Brent At $126 As Israel Security Cabinet Votes 8 To 6 To Attack Iran

Zero Hedge -- Looking at the tranquil sea that is the S&P one may be forgiven to ignore the rapid intraday surge in Brent which was up over $3 in a few hours, approaching $126 once again. But why?..

Maybe ..this. According to Israel's NRG, in a just completed cabinet vote, for the first time Netanyahu has gotten a majority (8 over 6) supporting an Iran attack. NRG also notes that at this point Israel has decided to not wait until the US elections in November before proceeding with sending crude to the stratosphere. From NRG (google translated): "Israeli political sources believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a majority Cabinet support Israeli military action against Iran without American approval..He announced that he wouldn't hesitate to perform the operation without the approval of President

You don't broadcast that your going to attack your enemy; you lose what if any surprise and therefore increase your risk of failure. Suspect this is bogus; an effort to affect commodity/stock markets.
putt putt All-Star Author Maine Posts:959 Points:980,055 Joined:May 2004	Message Posted: Mar 18, 2012 10:46:18 AM Ignore putt putt Report Abuse I posted this late last night, but it is worth repeating. I feel so sorry for the Israelis. They are under constant attack. On Netanyahu's previous visit to the White House he was blown off and told "I have to go have dinner with my family now." Talk about a slap in the face. Talk about no class. The president wouldn't dare treat somebody from Hollywood like that. He hasn't been in Israel's corner for a long time, and they know it. And how about the time in France when he thought the mike was off. He made a very classless remark about having to deal with Netanyahu every day. They're at the end of their rope and they may strike to avoid being annihilated. Now all of a sudden they're supposed to give the White House their strategy for attacking Iran? If you were them, would you?

And it's five, six, seven, Open up the pearly gates, Well there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopee! we're all gonna die. I guess their is nothing left to do but gas up the car and then go get drunk. [Edited by: Gurgle-Gurgle at 3/17/2012 11:55:10 PM EST]
