    Panetta lets stand report Israel may attack Iran

    BRUSSELS (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta won't dispute a report that he believes Israel may attack Iran this spring in an attempt to set back the Islamic republic's nuclear program.

    Panetta was asked by reporters to comment on a Washington Post opinion column by David Ignatius that said Panetta believes there is a "strong likelihood" that Israel will attack in April, May or June. Ignatius did not say who told him this.

    Asked whether he disputes the report, Panetta said, "No, I'm just not commenting."

    He added, "What I think and what I view, I consider that to be an area that belongs to me and nobody else."

    He noted that Israel has stated publicly that it is considering military action against Iran. He said the U.S. has "indicated our concerns."

      The only reason Israel hasn't attacked Iran yet is this - the Israelis are waiting for the U.S. to do it for them, thereby expending OUR resources and lives instead of them expending theirs.

      I'm with him...keep them guessing. The truth is we aren't in control of Israel..in that regard..nor should we be.... I would hope against the odds that it will happen.. that nothing will happen... just being a realist...

      Considering the posturing by Iran, I wouldn't want to be a counter puncher in this conflict.

      How much is oil going to go up to now? Either do it or shut up. I am already paying too much for gas. And I am not getting a second job just so I can pay for the gas to get to my first job.

        True enough, it is hard enough keeping food at the table.

        I like your unselfish view..to wage war now...based on your need of lower gas prices....have you tried emailing them.. ?...I could come up a bunch myself...

      ISRAEL is not going to sit around for four years trying to decide if they are working on a bomb that could blow them into non existence. I think it is a safe bet they are going to do more than talk about doing something. And quickly.
      • Justice 3 mths ago
        Hope Israel will do it all the way. Do it right or don't do it at all.
    • Ben  •  3 mths ago
      If there were going to be an attack, nobody would be talking about it. Russia pulled the plug on the military option when they weighed in a couple of weeks ago.

      Israel is desperately trying to salvage some illusion of relevance.

      If the Israeli's attack Iran they should attack Iran's "parliament" and destroy the government!

      When Russian army marches the sound is so thunderous that the ears of all within go deaf from the onslaught of heroic Russian soliders. Boots will march as far as the eyes can see as Russia reclaims what is rightfully the motherlands. It is good to be Russian!

      This is ww3 if we get involved, I hope we do not because 2/3rd of the world would be against us after being the UN's guido. Better wake up people. Israel is the little punk on the playgound

      N. Korea has nukes but no way to deliver them. What makes Iran any different if they were to develop a nuclear warhead?

      This issue should have been dealt with for years. Instead the world procrastinated, pretended that diplomacy works with the mollahs and other nutcases. Israel has to act because back in 1979 an imbecile at the WH thought that supporting the shah was less important than promoting some changes that led to dreadful changes. Now Iran leads international terrorism (Hizb in Lebanon, Hamas, etc). This Iranian threat was 30 years in the making and we are now close to pay severe consequences unless Israel can be brave enough to clean up the mess we created there. By we, I mean US, Europe and countries that have close ties with Iran (China, Russia etc).
