#3 U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to warn Iran that the talks were a "last chance for Tehran" to avoid the attack.

If true, that's significant

#4 ...either he supports the war option or will lose the support [of the U.S. Jews]...

Technically that’s extortion not blackmail. But either way it’s bullshit.

#5 "DEFENSIVE" MINDED IRAN WILL PREFER THE US-ISRAEL MAKE THE FIRST MOVE, as Iran's strategy = among other, the US + Israel will be attacking a sovereign Muslim country that officially has no NucWeaps of any kind.

* "JAPAN/EGYPT" MODEL = THERE ARE NO PHYSICAL, OVERT NUCWEAPS OR ARSENAL PER SE, ONLY THE [subjective = debatable]NATIONAL "POTENTIAL" TO QUICKLY PRODUCE SAME IN TIME OF THREAT OR CONTINGENCY.

By most accounts the Bammer is still losing points among mainstream US Voters - even iff the GOP field becomes a "split ticket", as is likely at the way things are going, it may not give the Bammer any advantage oer the GOP 4 = POTUS Candidates. MORESO IFF THE US ECON CONTINUES TO TANK WHILE US DEBT EXPLODES, AS MANY ANALYSTS BELIEVE

Since 3 of the GOP 4 are in favor of Milaction andor strong UN-led Sanctions agz Rising Iran, it is ironically in Iran + Radical Islam's favor to ensure that pro-Diplomacy + UN Sanctions, anti-war Obama de facto wins re-election in US.

"BILL CLINTON II", as per dubious $$$ ME contributions to 2012 re-election coffers.

Will a troubled or cash-short Bammer re-election campaign covertly tow the Iran line on nukes, + by extension the similar agendums of Nuke-happy, post-"Arab Spring" Islamist Govts throughout the ME???

#6 TOPIX > [Buzzflash]NETANYAHU'S REAL GOAL IS NOT BOMBING IRAN, BUT DEFEATING OBAMA.
