Comments coming at this time from these people sounds more like political posturing and maneuvering than anything else.

I fail to see how their remarks could possibly help the situation.

In fact, Netanyahu, if forced to move up the elections to deal with these people could feel his duty is to Israel, and order an attack.

This is a very dangerous game they are playing.

For an interesting article covering this issue, see the following link to Debkafile, “Netanyahu’s choices: Strike Iran before or after Israeli elections”, April 29th.

I hear that Netanyahu will call for early elections and it is possible that Tzipi Livni could become Prime Minister.I surely hope so, because it was stolen from her by Simon Peres and others.She would make a fantastic Prime Minister and I for one am pulling for her.Netanyahu is a loose cannon, just like his buddy Romney.

PseudoTurtle Good article.

I guess Israeli bombs will be dropping on Iran real soon. KnatNYahoo has that same silly grin that Bush had before sending in the bombs. It’s that impetuous liar’s face that cannot hide intent to bold show offy in a big way.

Nettie’s not after Iran, he’s after the U.S. election. His announcements are timed to put pressure on the candidates to give him what he wants. Iran’s program is much more distributed than Iraq’s; lots of tactical and logistical problems that Israel can’t overcome. So in exchange for doing nothing, he gets out of pressure on the settlements. All at the cost of shooting his mouth off.

Perhaps some Israelis are not anxious to lose their only significant ally. And risk everything on submission to Authority.
