About a year ago I recall Olmert meeting Putin and saying that everything was in perfect order, although superficially that was far from being true because of the syrian deals. <BR/><BR/>So I have the same suspicion. Further, I would bet that the qpq from Israel would be to take no more actions than are necessary to prevent war, and certainly not to start one. Though I do think taking out an Iranian nuclear program would be within the envelope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-10593791663954320422007-10-01T01:21:00.000+00:002007-10-01T01:21:00.000+00:00How about this for speculation with out even a shr...How about this for speculation with out even a shred of evidence.<BR/><BR/>Russia is playing a double game, selling out its Arab "friends".<BR/><BR/>I can't put my finger on it, but there is a nagging suspicion in there.M.

This means that if American or Israeli forces are going to attack Iran, their attacks must come soon.</I><BR/><BR/>That is an assumption. How about this for a counter assumption. There is nothing wrong with the Russian gear, Israel was just that good.<BR/>That would mean there is no urgency to bomb in the next two months. Syria and Iran will spend Millions more looking for a flaw that doesn't exist, and later find out that they are just as naked as before.<BR/>I like my assumption better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-91631352510072408202007-09-30T16:37:00.000+00:002007-09-30T16:37:00.000+00:00YOU ARE 100% CORRECT.
