I think Netanjahu and Barak are dead serious. Whether they manage to get the domestic support needed to go ahead, is something different. And the IDF will add it's voice (against a strike now), but in the end do as ordered by politicians.

It's 50:50, I say. And that already is serious enough a signal. Distribution of gas maks and modernising bunkers has been pushed with maximum urgency in past weeks and months.

In a jewish online newspaper I read that a attack on Iran could happen in the next 12 week. Furthermore The article said that Iran had made enough uran to build hiroshima-bomb

A few days later I saw on the danish news channel (TV-Avisen) that the american minister of Defence have been travelling between Washington and Israel.

The commentator said, that these meeting was not to make some war plan, but to give Israel some kind of promise. He also said that USA is not interested in a war right now, due to two things

1. There's an election on it's way in America

2. The american is tired of war.

An american attack right now, would definitely mean that Obama could say godbye the a second period in the white house.

After have been watching, reading and hearing about this stuff, I say this.

First after the american election, a combined attack on Iran wil happen and not before.

If this article is right, then Iran could send some atomic bomb against Israel, if they are bombed.


By the way
What if this "war Plan" have been leaked on purpose?

If the american minister of defence is giving Israel some kind of promises if they wait to attack Iran, after the election i USA.

Then this article is explaining why

http://www.timesofisrael.com/the-us-...-attacks-iran/

USA is NOT interested in a war against Iran - not now, not before the election.

Both cluntries differ in opinion about what the critical treshold is: is it when the program has become invulnerable by moving it sufficiently under the mountaisn so that they can work on their bomb as long as needed (Israel'S and mine position), or is it when Iran is just one inch away from having finished building its first bomb (Obama'S official position, it seems). But the latter is too late, since their bomb conmstruijction center or whatver they have can no longer be reached anymore by then. Obama'S criterion thus is the attempt to bend reality to his political desire and eleciton timetable. But reality is stronger. And I doubt that he even plkans to attack at all, no matter time and conditions. I think Obama already has settled with the Iranian bomb.

Israel will not wait that long.

Furthermore, the US had indicated to Israel that they wanted to brief them en detail on their warplans. That was several weeks ago. But the Israeli'S are still waiting. No substantial state of planning has been revealed to them. No warplan illustrated. Just vague comments and cheap promises.

No, Israel has no reason at all to trust in the US over Iran. I can only hope that the US - although angrily howling - will side up with them when Israel strikes. But even that I do not count on anymore. I still have Obama'S terrible Cairo speech on my mind, which revealed a level of illusions and distorted sense of reality that I found simply frightening. Since his Cairo speech I consider Obama to be dangerous and a real security threat, like Bush before.
