#1 Of course being a double dealer himself, the One would ponder "what if I agree to all this, and the [expletives] still attack before election day?". It's not like he's ever played Chicago politics to consider such an scenario.

#2 I see the advantages to O & Co. But, given O's record of keeping his word, what are the advantages to Israel?

#3 The problem is, Obama is known for his weakness against Iran. Both Israel and Iran know this. If this is true, then some extra diplomatic pressure might be helpful, but everyone just might ignore it too.

#4 Evidence that this is BS found with the Tom Donilon lead, and the excerpt below:

1. President Obama will formally inform the two houses of congress in writing that he plans to use military force to prevent Iran from arming itself with a nuclear weapon.

#5 Of course, any deal made with O would not be binding on Romney. So why would Israel make such a deal?

#7 I think it is more likely that Israel will reoccupy the Sinai and Gaza strip than attack Iran before the elections.

If Egypt has completely tossed out the peace treaty, Israel would be justified in reoccupation of those areas.

#8 Israel has asked Egypt to withdraw its Armor, i.e. Main Battle Tanks + Mech/Infantry Fighting Vehicles, from the Sinai as these are in violation of the Sinai treaty.

The US = POTUS BAMMER may have a serious problem wid NOT-IRAN before October or espec the November elections iff Egypt refuses.
