I mean, who knows? They're all as twisty as corkscrews. Guardian:

The United States is stepping up efforts to dissuade Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, with a strong public warning by the US military's most senior figure and the dispatch of two high-ranking officials to Jerusalem.

General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, said in a television interview that it was "not prudent at this point"[Not close enough to the elecion? False flag operations not in place?] to attack Iran, and "a strike at this time would be destabilising".

But in a comment likely to fuel speculation about Israel's military plans, he added: "I wouldn't suggest we've persuaded them that our view is the correct view." The two countries were having a "candid, collaborative conversation" which was continuing, he said.

On the other hand, "candid" is code for "My hair is on fire about this."

As indeed it ought to be. I mean, letting Israel off the leash (assuming that Israel is the leashee, and not the leasher) just so a bunch of Christianist loons can wank about The Rapture... Not the best plan, perhaps?
