#1 IRAN-N-SYRIA-CRISIS-VS-US-N-POST-ABBOTTABAD-PAK- CRISIS ... ...NATO Supply Routes + Regional Pipeline Wars + all.

A alleged "GAME OF NUCLEAR CHICKEN" in which various Perts believe the US WILL BLINK FIRST, NOT IRAN???

* TOPIX > NATO HOPES AFGHAN FORCES TAKE LEAD IN 2013. US-NATO forces charged to nominally still engage in anti-MilTerr Combat Ops until 2014 datelines as pertinent.

OTOH both Kabul + Internat Analysts feel that US SECDEF PANETTA's comments as per 2013 will FUEL/SPARK MORE TALIBAN = MILITANT ATTACKS, NOT LESS???

#2 From VOA:
Some U.S. officials worry that the "red line" for Israel may be when Iran moves key sections of its nuclear facilities to hardened underground sites out of the reach of missiles and bombs.

Whatever its threshold, Israeli Defense Minister Barak said this week Israel cannot wait until it is reached. "Whoever says later," Barak told a gathering of security experts, "may find out that 'later' is too late."

As if to emphasize his point for a Western audience, he switched from Hebrew to English for the phrase.

The MSM hasn't stated the case this plainly. The first Iranian nuclear test may take place in Israel.

#3 As per DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS, UN Nuclear Inspectors are repor declaring the Iran visit a FAILURE.

The ball is seemingly now back in the Bammer's court.
