TJP: Reports that the President of Israel, Shimon Peres has stated that Israel will take military action against Iran should the peace overtures from the USA to Iran fail. The Obama Administration does not have all the time in the world, Israel well never allow Iran to become a nuclear armed power. Thus if there are going to be talks Obama needs to start backdoor talks with the leadership Iran now, the problem is who does Obama have discussions with in Iran. Reagan had the same problem, thus Iran - Contra. The problem is that Iran has a Presidential election this year, Obama does not want to help the Conservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he needs a moderate to win the election. Thus talks might have to wait, but the clock is ticking, one way or another Iran has to be solved before the US Presidential Election in 2012.
