That is why I am inclined to think that the Israeli's would deal with the ''Iraq problem'' rather than the US, even though as you say the US would get the blame. Far better to deal with this behind the scenes with no overt aggression.

I was thinking not merely of the technical assistance but also the huge stockpile of nuclear materials that is illicitly available for sale in Russia.
