I just watched Benjamin Natanyahu's speech at AIPAC, and all I can say is WOW. He gave quite a speech.
After watching it I can't help but think that we will have a republican president in November.
Is that an odd train of thought? Probably, but here's my thinking:
Netanyahu spoke unequivocally that Israel must stop a nuclear Iran (if you believe him-and I do) that means an attack on Iran is imminet. If Iran's nuclear facilities are attacked oil prices will climb, and further cripple an already weakened global economy. If that were to occur, the US economy would be dragged into the gutter, right along with the other global economies, and the US would enter a recession (remember almost every US recession has been precipitated by an oil shock). If the US enters a recession before November, Obama's chances of reelection, despite a somewhat 'challenged' Republican field, would plummet.
....Maybe the above explains Obama's ambivalence (im being kind) towards an Israeli strike on Iran...
