How much time do we have before war between Iran and Israel breaks out?
Could it happen between the U.S. elections on November 4th and the
inauguration on January 20th? A number of top U.S. and Israeli officials
and analysts fear the answer could be yes.
Last month, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad again vowed to wipe
Israel and "these germs of corruption off the face of the Earth."
Israeli officials believe time is running out before Iran gets the Bomb.
What's more, they know full well that President Bush - widely considered
the most pro-Israel commander-in-chief in U.S. history - is leaving
office very soon. One question, then, is whether Israel might launch a
pre-emptive war against Iran's nuclear weapons program before a new
American President steps in.
Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, this week
actually guaranteed a major international crisis would erupt within the
next six months if running mate Barack Obama is elected. "Mark my words
- it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like
they did John Kennedy," Biden told supporters in Seattle on Sunday. "The
world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator
president of the United States of America....Watch. We're going to have
an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this
guy."

I'm paying particular attention this morning to how people in the
epicenter are reacting to Sen. Obama's victory. Leaders in Iran are
thrilled since the likelihood of decisive U.S. action to stop Iran's
nuclear weapons program has just dropped dramatically. Leaders in Iraq,
by contrast, are trying not to be worried given that the likelihood of
rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces has just increased dramatically.
A senior political strategist in Israel emailed me last night with this
thought: "The State of Israel is now facing the most unfriendly American
administration ever....Israel's will to live will be tested in ways that
will not e pretty. Many of Obama's foreign policy team and Middle East
advisors see Israel as the obstacle to peace. And we can not count on
Jewish supporters of Obama to have any standing in setting policy in
this administration." A new poll released yesterday also caught my
attention: 46% of Israelis would have voted for McCain, while only 34%
would have voted for Obama. That tells us something about the concern
from Eilat to Haifa and from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem about losing a great
friend of Israel and the Jewish people in President Bush to someone who
has not indicated convincing support for Israel in the past.

Washington, D.C., November 10, 2008) -- Tensions in the epicenter are
running high as the world watches closely to see if Israel is going to
launch preemptive strikes against Iran during this window between the
U.S. elections and the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama on
January 20th, or if Iran will use this window to launch preemptive
strikes against Israel.
