Video: Israel won?t warn the US if it attacks Iran



>>> reports that israeli officials will not warn the u.s. if israel launches an attack against aye raniran's nuclear facility. they will keep the u.s. in the dark for the likelihood that the u.s. will be responsible for failing to stop israel potential's attack. this comes before a planned white visit. it's being billed as a make or break meeting. let me start here with you. obviously, a lot of people saw this report last night, see it today, and wonder why have this information being sourced out now and the timing before the meeting.

>> we have to appreciate there's a complex political game that's going on here. it's almost a political war game . it's war of words as opposed to a shooting war so far. i think the israelis allowed this to be leak because the obama administration is presenting the next two weeks as an opportunity to get control and position itself as the safe broker, as the one who wants to moderate a dip hediplomatic solution. this is something that israel would reserve the right to do any way. there was an announcement.

>> this is not a huge revelation this was part of the conversation.

>> general, obviously, if this were to take place, the natural conclusion is what situation does that put the obama administration in our military. what's your take here?

>> as jim says, i think this is really an attempt by the israelis to enhance their security by bluffing iran. i don't think it makes such sense with their very limited conventional air power to go after the iranians. 72 sites. they got seven aircrafts only that can do air to air refueling . i think they worsen the situation. they lend themselves to massive m missle attack. we'll end up in probable iranian reaction. this isn't a good situation. this is probably not a good time to imploy military power by the i israelis or the u.s.

>> part of this information that was released is that israel sees this as an opportunity to give the u.s. cover in they are not telling the us about the attack so we wouldn't be responsible for having the information.

>> it's a very fine line. there's no way the united states could not be dragged into hostilities. the prospect for a regional war is very high. it would be very hard for the united states to stay out of that if something like that happens. it all comes back to i think this is still political maneuvering because within the israeli government there's great doubt whether there's capability do execute the strikes in any way that would be effective.

>> if what is accurate, it sounds like the military reality trumps all of what we are hearing on the table, this verbal warfare, for lack of a better description.

>> i hope so. they see their national existence at stake ten years out. it's not beyond reason to imagine that he will say we have to roll the dice, get the u.s. engaged. it doesn't make much sense, i don't think, but it's a very understandable argument by the israelis .

>> thank you. we'll be talking with you both on this as we move ahead to the meeting.
