Well...it's not really 'alone'. For Israel and the U.S. are quite attacked at the hip, very much politically and strategically married, whatever the reasons. With the Senate Intelligence Committee adding fuel to the fire by asserting that at least 10 of the 19 who attacked the U.S. on 9/11 had 'traveled' through Iran on their way to Saudi Arabia on their way to the U.S. the public relations aspects are being addressed even as the military planners are no doubt very hard at work into planning just how they are going to do it....and how they are going to get away with it.
