I also think, Biden, Powell and Albright did mean an Israeli attack on Iran with their talking about a international crisis.
Well what else can they do with the prospect of a President Obama who will sit on his hands just like Carter did?
Yes, Israel won’t want to take a chance on an ineffectual, or even hostile, Obama and so has to act before Jan 20.
Things might have been different if McCain had won - a phrase I may find myself using more than once. But of course we must look ahead.
This article is a few months old by the way. But Bolton already knew, that Israel wants to hit Iran, if Obama wins. So, now that Obama has won, I think we will very soon see Israel hitting Iran hard, very hard.
Israel must act to defend themselves NOW. Obama will do nothing for Israel, so they will have to take care of themselves. Heaven help the Israelis.
It is in Israel’s own self-interest to do this, but not the world’s.....the crap will hit the fan and Obama will be in way over his head.
Hello World War.
Faster, please.
(No, I’m not Mike Ledeen, I’m just stealing his line.)
In 5 years Iran could send a missle to the U.S. per our missle defence head.
If Israel is interested in its survival as a nation, they had better attack Iran before Obama takes over.
Gird your loins, folks!
Bush is now completely free to do whatever he thinks will protect his Iraq project, or his legacy, or our country.
The ONLY thing keeping Israel from smacking down their enemies is the US. With our support they have been able to work with us to keep Syria, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt from attacking them. With Obama being a Muslim and professing that he will stand with the Muslims, Israel has no choice but to defend herself...she has nukes. God bless her.
The British press is the biggest bunch of Bull. I think the New Year predictions are more accurate.
It would be best for Israel to attack sooner, because Obama would get an education from the daily briefings from the Bush team, but not be able to screw things up yet. It would also mean that he would have to assemble his defense team before a lot of other stuff.
Hopefully also, Iran would try an attack on our prepared forces in the region. They, and Israel, are under a layered anti-missile screen provided by W. Bush. This might help persuade Obama that missile defenses are just a waste of money.
This would mean that any notions about direct talks with Iran would be over, as well as the possibility they could razzle dazzle the naif.
It would also mean that W. Bush could whole hog retaliate and blow the snot out of Iran, ending things up before Inauguration Day. This would put Obama in the same position as Bill Clinton, with no-fly zones in Iraq.
It would also mean that any statements of approval of anything by Obama, and he would be an enemy of Iran, from their point of view, thereafter.
“Mr Bush to launch attacks against Iran.” President Bush won’t launch dick...the Israelis will take care of their business (I hope.)
When W had a briefing for both candidates sometime back this is where the gaffe factory Biden comes in, can’t keep his stupid mouth shut.
In a way, it’s a good thing, it shows the American people where the leak is.
Unfortunately, even when it happens, not if, but when, their sheeple still won’t be able to connect these dots though.
Bill Kristol is a fool, Bush has NOTHING to do with it. Israel will strike with or without our help, regardless of the elections.
However I now disagree with Biden, I think it’ll occur on W’s watch, just before he leaves office, late Dec. or early January, now that Israel knows where it stands with bambi and mouth.
The loon ahmajenidad is all but promising to wipe Israel off the map and is busily building the weaponry to do it.
bambi will fumble and side with Iran and Biden knows it.
I bet Obama comes to the conclusion that we (the US) needs to remain in Iraq, if only to keep Israel & Iran apart. Right now the Iraqi “air force” couldn’t prevent a sparrow from flying across their airspace.
I hope they do attack Iran, show the world they have a set of, well, you know......
Obama just screwed Israel as the POTUS-Elect....The only chance was a McCain/Palin victory for an Israel preventive attack on Iran....Obama would make the “payback” too costly to just do it and attack Iran and end the nuke threat or put the program back to the stone age...
