  1. If the Isrealis attack Iran (and they probably won't), it will ruin Barry's election run but they can't be sure he won't let them take a battering from Iran and allies in the meantime, by 'consulting with other stakeholders'. The republicans would fume and howl but thats of no real consequence until Willard is sworn in.
    This is the military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-zionist-complex firming its grasp on the US treasury as the US turns,um , sour.
