US secretary of defense is concerned Israel will launch an attack before Iran enters so-called "immunity zone" when military strike won't bust Iran's nuclear facilities, 'Washington Post' reports.

United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta believes that Israel will attack Iran in April, May or June, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

According to the report, written by the paper’s senior opinion writer David Ignatius, Panetta is concerned that Israel will launch an attack before Iran enters the so-called “immunity zone” when its nuclear facilities will be heavily fortified and a military strike will no longer succeed.

Let's see, Diane Feinstein "accidentally" let's it slip out that the Mossad was in a meeting with the administration, Panetta puts this out there, and Ban K. Moon was in Israel today trying to sell the Israelis that the Arab Spring was nothing to fear.

I think we have much to fear...

It is dismaying that we may have traitors running this country’s defense.

In other words, he's afraid that Israel may take out Iran's nuclear capability before they have the opportunity to fortify their facilities to withstand an attack. We have to get these people out of office ASAP!

Panetta is a Communist crook. Just the kind of guy Obama would pick to wreck the Defense Department and the armed forces.

“United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta believes that Israel will attack Iran in April, May or June, the Washington Post reported Thursday.”

Given that declaration, they’d better do it in March or July, or scrap the plan altogether and come up with a new one.

-———he’s afraid that Israel may take out Iran’s nuclear capability before they have the opportunity to fortify their facilities-——

Now think on that statement a moment. The action nor a result reflect positively on Obama.

Obama cares only about reelection.

Obama fears the Israelis will bomb and he will not be able to negotiate away the nuclear threat. He needs just a little more time and he will make them come around. Surely they will see his point of view if the IAF doesn’t screw it up for him

He will still get the overwhelming Jewish vote. They seem quite happy with him.
