Robert Gates: “The President has been very explicit and was very explicit I think in his speech that this remaining force will engage…”

I think it doesn't make strategic sense.

Such an attack would make a nuclear-armed Iran inevitable.

I think it would be a very heavy political lift for the president to say he's going to cut off military supplies to Israel unless they stop in Gaza.

I think there is a cost. I think it does provide a basis for radicalization in the region.
