Price of oil has never had much to do with supply/demand but rather speculation. Hell you will pay an extra dime when someone draws a picture of Muhammad. I agree lifting sanctions won't move it but if Israel hits Iran especially with Saudi support, I think the fireworks will be impressive. Even Turkey, a NATO member is moving toward an Islamist stance. It would be worth a beer bet over how long it takes for a regional war to break out (outside of the one going on now).

Didn't they cooperate before when Israel attacked a nuclear reactor in Iraq back in 1981?
I believe we should lead the strike against any middle east country that develops nukes without allowing UN arms inspections. Maybe we should start a tour of each country mentioned in the posts above, and see what we find.
Perhaps a little more transparency would avert a war. (I'm sure that will disappoint a lot of folks, though)

Other than allowing Israel to overfly their territory, did they assist/cooperate in any way? If so, I don't remember that.
I had that backwards.
Actually, I think Obama has overplayd his hand this time. He's getting REALLY upset that Benji is coming to talk directly to Congress, circumventing him entirely. If Benji starts talking directly to Saudi Arabia about Iran, that signals a further erosion of Obama's control over Israel. Obama couldn't wait to snub Israel and he's done it as often as he can so far. Now that may be coming around to bite him.
I still say we should neither pay for nor control Israel. Obama may turn it to paying a little less, with no control whatsoever. Good times!
According to the Late Great Ariel Sharon, Israel dictates American policy, not the other way around. A quick study of AIPAC and their employees (our congress) will show he's mostly correct.
