What on the surface of it looks like the US being played by the Israelis, the US may be doing a Bay of the Pigs* operation.

It shows itself distantiating from an Israeli plan to attack Iran but at the same time supporting such plan.

Israel once attacking Iran, the US can say: we have nothing to do with it!

The US did that with the Bay of Pigs. Pretended the attack was Cubans only but supported the Cubans.

There is something for everybody here.

Such an operation will gather a lot of information the US want to have to be able to conduct such strikes against other countries in the future. Unlikely an Israel only operation.

The Republican candidates gain with that public squabble.

Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, is an old friend of Mr Netanyahu and has consistently criticised Mr Obama for not taking a harder line with Tehran on its nuclear ambitions.

The US military -under the big knife of coming cuts - love a higher level of 'threat' to avoid the big machete that will fall on the defense budget.

instead of developing smart military strategies to counter a nuclear Iran or an ascendant China, Pentagon leaders are busy developing scenarios to deal with doomsday budget cuts. Defense companies are laying off workers, and small suppliers are closing down simply because of the threat of sequestration.

Oil price goes up as a result of the 'feud' between Israel and US.
As the US and Israel intensify their war rhetoric against Iran, the global oil market is witnessing hiking prices almost on a daily basis

The film is just the mechanism.

But luckily, this thread has its own Wayo detector.
