Could be misinformation to keep the Iranians off balance.

The fact that they keep announcing intentions to striek means it is designed to publicly stand their ground and try to convince the Iranian regime that if they try to use nukes on them they will fight back with everything they have. Wars generall do not get started with this kind of announcement. There’s a saying that goes “Revolutions announced in advance” do not happen-the same is generally true for wars. And I know some posters think Israel might not wait for a new president but can they ? Israel just cannot take on a nation the size of Iran head on unless they can count on unconditional US support of war breaks out. And right now they just cant.

There's a New Moon the day after Thanksgiving. Israel could hit 'um earlier.

Israel has lots of nukes...they wouldn't need to use and lose pilots. Small nukes may be the only way to insure success.

Or Israel could devastate Iran's defenses and soften-up the hardened sites using conventional ICBMs and cruise missiles, then send in the IAF with all the bunker-busters we sold them to complete the missions.

3 to 6 days tops. Maybe?

If so Obama screwed it up dissing Israel in public on a live microphone the other day.Maybe Obama did it on purpose as a special message to his people the muslim brotherhood terrorists around the world.

Nothing like the element of surprise to keep people on their toes.
