Sources within the aggressive little country are reporting that some government officials would like to attack Iran before November:


Israel to attack Iran before US election in November - media report - YouTube

The news outlet speculates that this might be catastrophic for Obama. However, I don't see why he couldn't just pull the "we don't switch leaders during a war" card like Dubya. If Israel does start a war in the Middle East then I think the election will be overshadowed by massive political unrest in the world.

Israel is not known for telegraphing its intentions. It just acts. This is bluffing. They can't be much more than a nuisance to the Iranians.

Perhaps, but it might be growing frustrated with the limitations of its covert tactics against Iran. You can only assassinate so many people.

It will be catastrophic for Israel, so it won't happen.

Right. It would be if the US did not support their defense budget with billions of US tax dollars.

In a perfect world it would be, but we know that if Israel attacks Iran we will be drawn into the conflict. It will also cause gas prices to rise because of speculation.

Not any different from CNN, MSNBC, Fox News or other American news outlets. At least it covers stories that none of the US outlets will go near.

U.S. Aid To Israel
This is definitely the problem.we need to reduce out deep dependency on foreign sources of energy and invest in mass transit and less expensive, renewable sources of energy.

We should not be giving Israel a dime. They have plenty of money; like Mittens said, it their culture...

If Israel and Iran want to duke or nuke it out, let 'em. We cannot police the world!
