Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to rally support in his cabinet for an attack on Iran, according to government sources.
The country's defence minister Ehud Barak and the foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman are said to be among those backing a pre-emptive strike to neutralise Iran's nuclear ambitions.
But a narrow majority of ministers currently oppose the move, which could trigger a wave of regional retaliation.
The debate over possible Israeli military action has reached fever pitch in recent days with newspaper leader columns discussing the benefits and dangers

Announcing and actually DOING are totally different things.
Especially ``when the situation can change at any moment``... like an attack on Iran would mean lots of Iranian-backed attacks on NATO troops in Afghanistan... more weapons in Talibans hands, more men, etc...
Iraq would probably turn into a civil war.
And then when all that happens, all the ``we are withdrawing troops`` is off the table.

We need a war on capitalism, not a war on iran.
The first will actually solve problems, while the second will only make things infinetly worse.
Perhaps the ptb are getting nervous with all these ows protests and are looking for distractions?
Hmmm

readying up - is an understatement when you live next door to a n RAF-USAF Base! the bets are on the table and i'm with the "will strike in weeks" group and i'll be cashing in my winnings hehe.
Don't forget we here at ATS have been debating this "conspiracy" for months and now the MSM are getting official heads up that it's likely to happen, that's serious, because the MSM's sponsored mission is majority populous preparation in favour of governmental decisions that may cause outrage but requires justification and public backing.

Show me one way fighting Capitalism will help ANYTHING. Keep in mind destroying capitalism will mean destroying business, which will mean destroying institutions (like science and education fields that recieve donations from these businesses), which will in turn destroy many jobs, which in turn will leave us in an even DEEPER hole we are in now. People don't really think these "War on Capitalism" things too far do they?

It is a shame all ISRAELS MUST DIE when it is the ZIONISTS agenda.
Trita Parsi, in the book Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States, writes that a senior Israeli official met with a representative of the Khomeini regime in France one month prior to the Israeli attack.[47] The source of the assertion is Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli government employee. At the alleged meeting, the Iranians explained details of their 1980 attack on the site, and agreed to let Israeli planes land at an Iranian airfield in Tabriz in the case of an emergency.
