Israel Will Attack Iran If Obama Election Likely

Charles Krauthammer has said that Israel will attack Iran once they believe Obama's re election is likely.

On Friday’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer warned that Americans should expect Israel to attack Iran if President Barack Obama’s re-election appears likely.

Krauthammer explained that there could be a punitive response from the Obama administration, which would be less likely before he is re-elected.

“If they think Obama will win reelection I think it’s likely they will attack before, because afterwards there is no way to tell how Obama would punish Israel and they would be vulnerable to sanctions and other measure of the United States,” he said.

Krauthammer reminded viewers of the time frame advanced by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta earlier this year, and explained how that is a sign that “the clock is running.”

“The window is between now — remember, the Secretary of Defense said earlier in year that Israel would have attacked by now, attack in April, May, June,” he continued.

“The clock is running. They are simply waiting to make sure that the sham negotiations are declared over, rather than put on life support — to say all options have been tried and now we have to defend ourselves.”

We have said in the past that we believe Obama is only cordial to Israel because he knows he HAS TO BE if he wants to be re elected.  However, once he is re elected, we believe that his mask will come off and he will play much harder with Israel.  It appears that Israel believes this as well...which is why they may attack now KNOWING that the American people will demand American involvement to aid Israel.

Also notice how Krauthammer used the phrase, "Obama would punish Israel".  This seems to me to be more talk about USA cursing Israel.  Is this what's coming?
