Spiegel Online writes that a broad ,cross party consensus is emerging in Israel for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilites. Dani Yatom an ex Mossad chief ,but a Knesset member for the Israeli Labour Party and not considered a hawk ,is quoted as saying "We no longer believe in the effectiveness of sanctions .A military operation is needed if the world wants to stop Iran."
Bruce Riedel, a Middle East expert who spent many years working for the CIA, says that an Israeli strike before the end of Bush’s presidency is the most likely scenario and that , if that happens , the middle east will go up in flames.
