My Comment: I am very skeptical of this report, especially since Israel has already admitted that they were responsible for this attack. But the question still begs itself, would the U.S. strike into Gaza against a known Al Qaeda threat, even if it jeopardizes the Israeli - Palestinian peace process. My bet is that President Obama will give the order to strike.
