War with Iran

The Times of London, Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper, seems to have figured out the geopolitics of Obama's Middle East.  In yesterdays article "Israeli Navy in Suez Canal Prepares for Potential Attack on Iran," author Sheera Frenkel concludes an informative piece on recent Israeli military exercises with these incredibly disturbing lines:

The exercises come at a time when Western diplomats are offering support for an Israeli strike on Iran in return for Israeli concessions on the formation of a Palestinian state.

If agreed it would make an Israeli strike on Iran realistic “within the year” said one British official.

Diplomats said that Israel had offered concessions on settlement policy, Palestinian land claims and issues with neighboring Arab states, to facilitate a possible strike on Iran.

Israel has chosen to place the Iranian threat over its settlements,” said a senior European diplomat.

My hope is that these "Western Diplomats" are only trying to help News Corp spin the Atlantic political climate into a warlike state, but i would not be surprised for one moment if Rahm Emanuel and company in Washington struck this type of deal.  Israel has never been one to sit down and behave, and if another deceitful "peace process" is indeed underway, no doubt Israel will do everything it can to milk the diplomatic procedures to its benefit.
