I'm sure that's why they do that, but considering how we're seriously debating venturing forth into a fourth war in that region in the last decade, I think they might be just a tad too cautious.

Anyway this brings something I found on-line earlier today. Over-exaggerated fear or...not? I don't know, you tell me.

My worry is that once the Likudniks begin to realize Obama may not be defeated by the GOP at home, the current Israeli government would launch a war without warning to create a crisis to humiliate the president, rally end-times evangelicals to vote, send oil prices soaring, and force the US president to coopt a war he does not want and does not yet believe is necessary. If that helps the GOP nominee, so much the better.
