Romney Apparently Doesn’t Want Israel to Attack Iran (For Now) - the Atlantic
Mitt Romney’s announcement that he will be visiting Israel later this month puts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister, Ehud Barak, in a rather odd position: If they were to launch an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in the wake of that visit — and I think it is plausible, though not probable, that they would act fairly soon — it would smack of conspiracy. How could Netanyahu receive the American opposition candidate for president, a man with whom he is reputedly close friends (though I think the relationship between Romney and Netanyahu is a bit overstated), and then pivot and strike Iran?
