to war with each other. Question is, will Israel make use of it's nuclear warheads, or not
