Iran and the BOMB - Iran Crisis


Telegraph:  Reports the following on the UN speech by the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, " ..warned on Thursday that Iran will have enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb by next summer  ".

Lets Get Real:

This Israel trying to place pressure on the Obama Oval before a 2nd term, Israel wants President Obama to draw a line in the sand, in essence force the Oval to show its hand.   After Obama wins and there is no American action over Iran expect Israel to hit Tehran, with out without the approval of the Oval.  It will be like 1981 and 2007 all over again, at the end of the day any Israeli PM will have to take action, they can not wait for the US Election cycle.  One can expect that the Obama Oval will be then worried about the the 2014 Mid Terms, and the need to keep the liberal base on board, thus more pressure for Israel to accept a nuclear armed Iran and a Palestinian State.  This is the time for Israel to act, just before the November election, this is when the Oval is at its most weak, politics is about winning and the other guy losing, the politics for Israel is clear, hit Tehran when Obama has no choice but to support Israel and follow up with attack on Iran.  That is the Chicago way folks. 

Israel vs. Iran - Iran Crisis



BBC News: Reports that the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN has called for the UN to draw a line in the sand when it comes to Iran's nuclear ambitions. 

Lets Get Real:

As President Obama is going to win a 2nd term one has to ask what will he do in the Middle East, its easy, he wont have the power to do a dam thing, he cant run for a 3rd term, thus the Democrats on the Hill will distance themselves from any Obama attempt to force Israel to accept a nuclear armed Iran.   The security of Israel and the power of the Israeli Lobby is the nearly the only thing that unites the Democrats and Republicans, as VP Biden cant or wont run in 2016 the Democrats on the Hill will make sure that any Obama policy on Israel and Iran will benefit Israel.   Lets get to the political truth folks, the day after Obama is sworn in for a 2nd term, the candidates for 2016 will start to campaign in Iowa, the Democrats will be worried that after 8 years of Obama the Country will turn hard right, think in 2000, when the Country went from a moderate liberal in Bill Clinton to a Conservative Bush 43, then in 2008 from Bush 43 to a very liberal Obama.   Thus one can predict the same thing will happen in 2016.  All politics is local folks.
