Surreal, but plausable.
The unintended consequence of the anti-war code pink vote.
There is no government. There is an election on. I’m not sure Olmert, who’s minding the store, has the legal right to initiate a war. I suppose if intelligence produced hard and fast evidence that it’s now or never, they could act, but Iran is not there yet. It’s not like 1981 when Begin bombed the nuclear plant in Iraq during an election when he was seeking re-election. For this to happen the three leaders Livni, Netanyahu, and Barak would have to interrupt their royal rumble to secretly agree on how to manage this. It doesn’t sound plausible.
