John Bolton, a former United Nations ambassador appointed by
President George W. Bush, has predicted that the state of Israel
will attack Iran's nuclear sites before the next US president
is sworn in.
In an interview with UK's The Telegraph, Bolton said the Arab
world would be 'pleased' at news of such an attack. "It [the
reaction] will be positive privately," he said. "I think
there'll be public denunciations but no action."
However, Bolton panned the idea that an attack on Iran would
be carried out by American forces, stating: ... "the administration
has essentially given up that possibility. I don't think it's
serious any more. If you had asked me a year ago, I would have
said I thought it was a real possibility. I just don't think it's
in the cards."

The 'optimal window,' states Bolton, would be between the elections
on November 4 and the January 20, 2009 inauguration.
"My judgment is they would not want to do anything before
our election because there's no telling what impact it could have
on the election," he is quoted as saying. "An Obama
victory would rule out military action by the Israelis because
they would fear the consequences given the approach Obama has
taken to foreign policy. ... With McCain they might still be looking
at a delay."
