I think Israel will bomb Iran before Bush leaves office. Crude Oil Rises as U.S. Dollar Weakens, Israel Conducts Drill By Mark Shenk June 20 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil rose as the weaker dollar enhanced the appeal of commodities as a currency hedge and the New York Times reported that Israel held a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on nuclear targets in Iran. www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601072&sid=a0MJ0CtjqUSc&refer=energy

I think the probability is higher that the Israelis will wait until after the election inorder to give the Republicans an opportunity to do their best before the Shit Hits The Fan. Surely Iran's Imanutjob will declare war on Israel and close the Straits to oil shipping. This most likely will bring in the US to open the straits.

hmm .. couple of scenarios
the election polls the candidates at within %3 and the republicans are too scared shitless to let it happen.
the election polls Obama with a large (>10%) lead and the republicans get desperate, sending a signal to israel to do it.
the election polls Mccain with a large lead and the israeli's get complacent and decide to wait until after the election.
keep in mind that israel has been pursuing peace agreements with syria and hamas, with those 2 threats temporarily contained, they can focus on Iran

Syria will undoubtedly also declare war on Israel.

I just heard on the CBS Nightly News that Iran may have the Russian purchased anti aircraft missiles in place by the end of the year. This is another motivation to bomb Iran before the SAMs are operational.
