Obama's 2012 reelection plots unraveling, getting cold feet on Iran war

[moderate libertarian]

Obama's masters may have thought that an election year attack on Iran could reinvigorate Israeli/Jewish lobbies support & funding for him but that plot seems to be unraveling. US has just cancelled massive joint military exercise with Israel for fear of further escalation of tensions with Iran. This is happening at a critical juncture in light of recent developments:

- Leaking of marines video showing them urinating on dead Afghan's bodies could mean Afghan war front could remain hot or get hotter in 2012 for US troops
- Western intel officials publicly blaming Israeli agencies for assassination of Iranian scientist by car bomb
- Hezbollah linked terror threats against Israeli targets in Bangkok. Hezbollah now has friendly allies in Iraq

An attack on Iran could lead to very probable three active war fronts for US in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq losing any gains of $3 trillion efforts of last 10 years and massive retaliations against Israel/US economy. Almost certainly an election losing scenario for neocons plant Obama.

I predict, there will be no US attack on Iran anytime soon, almost certainly not in 2012.

I've said from the beginning they can't risk a war before November. It could go their way...or it could go very bad...as in helping Ron Paul.

Isn't Hezbollah also talking with Turkey?

I hate Obama, but I don't think it's about him getting cold feet, as much as I think it's more about him having enough sense to know what it truly is the US would step off into with open military action against Iran.

To be clear, when I said Obama, I meant to say "Obama's masters". Hopefully that clarifies cold feet statement.

Obama might have feet but don't think the guy has spine or free will when he plays the President's role in our political circus.


Afghan strategy has been complete failure with no end in sight, few logical options other than abrupt end of occupation declaring it a freedom quagmire.
