Looks like it's on!!!

From the Daily Express:

INTELLIGENCE chief Sir John Scarlett has been told that Saudi Arabia is ready to allow Israel to bomb Iran’s new nuclear site.

The head of MI6 discussed the issue in London with Mossad chief Meir Dagan and Saudi officials after British intelligence officers helped to uncover the plant, in the side of a mountain near the ancient city of Qom.

The site is seen as a major threat by Tel Aviv and Riyadh. Details of the talks emerged after John Bolton, America’s former UN ambassador, told a meeting of intelligence analysts that “Riyadh certainly approves” of Israel’s use of Saudi airspace.

==============================

The article goes on to state that the site was detected three years ago by British, U.S. and French intelligence sources. (It's not everyday that one gets to use the words French and intelligence in the same sentence) I'll have to admit that it was kind of scummy of Bush to pass this gig on to Obama, but "W" had a lot on his plate.

With the Saudi green light I'd say the chance of an Israeli strike on Iran is 100%. The politics in that area and why the Saudis would let an enemy like Israel use their airspace would take a mile long post to get into, but the bottom line is that the go ahead has been given.

Iran has perhaps one opportunity to stop an attack, but the way things are shaping up, I doubt they will do it.

If you can afford it, it may not be a bad time to start stocking up on supplies of food, water and such.
