NETANYAHU: STRIKE ON IRAN POSSIBLE WITHIN MONTHS

NETANYAHU: STRIKE ON IRAN POSSIBLE WITHIN MONTHS
by joelcrosenberg

"An attack on Iran could take place within a matter of months, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a series of television interviews," reports Haaretz. "'We're not standing with a stopwatch in hand,' he said. 'It's not a matter of days or weeks, but also not of years. The result must be removal of the threat of nuclear weapons in Iran's hands.'" Netanyahu gave separate interviews to all three Israeli television stations, the first he has given since his return from Washington....'I hope there won't be a war at all, and that the pressure on Iran will succeed,' the prime minister stressed, noting that his preferred choice would be for Iran to halt its nuclear program and dismantle the uranium enrichment facility located in an underground site near Qom. 'That would make me happiest,' he said. 'I think every citizen of Israel would be happy....Making decisions isn't the problem; it's making the right decision....If you don't make the decision and don't succeed in preventing this [an Iranian nuke], to whom will you explain this -- to the historians? To the generations before you, and the generations that won't come after you?'"
