A former head of Mossad has warned that Israel has 12 months in which to destroy Iran's nuclear programme or risk coming under nuclear attack itself. He also hinted that Israel might have to act sooner if Barack Obama wins the US presidential election.

Bolton said Israel will act after the election but before the inauguration. Makes sense to me.

If Israel strikes, and Iran shuts off the oil supply to the world market, we could have an energy crisis like never before seen. This is going to be a real mess. It could call for an emergency take over of some M.E. oil fields. We need to go back to drilling here in the US and using nuke power...

That’s why the US ( or Israel) should strike now and not in the fall or the dead of winter.

Indeed, it is why the RAT “oh, it will take too long” argument is so maddening. It isn’t a matter of if anymore; it’s a matter of when someone pops a nuke. Where really doesn’t matter (except to the folks local to it, of course). The markets will tank everywhere. And that’s only one reason to DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW.

No worries, Obama will talk to Ahmadinejad, and peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars.
Let’s all sing together...

There's no doubt Israel is ready to act. The only question is when.

Don’t worry. Obama will convince the Iranians not to develop the bomb.

No, no - the UN assured us that an Iranian bomb was at least 10 years away....

I believe a DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW campaign could really catch fire right now if somebody would do a good job organizing, spreading the word virally, etc. Shirts, bumper stickers, billboards, protests. I truly believe it’s something that could catch on in a big way and put major pressure on the idiots.

If it is going to take 10 years,
shouldn't we get started?

Drill here, drill now, pay less

Shabtai Shavit, an influential adviser to the Israeli parliament’s defence and foreign affairs committee, told The Sunday Telegraph that time was running out to prevent Iran’s leaders getting the bomb.

That view was echoed by Mr Shavit, who said: “If [Republican candidate John] McCain gets elected, he could really easily make a decision to go for it. If it’s Obama: no. My prediction is that he won’t go for it, at least not in his first term in the White House.”

He warned that while it would be preferable to have American support and participation in a strike on Iran, Israel will not be afraid to go it alone.

“When it comes to decisions that have to do with our national security and our own survival, at best we may update the Americans that we are intending or planning or going to do something. It’s not a precondition, [getting] an American agreement,” he said.

Shabtai Shavit and John Bolton agrees with what I have been posting for a while:

Bolton: Israel Will Strike Iran if Obama is Elected
newsmax.com ^ | June 25, 2008 | Rick Pedraza

Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 7:16:00 PM by Free ThinkerNY

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton believes Israel will stage a raid against Iran’s nuclear facilities if Democratic nominee Barack Obama wins the upcoming presidential election in November.

Bolton, often labeled a resolute neo-conservative, believes the Israeli attack would take place sometime between the day after Obama’s win and his inauguration on January 20 of next year.

In an interview with FOX News, Bolton says, “I think if they are to do anything, the most likely period is after our elections and before the inauguration of the next President.”

Bolton reasons Israel won’t be able to hold off a strike on Iran any longer than that given the Illinois senator’s intended foreign policy toward the Islamic Republic.
“I don’t think they [the Israeli government] will do anything before our election because they don’t want to affect it,” he says, adding, “They’d have to make a judgment whether to [strike] during the remainder of President Bush’s term in office or wait for his successor.”

What I have posting:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2035442/posts?page=25#25

The Obamination gets elected Potus, and it is January 20, 2009.

The Obamination has just said his version of being sworn in as Potus:

“ I do solemnly swear [or affirm] that I will not support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I will not bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will not faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me Allah. ”

As the Obamination starts to speak, his Pentagon guy, Muhammed Ragshead, with the football tells the Obamination, that shorty after he was sworn in, Israel destroyed the political and military assets of Iran and Syria. The Mossad has killed every al Queda leader in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Europe and America.
Also, Israeli leaders on world wide tv are showing and documenting the Obamination’s full Islamofascist connections and most of the rats in Congress. They have demanded the surrender of those members of Congress and the Obamination to Israel and Iraq for abetting the killing of innocent Israelis and Iranians by supporting Islamofascists.
George $oreA$$ and his family members and various phoney non profit leaders are in Israel at this time being tried as War Criminals.

At this time GW gets up with Laura, and they wave goodbye to the Obamination and his Obamabots as they leave for Texas.
