Bibi caved to Obama on Iran attack?
Prime Minister Netanyahu may have given the Obama administration's Iran sanctions program until 2013 to work. A possible military confrontation with Iran may be postponed until 2013, senior defense officials said in recent weeks amid growing signs that the West’s economic crackdown on Iran is bearing fruit.We don't know what Iran is doing, but at a minimum we know that they continue to move in the direction of building a nuclear weapon, and we know that they are trying as quickly as possible to move their uranium enrichment capability underground to keep it out of prying Western eyes.
In addition, while skeptical, the defense establishment is waiting to see what the outcome will be of the talks expected to begin in mid-April between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 group comprised of the US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China.
“It could happen this year, but also 2013 is a possibility,” a senior official said recently.
“We will need to wait to see the effect sanctions and diplomacy have on Iran and what the regime decides to do.”
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu acknowledged that sanctions were hurting Iran but that it was not yet clear if they would succeed in ultimately stopping Tehran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
What could potentially change Israel’s timeline would be an Iranian decision to begin enriching uranium to higher military-grade levels and to begin building a bomb.
What could go wrong?

Your government never truly wanted to attack and doesn't now. Maybe yes, if Washington were a full-throated champion willing to go the extra mile to launch a joint attack, well, they could go for that. Absent that, and that will not be the state of affairs for the foreeeable future there was no need to cave--there has never been a consensus to launch unilateral pre-emptive action, not last year, not two years ago, not last week, not today. All the rumblings and talk about timelines and even Auschwitz couldn't did not equal the actual resolution to pull the trigger.
Maybe down the road.
Oh, they don't want to sweep Hezbollah off the board either.
Or Hamas.
Or Fatah.
If Bibi does this then it is certain that Iran will develop an Nuclear weapon and use it on Israel.
