Domestic Consequences

David Gelernter writes for The Weekly Standard that it is likely the U.S., not Israel, will attack Iran in the early autumn several weeks before the November election. He sees this as having domestic political consequences, take a look:

It would probably lead to Obama being reelected. Americans would rally behind the president; and the unpleasant after-effects of the attack would still lie mostly in the post-Election Day future.
