PM: Iran already decided to becom… JPost – Diplomacy & Politics.
(WTF ? ! Why is Netanyahu letting the Iranians know we’re going to hit them, and soon? I have commented that I believed the conflict with the US and the statements by Barak were targeted disinformation. Why show your hand? I’m completely confused as to what’s “really” going on. – JW)

Iran has already decided to become a nuclear state, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Thursday during a visit to Holland.
Netanyahu told reporters that action should be taken before it is too late, and that sanctions on Iran must be intensified.
A day earlier, Netanyahu called the Iranian nuclear threat “the issue that most concerns Israel” and said that the Netherlands and Israel “stand together in opposing Iran’s feverish pursuit of nuclear weapons while declaring its intention to wipe Israel off the map.”
“Nuclear arms in Iran are a threat to Israel, the region and the world,” he said in a speech in Amsterdam. “Sanctions should be applied to Iran’s central bank and its oil exports – and they should be applied now.”
“I want to thank the Netherlands for its support for strong sanctions on Iran,” Netanyahu added.
He also reiterated his call to PA President Mahmoud Abbas to “start negotiations for peace with no preconditions” and lauded the Dutch Parliament for passing a motion last year calling on the Palestinian Authority to recognize Israel as the Jewish state. “The persistent [Palestinian] refusal to accept a Jewish state within any boundaries is the core of the conflict,” he said.
Netanyahu commended Holland’s wartime record, which this month became the subject of a heated public debate in the Netherlands.
“The people of the Netherlands can be proud that despite their small size, they possess the second highest number of Righteous Gentiles of any country – thousand of righteous who risked their lives and the lives of their families, their own children to save Jews,” Netanyahu said.

I fear Israel is completely on her own. Obama will only respond if the attack spills over on US assets. Obama values re-election more than anything else. Nothing more, nothing less. He’s a heartless, mindless idiot and we have to deal with him for some time yet. As for Bibi’s announcement, I think he had no choice. The world must be put on notice by Israel and not Iran. Like an approaching storm, the dark clouds on the horizon will be seen by all and nothing Iran can do will stop its destruction. I also feel the storm will sweep Obama aside because the ‘powers that be’ will not let Israel fall. The US will be drawn into this conflict.

While it would be nice to have some element of surprise I think Iran is as ready for war as they’re going to be. Not much advantage in Israel hiding it now I suppose.
Everyone knows it will start close to a new moon so the Iranians will be on their highest alert this week.
