I've Been Thinking:

Israel is preparing for any and all contingencies regarding the US presidential election.

What most concerns Israel hinges on an Obama victory.
Should Barack Obama become the next president of the United States, Israel expects that he will launch direct talks with Iran almost immediately.

The idea that Iran and the United States will be engaging in face to face high level meetings is shocking to most Israelis, but never the less, Israel has teams preparing a series of responses.
The end result of Israel's contingency plans provide for trilateral Iranian / US / Israeli talks.

Big questions arise:
What will happen to the Iranian enrichment programs?
How long will it take for Obama to be taught a lesson in the Middle East before he returns to the old model?
How much damage will be done in the course of this little experiment?
Will Israel's strategic security be compromised by the US/Iran dialogue?

At this point it is all hypothesis and contingency.
We'll know more after November 4th.
