Israel 'will attack Iran' before new US president sworn in, John Bolton predicts - Tele... - 1 views

  • "It's clear that the administration has essentially given up that possibility," he said. "I don't think it's serious any more. If you had asked me a year ago I would have said I thought it was a real possibility. I just don't think it's in the cards."
  • The "optimal window" for strikes would be between the November 4 election and the inauguration on January 20, 2009.
  • But waiting for either Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, or his Republican opponent John McCain to be installed in the White House could preclude military action happening for the next four years or at least delay it.

  • An Obama victory would rule out military action by the Israelis because they would fear the consequences given the approach Obama has taken to foreign policy,"
  • The Iran policy of Mr McCain, whom Mr Bolton supports, was "much more realistic than the Bush administration's stance"
  • William Kristol, a prominent neo-conservative, told Fox News on Sunday that an Obama victory could prompt Mr Bush to launch attacks against Iran. "If the president thought John McCain was going to be the next president, he would think it more appropriate to let the next president make that decision than do it on his way out,"

    This strategy makes sense but, again it may change tomorrow.

    Let's hope that Iran reverses its direction before any military actions are taken on Iran.

Israel has a year to stop Iran bomb, warns ex-spy - Telegraph - 0 views

  • "As an intelligence officer working with the worst-case scenario, I can tell you we should be prepared. We should do whatever necessary on the defensive side, on the offensive side, on the public opinion side for the West, in case sanctions don't work. What's left is a military action
  • Iran's military said it might hit the Jewish state with missiles and stop Gulf oil exports if it came under attack. Israel "is completely within the range of the Islamic republic's missiles,"
  • More than 40 per cent of all globally traded oil passes through the 35-mile-wide Strait of Hormuz, putting tankers entering or leaving the Gulf at risk from Iranian mines, rockets and artillery

  • "If [Republican candidate John] McCain gets elected, he could really easily make a decision to go for it.
  • Israeli officials believe the diplomatic process is useless and have been pressing President Bush to launch air strikes before he leaves office on January 20 next year.
  • If it's Obama: no. My prediction is that he won't go for it, at least not in his first term in the White House."
  • He warned that while it would be preferable to have American support and participation in a strike on Iran, Israel will not be afraid to go it alone.
  • we may update the Americans that we are intending or planning or going to do something. It's not a precondition, [getting] an American agreement," he said.

King Abdullah: In Need of 'Wins on The Ground' | Newsweek International | Newsweek.com - 0 views

  •  
    King Abdullah of Jordan sat down at Petra with NEWSWEEK's Lally Weymouth last week and reflected on the state of affairs in his part of the world. He emphasized the need for a settlement of the Palestinian issue and claimed that Iran was no longer such a big problem for his country. Indeed, he sounded a bit like Barack Obama in arguing for the need for dialogue with Iran- a country he has in the past described as a major threat. Excerpts:

Who's Planning Our Next War? - 0 views

  • He failed with North Korea. Will he accept failure in Iran, though there is no hard evidence Iran has an active nuclear weapons program?
    • liveinfreedom .
       
      N. Korea a FAILURE; he says. Here's a perfect example of OPINION bullshit. Buchanan must know something I don't know or he don't know what I know about N.Korea. When a rogue nation like N.Korea invites American technicians to help them remove thier nuclear prosesses then how can Buchanan say that Bush has failed in N. Korea. As of the 28 Jue 2008 , N.Korea has "demolished" the nuclear reactor cooling towers there in N.Korea. I don't know WHY Buchanan says that Bush has failed in N.Korea...so stay tuned in to Buchanan

      This report by Buchanan has to the WORST one that he has ever published. Is Buchanan wrong or not? I'm really puzzled by this report from Buchanan because it contradicts everything that I know about the Iran issues.
  • William Kristol of The Weekly Standard said Sunday a U.S. attack on Iran after the election is more likely should Barack Obama win.
  • Ehud Olmert came home from a June meeting with Bush to tell Israelis: "We reached agreement on the need to take care of the Iranian threat. ... I left with a lot less question marks regarding the means, the timetable restrictions and American resoluteness. ...

  • "George Bush understands the severity of the Iranian threat and the need to vanquish it, and intends to act on the matter before the end of his term
  • Israel lacks the stealth and cruise-missile capacity to degrade Iran's air defenses systematically and no longer has the element of surprise.
  • For the U.S. military to let Israel over-fly Iraq would make us an accomplice.
  • Israel would also have to over-fly Turkey, or Syria and U.S.-occupied Iraq, or Saudi Arabia to reach Natanz. Turks, Syrians and Saudis would deny Israel permission and might resist.
  • Would Iran attack Israel with rockets, inviting retaliation with Jericho and cruise missiles from Israeli submarines? Would she close the Gulf with suicide-boat attacks on tankers and U.S. warships?
  • Vice President Cheney is said to favor U.S. strikes. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Mullins are said to be opposed.
  • Moving through Congress, powered by the Israeli lobby, is House Resolution 362, which demands that President Bush impose a U.S. blockade of Iran, an act of war.
  •  
    I find this one hard to believe about N. Korea. Israel appears to be assured that America will aid with intervening in Iran.
  •  
    Is Buchanan WRONG with his analysis...It appears that he is WRONG and has made a terrible BLUNDER that aids the enemies to use his comments as propaganda against America, thereby degrading America's image in the wordl.
