Panetta believes Israel will attack Iran this spring
2012-02-02
According to the report, written by the paper's senior opinion writer David Ignatius, Panetta is concerned that Israel will launch an attack before Iran enters the so-called "immunity zone" when its nuclear facilities will be heavily fortified and a military strike will no longer succeed.
Concerned why?

#3  Given the history of Israel's strikes agz foreign NucProgs, IMO its more correct to say that the US + Israeli want to pressure Iran to get it all nervousy + finger-twaddling, etc. in order to covertly induce Iran into making a foolish milaction which in turn will validate a US, UNSC-led counter-response.

As per LUCIANNE + HUMAN EVENTS Blog, the US + IRAN are seemingly caught up in a "GREAT GAME OF NUCLEAR CHICKEN" in the Gulf, in which the Artic denotes IT WILL LIKELY BE THE US = BAMMER ADMIN, NOT IRAN, TO SWERVE = BLINK FIRST???

As ostensib due to on-going US, NATO-EU Econ, Budget woes + ditto success of the various "Arab/Islamic Srings" [Political-Legal-Electoral Jihad = pro-Islamist Govt-sharing].

Iran is NOT Syria or Iraq - it has times made it clear that any Israeli attack will the same as a US attack, + that it will retaliate by any and all means available.

* FYI IIRC FOX FIVE AM > JESSE JACKSON = argued that GOP-Right criticisms of POTUS Obama may be putting the Bammer's life at physical risk of harm???
