Informed sources in Washington tell Newsmax that Israel indeed will launch a strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities soon – possibly in just days as President George W. Bush prepares to leave office.

The reason: The time clock has begun to run out. Iran is close to acquiring a nuclear device under the control of its radical president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Makes sense. GWB will be out of office soon.This is what Iran and Russia want. They are preying for a conflict to get the oil prices up again.

FWIW, I would expect that if such a pre-emptive strike was to occur this week, we would not be reading about it until after the fact.

The stuff is going to hit the fan sooner or later and everyone had better be prepared the best they are able.

That’s what the IDF wants Iran to think.

Yep, Bush will soon be propping his feet up on a stool, sipping his favorite beverage and laughing while Obama tries to short circuit Israel from defending itself.

Remember when the Iran hostage crisis was solved in the very minutes AFTER inauguration of President Reagan?

I would not be surprised if the Iran nuclear crisis is solved in the very minutes BEFORE inauguration of Obama?

Israel will and should do what it needs to ensure its survival. Why wait for US approval?

If they are smart, they will do it before he leaves office that's for sure. Israel is so tiny and stuck over in there in the middle of all of those people that want to murder their entire country. I feel so bad for them and I'm afraid bo is going to throw them under the bus. There is no doubt he is not their friend.

That and with only 8 days left for any even limp support from the US... Since Obama is far more interested in protecting and negotiating with his spiritual brothers (Brothers United to Serve Satan - AKA - Muslims).

Maybe Biden should be sworn in as VP on the 19th of January — in Cheyenne Mountain.

Just because I think GWB has gotten a bad rap, even though he isn’t conservative enough for my taste, I hope Israel holds off long enough so that GWB doesn’t have this on his plate.

Are you trying to imply that if israel strikes, iran will unleash nukes on american soil?

How the hell does that make iran safe? Attacking america with nukes to retaliate against israel? That would be suicide. It would be followed by massive strikes on iran. Iran would vanish. Literally.
