“It goes without saying that, should they do it, the election will be harder for Romney to win as the mantra will go out from the administration and from the media that you dont change horses in the middle of a global emergency.”
That’s what I have been thinking. And I am almost certain the the Israeli leadership must be in talks with Mitt.
Their chances are MUCH better with a Conservative US leadership. And win or lose, a Conservative President will stand by them...politically and militarily.
“O”, if he went along with an Israeli strike AT ALL, would cut them for bait at the first hint of failure.
“O’s” approval would be grudging, partial, conditional and lukewarm at best. The Israelis cannot risk THAT.

Just what I was saying to my parents yesterday.
Or Netanyahu is trying to help Romney by cintrolling the news cycle. As long as he rattles sabers the MSM cannot exclusively trash Romney. It has to focus on the Middle East and Obama’s lack of support. Netanyahu is forcing Obama to either support Israel which he won’t or to show support for the Muslims. I do not think it is about attacking before the elections and more about controlling the news cycle. As long as this potetntial for attack exists, the Democrat message gets lost in the noise and makes O look inept. Remember Netanyahu and Romney have known each other for 40 years. You don’t think there is some team work here?

Israel miscaculates to think he will support them if they attack before the election. He won’t. He will blame all the ensuing disasters on Israel. He’ll blame the GOP for encouraging BiBi.
Here are some disasters from the attack: Fall out from bombing Iran’s nuke facilities, retaliation from Syria which will probably expose our troops to poisonous gases along with Israel’s civilians and military, retaliation from Egypt’s MB, Russia’s military getting involved. In other words, this attack in Iran is not going to be the only action and reaction. Bam can easily turn the pubic (and the GOP) against Israel with all this and he will. He’ll come in as the guy above it all...
Israel risks the reality and if Bam gets a second term, he would lend US military support to the MB governments in the name of relocating Jews into the boundries Bam set for Israel in his peace agreement. Iran may still have their bomb. Jews will still be hated and threatened on less secure terrority than before.
