Israeli said to be set to attack Iran
2008-11-08
An Israeli academic says the time before new US President Barack Obama is sworn in is an "attractive date" for Israel to attack Iran.
Of course. The time immediately after the election, when the new president doesn't yet have his feet on the ground and the lame duck sitting president is at his lamest would be the perfect time to take decisive action against a threat the two don't agree on. Everybody knows that.
What would we do without academics ...

#2  I just hope and pray somebody is thinking about those Forward Operating Bases (FOBS) in Iraq and our troops that man them. We've got a lot of good soldiers there who will be at risk from missile attacks.

#1  What would we do without academics ...Or politicians?

Well, Barry you will almost be in the catbird seat on January 19th. The question is what would you do on the 20th? Welcome to the big league. You wanted the job bad and now you have it.
