Hours after it was announced that Defense Minister Ehud Barak has approved IDF Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Benny Gantz's decision to appoint Major-General Amir Eshel as the next IAF commander, colleagues congratulated the decision, saying he is the right man for the job.
Referring to the possibility that Eshel would be the one overseeing an IAF military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, the officer said: "He'll know how to prepare the forces in the most meticulous and perfect manner, and lay out all the possible scenarios and chances of success."

Hopefully that was you being sarcastic because they don't want to kill anyone except in self defense from attack.

I agree and disagree. Oil is incredibly important but the real issue is AIPAC and Israel's manipulation of our military machine to wipe out their enemies, currently Iran, and if you look at the last thirty or so years, the goal has always been Iran for the U.S. and Israel. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are allies and Saddam was until he used the weapons we gave him on his own people instead of Iran. No other regional country could really threaten us.
Iran isn't the model country, but they are not Nazi Germany in the 1930s either. Attacking Israel would be suicide no doubt, and judging by our aggression their build up of defenses and their own development of propaganda to counter others as well as nuclear research is all a response rather than an aggressive ploy.
We have enough natural gas to last the next one hundred years as well as some new oil finds which may put us ahead in the near future when the mid-east and other areas are depleted. This isn't to say peak oil-post tense-may not bring about small resource wars globally. It would be surprising if we go over the amount we produced globally in 2005, but some, shall we say soon to be discovered (5-10 years max), fields in the Gulf may make America the world leader in oil production again someday.
I think that down the line rare earth minerals will become sort of like oil now, if technology continues to develop exponentially (if a devastating event such as nuclear/biological war or some black swan doesn't occur in the next 25 or so years). China has all the position on those...

...and millions go from AIPAC to our leaders every year, look up how many of them take money from AIPAC, its a large majority. Does the military decide when it goes to war? No. But yes we also give them weapons and money constantly. A few former CI.A. analysts have said that Israel controls our mid-east policy and I'm inclined to believe them, based on what I can see, and quite a bit of evidence.
