Segal said that, when considering the imperative to attack, Netanyahu and Barak reason that “we may have reached the moment of truth” after which it would be too late to stop Iran, and that “the price of an attack is far lower than the price of inaction.” It will be “a matter of a few months” before it is too late, Segal said — before, that is, Iran would be immune from damage by an Israeli strike.

The window to have an effective strike is closing rapidly!

Israel’s leaders have also noted that president George W. Bush vowed repeatedly that North Korea would not be allowed to attain a nuclear weapons capability — a vow that proved empty.

Yep. Nothing in Washington is so cheap as talk. Bush gave obama a lot of cover with his empty pontifications.

If you read about supposedly secret deliberations by the Israeli government, you know it’s not true. They don’t leak those things.

Iran’s entire nuclear program is predicated on a lie and they need to suffer the consequences of their deceit. Israel would not be out of bounds if they set of an EMP over Iranian airspace and fried their circuitry, especially since Iran has repeatedly threatened Israel with complete annihilation. It would be a preemptive yet defensive move and I’d hope that all their talk of an October attack would mean that they’re actually going to make their move in September.

Go Israel!

This might not be so disastrous for the election. All actions seem to point to Obama NOT following Israel into war (even though his inaction and cowardice caused it). He hates Israel and that might trump his desire for power. Can he stomach coming to their aid? Personally, I hope Benjamin rockets Ahmedinnerjacket’s presidential palace.

A year from now, an Israeli strike “would have a negligible impact.”

Yeah, depends on what kind of "strike" it is.

Striking Iran before our election would be foolish. Israel would get 100% U.S. support if Romney wins but if they strike before the election it COULD help 0bama get re-elected if the American public perceives 0bama 'looked strong and decisive' EVEN THOUGH OF COURSE HE WOULD NOT BE. The SEALs got 0bama what little military street cred he has to date even though we know better!

I seriously doubt Iran has weaponized nukes within the next 60 days unless another country has given them one. Israel doing all they can to NOT ASSIST 0bama in a re-electon is vital to their future. Look at the misery 0bama has caused Israel thus far, with the MB controlling Egypt and our exit from Iraq and soon Afghanistan with NOTHING in return and his escalation of the Caliphate.

Would it be better for Israel to attack Iran the day of the election or the afternoon of the election so the MSM cannot misreport the voting? They will be too busy reporting on the ME to try to manipulate the results. They'd be like a blind dog in a meathouse trying to get it all in.

Netanyahu is simply allowing these types of leaks to further push up gas prices. This, he knows, does more harm to the Kenyan. An attack would have an unpredictable effect on the election. Might even help 0bama.

I believe that was actually GHW Bush, and that the North Koreans attained their nuclear weapons aspirations during the 8 years of the Clinton administration.

Sounds like Netanyahu and Barak understand that the foreign enemy combatant who occupies our White House really DOES mean to push for the Islamic agenda (destruction of US and Israel, and worldwide sharia), as he told the Egyptian ambassador privately in January of 2010.

Israel will never stand alone. The Lord will be with them. And lots of Christians will be hoping and praying for them as well.

But the US government under Obama will never do anything against an Islamist regime, no matter how extreme and how dangerous.

"Israel would not be planning to draw the US into a war with Iran by striking at Iran’s nuclear facilities, the report said. And Israel does not believer an attack would prompt regional war."

This guy is pissing in the dark. He's wrong on both accounts, triggered by the latter.

An Israeli attack would be viewed by the MB as a win-win scenario, who could fund/fuel a Pali breech the length of Gaza, if for no other reason at the bare minimum to demand better terms from the Egyptian Army junta.

Also Assad has no reason to hold back anything, and would throw the match on the gasoline known as Lebanon.

From there, the cancer known as the Arab Spring rerises as the Arab Autumn, and spreads to Jordan, then to Jeddah and Riyadh, and that would draw the US into a war with Iran, and brinksmanship with Putin...
