Iran has never been so bold. It’s as is if we woke up to find ourselves in the second cold war. History is repeating itself. This war will be us fighting Russia. It appears the attack in Libya gave Obama a great excuse to move our troops into WWIII. All this and he still somehow manages to keep his liberal base. Hmmm. Odd to say the least. Everybody should do a little research on the second cold war.
This is weird, unless the statement was for home consumption only (but then the guy forgot about the whole global media landscape). It is weird because a lot of people have said that Israel's window of opportunity is only a few months wide, and given a win for Obama (God forbid) it may now only be some 40 days wide.
What this general does, is that he basically tells the Israelis that their opportunity is now. If they attack before the election, and Iran attaks US bases, there is no possibilty for Zero's administration to do anything but retaliate. However, post-election Zero will have much more "freedom of action" as he has said himself.
