Crunch time is coming in Iran, but President Obama and his men act as if they’re at the senior prom, trying to dance the minuet without anyone to dance with.
The White House is trying desperately to rewrite Leon Panetta’s interview with David Ignatius of The Washington Post, where he was said to believe Israel is likely to bomb the Iranian nuclear-weapon works “in April, May or June,” before Israel enters a “zone of immunity.” This is girlie-man language for “before it’s too late.”
“Very soon,” the columnist wrote from his notes of the interview, “the Israelis fear the Iranians will have stored enough enriched uranium in deep underground facilities to make a weapon — and [then] only the United States could stop them militarily.”
This could sound like a warning to the Iranians to straighten up and do right unless they want a lesson in the perils of not getting along with your neighbors. But this was not a warning to Tehran, but to Jerusalem. President Obama and the secretary of defense have told Israel they oppose any bombing of Iran, risking a “zone of immunity” or not, because the sanctions are really working and they must not say upsetting things to Iran. And if sanctions ultimately don’t work, someone at the White House will write a strong letter to the editor urging everyone to be nice.

Crunch time - Barack is two shots off par and his ball is still on the fairway.
He’s run out of mulligans. His ass needs to be kicked of the course for etiquette violations..
Israel has no choice - they will attack Iran and soon.
In my opinion, Hussein is an Arab Islamic communist whose goal is to destroy this country. He says he wants “fairness” with everyone contributing his “fair” share. Stalin used the word, “equal”, everything equal. The goal of both was, as is, the same - Hussein uses his own definition of “fair”, just as Stalin used his own definition of “equal” - both means take everything from the richer and give it to the poorer. Make everything “fair” - everyone alike.
This country is doomed.
Most likely, nobody except the United States can respond militarily to Iran any time, ever. Israel wins defensive wars on our own ground. That’s the only kind of war we’ve ever been able to win, and not because we have some gigantic super-duper army. We don’t. In 1967, we didn’t even have the US on our side. The idea of some sort of expeditionary force from Israel invading Iran, or even infiltrating it and thereby stopping a nuclear program cold, sounds shaky at best. Without carriers, it can’t be done.
Thanks SJackson.
