No, it's not propaganda, Iran has already defied 5 U.N. resolutions and 3 sanctions on enrichment, even Gates admits "No U.S. president has reached out more sincerely, and frankly taken more political risk, in an effort to try to create an opening for engagement for Iran," he said. "All these initiatives have been rejected."

Israel, Iran's most implacable foe, said Iran's enrichment plans are "additional proof of the fact that Iran is ridiculing the entire world."

It should be clear to everyone that you can't deal with someone when they want you wiped off the face of the earth. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will have to be dealt with sooner or later, as Hoot said, Israel should have the green light to defend themselves.

Isreal did send warplanes into Iraq back in the early 80's when they bombed and eliminated an Iraqi nuclear facility under construction. The problem with sending them into Iran (from what I've read) is that their fighters dont have the fuel capacity to return back to Isreal. I think it fair to assume that without US mid-air refueling assistance this would not be feasable. Is this administration prepared for an inevitable full scale middle eastern conflict, provided they did give that assistance?
