Well, that, and scooping the muslims up like we've been.
It certainly makes sense now after reading this book.
They should start with Plum Island!
"...prediction as to when Israel will initiate action towards Iran?"
No idea. That is just what I believe might be happening. That makes more sense than us attacking Iran at this place in time.
OH and on the 18 months. Gen Case was on the news last night repeating that time frame. The pentagon has become like the rest of the federal, for that matter any, government.
They are all about maintaining the status quo which means no moving too fast... it rocks the boat.
What is needed in Iraq is a General Patton type. In the middle of the worst snow and ice storm in 50 years, he disengaged a division(+!), wheeled 180 degrees, traveled several hundred miles (snowed the whole time) and attacked in 72 hours (or something like that).
People like that get worked out of the system quickly. There are none left... who are still in the service.
