Bolton: Israel will attack Iran by the end of 2009
That statement is completely and entirely different than this one:

Former US Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, says a military strike against Iran will be the only way for Israel to shield itself, before Iran develops its nuclear weapons program.
He does not predict nor suggest an Israeli attack.

Within the Middle East it is evident that something has to give eventually. There is no balance. The sooner the different countries and regimes work all of this out the better. Even if that means blasting each other into bits and pieces.
It is wise to not take a side in this matter. The wise decision would be to adopt the reasoning that whoever cares the most and whoever gives the most effort shall win and survive in the long run.

The war drums are beating for an eventual attack on Iran. I've simply chalked this up to being inevitable. However, I believe the first strike will come from Israel rather than the United States. The US can't afford the political setbacks such an attack would bring.
An attack by Israel and an "successful" counter attack by Iran would be the leverage the US would need to launch their own invasion.

The idea of Israel attacking Iran does not make sense to me. Israel is surrounded by anti-semitic Islamic states which would annihilate it if it attacked Iran. No country, not even the USA, would openly support such an attack. Israel already has enough to contend with over Gaza, the Palestinians, and Hezbollah. They are heavily occupied in defending their own territory and are not in any position to openly and aggressively begin a military campaign against a powerful Islamic state.
I would be extremely surprised if Israel acted in this manner.
