If I were a Palastinean terrorist or Syrian, Iranian, or Egyptian, this is when I would attack.
They have a supporter in the White House and the last time Israel made a half hearted push against Hezbollah in Lebanon, they did not fare too well.
The only thing which might be keeping them from doing so is that if it looks like they would succeed in wiping Israel out, they would get nuked. No fair person could blame Israel for doing so either.
This is where I think the significance of OBL plays in. Nothing will happen before the next election. I think it entirely plausible that OBL was traded for Isreal after a victory in the 2012 election.
I agree that any attack of Israel should come when BHO is President. The Muzzies probably should wait until there is a troop drawdown from the region.
