Israel says all Iran options open; US seeks patience

So far, at least, U.S. Defense Secretary Bob Gates is resisting Israeli bluster by Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu for a military strike against Tehran, the baseline of the “all options are on the table” statements.

That said, if we can’t knock out off of Iran’s nuclear capacity with one strike, there’s no way Israel can. And, without U.S. permission to overfly Iraq, Israel can’t mount that good of an attack anyway.
