Panetta Adds to Bluff

Leon Panetta, being interviewed by ABC News' Jake Tapper, made clear the Pentagon has plans to bomb the blazes out of Iran should diplomacy fail to solve their nuclear weapon development blitz. The bluff goes on.

Both the U.S. and Israel have been threatening Iran with bombing should they not agree to stop the bomb development. So far the bluff hasn't succeeded. Iran agreed to talks but continues the weapon development.

Methinks Iran is the better poker player; they believe the other side (U.S., Israel) don't want to bomb. I think they're right. The Iranians keep stringing the game out, buying time.

One day soon they'll test a nuke somewhere in their copious deserts and the game will be over. They'll have their nuke and the whole power game in the Middle East will change dramatically ... in their favor.
