Re: U.S. Presidential Election 2008
Mmm, glad to see that my mind thinks in the same way as the former head of Mossad.

Seriously though, all things considered, it seems entirely prudent for Israel to be considering this. Not that I'm saying I personally agree with it, but strategically, in terms of the immediate threat they see posed by Iran, it seems to me entirely pragmatic to take action before the election. At this point, the choice and risks are clear to them - do they want to risk waiting, then find that they may be at even greater threat but unable to act - or do they not take that risk, and instead, act now?
