Arnaud de Borchgrave, a CSIS senior advisor, published a commentary in the Washington Times, "U.S.-Israel moment of truth?."
Israel's message to its only ally, the United States was quite clear. Either President Bush orders military action or Israel will have to strike on its own.
It can't wait till a new U.S. president is sworn in because the new White House tenant could well be Barack Obama. And Mr. Obama almost certainly would not approve an Israeli air strike without first going several extra miles on the U.N. and Western diplomatic track. This could even lead to the kind of rift in Israeli-U.S. relations that occurred when President Eisenhower ordered French, British and Israeli forces out of Egypt in the 1956 Suez War.
