They already did.

But what if McCain is elected? Will Israel still strike before inauguration day?

I think so. I think Israel has already told President Bush that they are going to strike before he leaves office and gotten a commitment for support in return for the advance notice. Bush, following tradition and good sense, duly notifies the two contenders and their running mates. But I am willing to bet that Bush failed to tell them of his commitment to support the war Israel starts.

Mr. Anti-military decides that he will not start a third war and Slow Joe goes out and damn near spills the beans on classified information.

My speculation is that Obambi and SlowJoe misunderestimated what was said, similar to the claims that Bush used the term “imminent threat” in the run-up to the Iraq invasion (which he did not).

Obama isn’t smart enough to handle foreign affairs and Israel knows it, so they will pre-empt Obambi.

They might even attack Iran before the election but I think it’s unlikely because they won’t want to deal with the blowback accusing them of trying to manipulate the American election.

But this particular declaration “not gonna be apparent that we’re right” within the same context of the above mentioned, is even more telling… and very disturbing

For me the only place that statement would make any sense, is if Israel hits Iran’s Nuke facilities; quickly followed by a combined retaliation (and land invasion) from Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Fatah, Egypt, etc While Obama sits back, merely denouncing the attack, offering and sending aid, but doing practically nothing militarily. Then “not gonna be apparent that we’re right ” would make perfect sense to a world wondering …why is the U.S just sitting back?

“Joe Biden is one of the most experienced leaders on foreign policy in this country. He has forgotten more than many of us will ever know on the subject.”

Wh-wha-whaaat…..??? Surely, she must be kidding, right? And stop calling me Shirley..!!

Criminy, these polbots have more spin settings than a new Maytag washing machine. ;o)
