Former German foreign minister and Vice Chancellor Joschka Fischer writes that an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities is likely in the near future. With the approaching end of the Bush presidency and uncertainty about his successor's policy, the window of opportunity for Israeli action is seen as potentially closing. "Although it is acknowledged in Israel that an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would involve grave and hard-to-assess risks, the choice between acceptance of an Iranian bomb and an attempt at its military destruction, with all the attendant consequences, is clear. Israel won't stand by and wait for matters to take their course." |

It's always good to get the other side of the story truth seeker, but the Fox news piece you linked to didn't dispute the substance of what Fischer said in the Lebanese Daily Star- i.e. that Israel is very likely to launch an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in the near future.
The Rupert Murdoch owned Fox news network may possibly be attempting to justify such an attack before it takes place ,but it is not giving the other side of the story . It doesn't even mention the threats coming from Israel and America.
