Hhhhmmm, I wonder what the reaction is going to be over this admission? Everyone knows that an Israeli strike would be the most probable outcome of all this whimpy behavior by Obama and the international community but it's another thing to come right out with a timeline and all......wow

damage to Obama resulting from an Israeli strike on Iran “would be devastating.” It is idiotic that a US President would put himself in this position. If an ally must take action necessary for his very survival, that should not be "devastating" to an American President. But, what's done is done. In this light, the fuss that the White House made about those apartment buildings in Jerusalem makes better sense -- Obama and Hillary want to pick a fight with Israel as a "preemptive" step - in order to separate themselves better from the consequences of an Israeli action against Iran. Israel is yet to receive any thanks for sparing the world from another potential nuclear superpower - Saddam Hussein - whose program they rather neatly eliminated in 1981.
