Investment Bank Memo Warns of an Israeli Plan to Strike Iran

The word is getting out on Israel's impending strike on Iran:

Warning that investors might be "in for a shock," a major investment bank has told the financial community that a preemptive strike by Israel with American backing could hit Iran's nuclear program, RAW STORY has learned.

Recent tough talk by the administration suggests that an attack on Iran is imminent. Part of the reason why an attack is coming soon has to do with the rogue Bush administration's desire to divert attention away from the Iraq fiasco:

Robertson suggests a February-March 2007 timeline for several reasons. First, there is a comparable time line with Israel's strike on Iraq's nuclear program in 1981, including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's political troubles within Israel. Second, late February will see Iran's deadline to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 1737, and Israel could use a failure of Iran and the UN to follow through as justification for a strike. Finally, greater US military presence in the region at that time could be seen by Israel as the protection from retaliation that it needs.

This explains why the White House made so many changes. They want to get rid of all those who would oppose a war with Iran, not to mention those who oppose the current war in Iraq:

In his Jan. 15 update, Robertson points to a political reason that could make the assault more likely - personnel changes in the Bush administration may have sidelined opponents of attacking Iran.
