Tough Talk from both Sides on Iranian Nukes

It looks like we will at least have some sort of bipartisan effort when it comes to the possible use of force to stop the Iranians from going nuclear.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said all options, including military force, should be on the table. But, he said that for now, the United States and European countries must do everything possible to secure the support of China and Russia to take Iran before the Security Council, and then stake out "a tough posture" that includes sanctions.

While from the right side of the isle:

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said diplomatic efforts must be exhausted before turning to the "last option," the use of force.
"There's only one thing worse than the United States exercising a military option, and that is Iran having nuclear weapons," the No. 2 Republican on the
Senate Armed Services Committee said on "Fox News Sunday."

I think we need to let the Israelis handle this one. We took out Iraq for them. They should work on Iran for us. The US should give them all the support they need. But let them get rid of the biggest threat to their safety and continued existence since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
