Netanyahu and Elections

There hasn't been much news coming out of Israel in recent weeks, but that all changed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement that Israel's next elections would be held a year early.  At first I didn't think much of it until I stumbled across this article.

Could this be a move by Netanyahu to strengthen his position to attack Iran?  I don't know the answer to that.  However, what I do know is that Netanyahu is one of the most shrewd statesmen in international affairs, and I would not be surprised if this is part of his plan.

One note to go along with the article:  If what this article states is true that pushes back the April-June timeline that U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta put forth earlier this year.
