This seems like a really good idea... Nobody – especially the Iranian leadership – really believes that Obama would ever use our military to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Everybody – especially the Iranian leadership – believes that Israel would use their military.
The fly in the ointment is that Israel has very limited means to project its military power in Iran. Not zero means, but far less than the U.S. has – mainly because it lacks long-range bombers.
So here's the idea: sell or lend Israel some B-52 bombers that we have mothballed. Israel + B-52s = military deterrent that the Iranian leadership would believe.
Oh, yes. Let's do it now!
