US intelligence source: Israel has already decided to attack
Israel's Channel 2 is reporting based on a US intelligence source that Israel has already decided to attack Iran.... unless there is a major change in Iran's nuclear program in the coming weeks or months. No kidding.Let's go to the videotape (mostly Hebrew only, but stay with me).
The Americans are fearful that an attack would cause a regional war, and maybe even a third World War. The Americans believe that the Arab countries will join in, that there will be thousands of dead and that Israel's economy will collapse. They believe an attack would be suicidal. The Americans believe that ordinary Israelis have no idea what the fallout of an attack will be.
But the Israelis say that the nightmare scenarios are an American attempt to scare Israel out of attacking and to bind Israel to doing what the Obama administration wants to do. And here in Israel, no one trusts Obama.

UPDATE TUESDAY 8:55 PM

Would have been better off with McCain, even without the "investments". No Daylight.

Obama's facial expressions and body language give him away. It's as if the beaten wife just stated on national television" I'm a free woman and I'll no longer tolerate the beatings." Obama's glare: " Boy are you going to get it as soon as everyone leaves."
don't be played by Arabists in the American "intelligence community" who are prepared to expound at the price of a free drink as to how Israel, today, tomorrow, next week, next month is really really going to strike Iran and bring on Armageddon. But doesn't the actual absence of any attack after 11 years of this hint that, just maybe, whenever Bibi sits down with the other poohbahs and they toss the idea around they never quite seem to get a minyan to close the deal? For sure, absence of proof is not proof of absence, and Moshiach may come tomorrow too. Best to expect the two arrivals to coincide.
Americans actually in the room with BIbi reportedly say, ah, no, Bibi hasn't decided to pull the trigger yet...

"Americans actually in the room with BIbi reportedly say, ah, no, Bibi hasn't decided to pull the trigger yet."
I hate to have to say it but if I were Netanyahu, I wouldn't answer that question. For whatever
"Americans actually in the room" is worth, Netanyahu apparently followed that policy. Were I him, I wouldn't call Obama until bombs were actually falling.
