I was thinking the same thing. I think the PM of Israel has reached the breaking point with this knowing full well that there is a drooling dog sitting in Persia who has vowed to drive him into the sea after he turns Israel into an obsidian parking lot for Jordan, Syria,Saudi Arabia and Egypt. He also knows that Iran had their own engineers in N. Korea when puppet boy's missile provided a less than stellar display, but non-the-less they where still there anxious to get these missiles N.Korea provided to them up and running with the addition of their own technology or another couple of hampsters on the treadmill. Mossad probably has a better handle on where they are with this program than anyone and I am sure Israel is looking at all the political support wanning for anymore military action by the US and has realized that about the only way to garner support against Iran is to show that Hizzbolah has joined forces with Hamas under the support and guidance of Iran/Syria. They see the US sitting on the border with Iran and are weighing the discontent Iraq has with Iran's support of the insurgents. Throw in that the price of oil has hit $77 a barrel and will only climb higher the longer this latest episode goes on with very unhappy US folks about the continuing upward price spiral. Now, says Israel, there might not be a better time to pull the trigger on Iran if we can only properly prepare the battlefield , manage popular opinion in the US, and show this to be a last option action for Israel's self-defense because once Bush leaves office we are screwed
