This is, from the Israeli perspective, the last chance to take out Hamass before the ascent of Obamanation. They have 3 weeks to slay the hamass beast before the end of the Bush Administration.

The Israelis aren't sure about Obama. Perhaps Obama is the closet Paleostain supporter that they suspect he might be. If true, Obama would never give Israel the green light to take out this Gaza eyesore. Hence the urgency to get the job done....now.

I can believe Israel moved before the inauguration. However, my feeling is that the new Administration, on foreign policy, will differ from the old as little as possible. If tested, Obama will see if he has as much guts as his predecessor.

Just think, the Israeli’s will have to put up with Hillary Clinton as SOS.
