I just heard Steve Forbes of "Forbes" magazine speak to the Commonwealth Club of California and he predicts that Israel may choose the time after the election but before the inauguration to perform a preemptive strike on Iran. The current push by the Iranian government to enrich uranium has the Israeli Government on high alert.

This well accepted pundit of economy and world affairs reasoned that the next president will have no choice but to join Israel in the conquest of Iran since we have an open-ended and unconditional alliegance to Israel.

Why at this time of weakness in our economy, and thinly spread condition of our military with two wars already in progress would we be willing to open another front on behalf of a foreign country?
