In early March, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported Barack Obama had offered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government the latest in “bunker busting bombs” along with advanced refueling planes in exchange for the PM’s promise to delay any attack against Iranian nuclear facilities until 2013. It was a clear attempt by Obama to bribe the nation of Israel into refraining from war until AFTER the November election. (1)
Naturally, Regime spokesmen denied a story so uncomfortable for Obama, especially in light of his already dwindling support among even the most dependably liberal of voting groups—American Jews. And the New York Post came to Obama’s indirect defense using the words of Netanyahu himself as the PM said war with Iran was not necessarily unavoidable. “The only way to deter Iran [is] to advocate carrying out a serious military strike…” wrote the Post of Netanyahu’s stated belief that Iran would back down if it believed an attack inevitable were the Islamic nation to continue its current course of action. If Israeli leadership itself believed war could be avoided, why discuss bombs and planes, after all! (2)

He could give such an order, but he would be under arrest within five minutes. Take a deep breath.
Most of the leftists I know that are aware of the Iran situation think Obama is forcing war with them. So actually going to war with Iran would lose him votes.
October suprise is not Foreign Policy.
October Suprise will start in July with the approval of the Keystone Pipeline and how Obama in his genius was just doing his due diligence.
This will be coupled with the new route for the pipeline creating a cleaner environment which the greenies will hail as miraculous.
Add in the collusion between the Whitehouse ans Wall Street, the speculators drive the price of oil down which Obama then uses as a hammer on the oil companies and showing the American people that America can be productive without the energy companies gouging us.
Did I fail to mention the jobs report which would put the hundreds of thousand of new jobs in before the pipeline even has a starting date?
Bull.
ozero has already demonstrated that he can act above the law and NO ONE with any power is stepping up to stop him.
His very presence in the White House is proof enough of that.
Try opening Keystone, first.
