I heard that also, and tend to believe the vast uninformed majority will support President Obama as a duty to be patriotic. I hope that you are right about PM Netanyahu.

[2001convSVT]

I agree we would definitely see higher oil prices, but now President Obama can blame it on the Iranians and his media will help.

Maybe. The dude has had over 3.5 years of sanctions to no avail. we here know his intent was always to allow them to have the bomb. Just do enough to make it difficult,to make it appear he was trying to stop them. Israel knows this too.

I’m hopeful....Netanyahu has taken the measure of that infection lodged in the White House. Bibi knows what he’s dealing with.

[nothingnew]

Hey Benjamin...git her done. Why Israel has waited so long is still a mystery to me. I know there is worldwide apprehension, but it will happen sooner or later. Git her done before "she" does it to you. Enough of this muslim take over the world crap!

I don't expect the muslim in chief to do anything to help you...do it yourselves.

I believe it. That’s exactly my point. Bibi is going to do what he thinks is best for Israel. If he feels keeping Obama mollified is better for Israel’s future than a pre-emptive attack on Iran is...well...I think he’s wrong but that’s what he’ll do.

He’s gotten The Official Obama Snub (tm) at least twice in three years. I honestly don’t think he cares what The Won thinks.

Maybe before the election is better than attacking in the lame-duck timeframe.

After the election, Obama can unmask and be as anti-Israel as he wants. Before the election, he has to consider what his actions will do to US public opinion.

Israel is too weak to attack and world opinion will turn against them. It was written along time ago that they will agree to a peace treaty before they get invaded.

[Future Snake Eater]

There’s also at least one major war that will be fought prior to that treaty, maybe two.

"The TV station’s military reporter Alon Ben-David, who earlier this year was given extensive access to the Israel Air Force as it trained for a possible attack..."

Things that make you go "Hummmm..."

Is it treason? A trial balloon? Speculation on the reporter's part?

The Kenyan must go.

[mulder1]

Attack not likely. Israel had trouble with Hamas fighters in a thirty day war recently and had to sue for peace.
