From The Jerusalem Post:WASHINGTON - Israel is seriously considering taking unilateral military action to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, according to a report by top US political figures and experts released Wednesday.
The report also says Israel's time frame for action is growing shorter, not only because of Iranian advances, but because Teheran might soon acquire upgraded air defenses and disperse its nuclear program to additional locations.
The report, "Preventing a Cascade of Instability," was put out by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP). It also argues that international sanctions against Iran need to be intensified urgently for the engagement the Obama administration is planning with Teheran to be effective.

My Comment: This report is coming out only hours after Sec. of State Hillary Clinton had met Israeli leaders. From my vantage point .... it appears that Israel is not satisfied with the assurances from the U.S. that they will neutralize Iran's nuclear ambitions.
This is a very worrisome development. It shows that Israel has no confidence with President Obama's administration .... and worse .... it appears that the U.S. is not ready for an Israeli response and/or attack on Iran. This lack of direction and leadership from Washington is giving the green light to Israel to do something .... which they may do.
