Iran attack delayed...for Obama?

Here's something from PressTV:

"According to a Monday report on Israel's Channel 10, unnamed Israeli sources said the presence of US troops in Iraq spoils chances of an Israeli strike on Iran, arguing that any military action would leave US forces stationed in Iraq vulnerable to Tehran's retaliation.

Tel Aviv has threatened to launch air strikes against Iranian nuclear installations under the pretext that Tehran, a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), has plans to develop nuclear weaponry.

This is while, in its latest report on Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced that it could not find any 'components of a nuclear weapon' or 'related nuclear physics studies' in the country.

In response to war threats, Iran has warned that it would not hesitate to target 'Israel and 32 US bases' in the region, should the country come under attack.

An Israeli official accompanying Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on a visit to Moscow, however, declined to comment on the Channel 10 report. According to a senior Israeli official, Olmert is in Russia to persuade the country into not selling S-300 missile defense system to Iran.

Late in September, The Guardian quoted EU diplomatic sources as saying that US president George W. Bush in a one to one meeting with Israeli Premier Ehud Olmert on May 14 rejected the idea of an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Bush not only ruled out the idea but insisted that his view would not change, according to The Guardian.

The Monday report comes as several Israeli military and Mossad officials, in an unexpected move on Sunday, endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Democrat Barack Obama has vowed direct talks with Iranian leaders over its nuclear activities. The Arizona Senator has also declared that he would remove US combat troops within 16 months of taking office in January, 2009.

However, Republican John McCain, a staunch supporter of the Iraq war, has refused to provide a timetable and has said that troops could remain in Iraq for 'a hundred years.'

Former Gaza Sector Commander, Brig.-Gen. Shaul Arieli said, "Obama is the right man for the job [of stopping Iran]."

The former Mossad agent, Alpher, said Republican candidate John McCain would continue the failed policies of the current US President.

"Four more years of indecisiveness would harm Israel," added former chief of the Army Central Command, Amram Mitzna."

I don't know if there's really going to be an election, but I'm afraid that if Obama wins, he'll be the new Manchurian candidate. Here's something from WND:

"Kenya – The government of Kenya is holding WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi incommunicado at the airport until he departs the country after police shut down a scheduled news conference in which he planned to announce the findings of his investigation into Barack Obama's connections in the country."

Obama-youth? Arrested for 'telling lies' about Obama?
