I am sure the Pentagon already has the plans in the drawer. Isra<el probbaly just do not trust the Obama admninsitration not to give away any diplomatioc warnings that the first strike is underway. Also, Israel still accepts, depends and is sure of that the Americans will join once it has begun, but Obama maybe wants to prevent that it begins so that he doe sniot have to come. I think, thertefore, Israel is about preventing early warning to Iran, and to cinfront America with facts created by reality and that force it to join, not to hesistate.
I must admit, if I were Israel, I would calculate exactly the same way. And I never would forget that in case of doubt, I stand all alone, and Europeans will fail me. That's why I take the Israeli warnings serious.
The British are said to also currently run huge manouvers, or did I misinterpret that? I recall there was some news on that some days ago.
