Traveling with the defense secretary in Brussels to cover his meeting with NATO defense ministers, Ignatius writes, "Panetta believes there is a strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June.â€
This is the first time we've heard such a specific timeframe.

The question really is no longer if, but as to how severe the strikes will be.
Any sort of ground campaign, aside from specific special ops, is out of teh question.
But the strikes have to do more than just piss Iran off, they have to be effective and lasting.
I am pretty sure that means activating megatron.

It will certainly be the election wildcard. Any middle east crisis will boost republican support.

Do your own homework. If you have formed opinions share them. If they are based in fact then you would already have your own sources.

Always nice when the morAns like cracka gift wrap themselves.
Obama has more dead in Afghanistan in 3 years than Bush did in 8.

Not at all. You're the sole supporter of your baby girl and yourself. It makes complete sense that you would be concerned about how this is going to impact you and your family. I would argue that if more people thought about the implications of how 'police actions' impact themselves and their family we would have far less involvement in war.

It will all depend on Iran's reaction to the strike, so far Khamenei says war will be 10 times worse for the U.S.

Institute a draft. Public support would drop so far that we'd never have a police action again.

It always happens the same way: There is a window of urgency-It's kill or be killed. Cant you see this is a false dichotomy. It is a fallacy. We are NOT in a kill or be killed situation. Our allies, Israel , have been in a kill or be killed situation forever. If they want to take out Iran, that is their business. They have what they need to do it. We can only control ourselves. Let's deal with the consequences of our allies behavior when it happens. We will not throw Israel to the wolves. But, we dont have to apologize for their acts of aggression either.

If Israel is stupid enough to attack Iran....let them deal with it.
I know they have a fricken nut bag, war loving, full of crap, idiot in power at this time, but he isn't all that popular even in his own country, and every leader in Europe hates the bastard.
He might just try it, but it would mean the end of Israel or nuclear war in the middle east...which of course would also mean the end of Israel.
