Officials in key parts of the Obama administration are increasingly convinced that sanctions will not deter Tehran from pursuing its nuclear programme, and believe that the US will be left with no option but to launch an attack on Iran or watch Israel do so.

Huh? Proof the brain dead can evolve? neh, just more words. Obama will secretly sanction Israel as will possibly the Saudi's to destroy the nukes plants then overtly lambaste Israel as a war mongering nation of genocidal maniacs worthy of total destruction. Just a nasty Biblical prophecy coming to fruition.
Precurser ot Ezekial 38,39? The trigger for the prophecy and American infighting therefore were out of the picture? Dunno. Speculation but Obama and his cronies haven't the cojones to order an attack just as it was alleged Obama didn't really sign off on the Osama op and was playing golf lost in his surreal utopian world that exists in only the drug addled mind.
Ask the Israeli Kadima party how well an ill prepared vague war worked for them. And Oba’as Democrats aren’t centrist, they are far left. If they go to war against Iran, it is likely that there will be mass defections to a third party candidate.
