"... the thing about an Israeli attack on Iran as opposed to a US one is that Israel's window of opportunity is more constrained than America's because of the difference in sufficient firepower required to do the job... what that means is if Israel does not trust Obama to pull the trigger if such becomes necessary or does not trust him to be honest with them about his intentions and therefore suspect he may try and trick them into allowing their small window of opportunity to close, then Israel may feel it has no choice but to act... and let's face it, Obama's actions since becoming president have done little to inspire confidence that his view of Israel's security is in keeping with or even remotely sympathetic to the perceptions of Netanyahu and his confederates... and since from what I read the Israeli window of opportunity stands now at about nine months and the full proposed sanctions on Iran do not kick in for another five months and cannot be trusted with any conviction to do the job regardless... well, do the math and tremble..."
