Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said the United States had forfeited its moral right to stop Israel taking action against Iran's nuclear program because it had refused to be firm with Tehran itself.
In comments which appeared to bring the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran closer, Netanyahu took the Obama administration to task after Washington rebuffed his own call to set a red line for Tehran's nuclear drive.
"The world tells Israel 'wait, there's still time'. And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?'" said Netanyahu, speaking in English.

Which means a very very long time.
Does anyone have any doubt anymore that Barry wants to give Iran time to produce a weapon? That he thinks a nuclear Iran is a good idea because it will strike a blow against the "Zionist entity" which he despises?
The only thing better to drive the point would have been to speak "Wait for what? Wait until when?" in Kenyan.
If American Jews vote for Bozo again they are idiots!
I’m calling BS, Hillary is no doubt hoping that Bibi fires off some attack, first it cripples the Obama re-election campaign and secondly she and others like her in the D coalition will have something to hold over their jewish cohorts. Hillary wants war.
Apparently Netanyahu is not optimistic that 0bama will “be more flexible” related to Isreael in his second term.
...only a couple more days.
I really hope Israel does wait until AFTER our election to pull the trigger. First, because they’d not get 100% commitment from our Muslim president and secondly, I’d hate to see 0bama get a ‘wartime president’ bounce.. A war should hurt 0bama’s reputation but the media will spin it to make him look like Winston Churchill.
But if we give them billions of dollars we do get some say on what they do...
Wait, the phone is ringing.
Nǐ hǎo, President Hu. Yes sir, yes sir. Right away sir!
Israel would like to wait until late January unless they are convinced that Iran is about the cross that red line.
Wait until it’s too late...
This implies we are doing something to physically stop Israel from taking action. Is this really true? Or is "stopping them" effectively refusing to aid them?
There is a difference, particularly because of the Russian warning that an attack on Iran would bring "unimaginable" consequences.
Our calculations align.
“Ben, Wait until after the elections. Then we can work together to write a “stronly worded letter”. After that, we can get together and talk about potentially considering a deadline for considering some alternate, more potentially meaningful, course of diplomatic action that includes a vague nuanced implication of potential military action.”
-Barack Obama.
Israel should just go ahead and let us know how it comes out. I don’t want any American involvement if they choose to attack 78 million people in a sovereign country. I will tell you this. WE ARE BROKE!! I say if Iran ever fires a nuke at our border ,when Russia didn’t do so, I would be very surprised. But remember this about the “doctrine of preemption” ,which is a gross violation of international law, tt works against Israel too. With all the breast beating, they just might get preempted first.
Never ever trust the Bamster
yes, our Muslim in Chief wants a diminished or destroyed Israel. His (in)actions speak louder than his words.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said the United States had forfeited its moral right to stop Israel taking action against Iran’s nuclear program”
Then don’t let it. If Israel needs to protect itself why would you care what the US does?
You do not have to put down American to support your position.
but the media will spin it to make him look like Winston Churchill.
What? The moronic main stream media has anointed him Messiah how much higher can you go? I hope the alphabet networks suffer for their treason.

Just like he’s intentionally diminishing us.
I tend to agree Mary, if Iran represents a true existential threat to Israel then Bibi should just quit whining and shut his trap and rev up the jets and the Nukes! We’ve already been drug into too many Mid-East interventions!
So what’s he waiting for? It’s his military, Israel should do what they need to do.
The Israeli attack and our possible involvement may boost Obama as CIC. It’s a real wild card.
A quick strike before Rosh Hashanah? Or in time for Yom Kippur?
Chills up my spine to think of the shofar sounding with explosions in the background.
Would be most interested in your thoughts.
The most infamous example, from a few months ago, was the disclosure that Israeli aircraft were secretly deployed in Azerbaijan.
-— The Zero administration has on several occasions leaked sensitive military information to the press, and hence to the Iranians, regarding Israeli military deployments. -—
How could the Israelis trust him? They should have tested him with false info. Or maybe they did...
Thursday night.
Well, the U.S. does get a say, Bibi's discomfiture on the point n/w/s, since without sustained U.S. support, some of it unwilling (the AJC blackmailed Harry Truman into recognizing David Ben-Gurion's government in 1948), the Jews of Israel would have been reduced to lampshades in Mecca a long time ago.
That's the basics.
Does anyone have any doubt anymore that Barry wants to give Iran time to produce a weapon? That he thinks a nuclear Iran is a good idea because it will strike a blow against the "Zionist entity" which he despises?
No, I don't have any doubt about that; and in fact, I think Barry is setting us up -- on purpose -- to get nuked by somebody, by eliminating so much of our nuclear arsenal and ruining our finances, that we'll drop from being the "hyperpower" (thus the cheese-eating surrender-monkeys) of the planet to a second-rate power in a world reorganized by the mullahs, Putin, the Chicoms, and bit players like Hugo Chavez.
Who, by the way, is allowing some sort of rocket base to be built in northern Venezuela, I keep reading. He wants to play "Cuban Missile Crisis Round II" with us, no doubt using someone else's nuclear IRBM's.

It has been going back and forth-they are never going to
agree for peace. Watch the movie The Kingdom of God.
It is just like right it is now. Accept. It.
NOvember 7th, after ObamO is defeated, may to soon.
Oturd could still do a lot to mess with Israel.
Even as a LAME @UCK!
Those last two month are going to be the scarriest two month since probably the two month folling 9-11. ONly its our “own” Prezbo who we need to worry about.
I say on or about the 15th
Were you "very surprised" 11 years ago?
The difference between Israel and Iran is that Israel will attack missile sites and nuclear facilities. Tehran will nuke Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
... giving the current administration 30 days to respond in the affirmative with regard to a potential attack on Iran.
The implication was that Israel would ‘go it alone’ if that affirmative response was not given.
I can not recall on exactly what date that interview was broadcast ...
... but if you are looking for it, I would start by finding the ‘New Moon’ this month (later this week, I think), and count backwards 30 days +- one or two.
For those actually looking for it, even on Fox, it was a 1-day news cycle item. IF the current administration answered the Ambassador, either way, I am not aware of it.
In another month everyone will be screaming about how there was no warning.
The 15th is what everyone with a calendar says.
I say the 12th for the primary attack, with the same calendar conditions allowing followups for 5 full days.
The Israelis would do America a great favor if it waited until after our elections to deal with Iran.
Obama needs to energize his base. He found out during the Democratic convention and its aftermath how to do that. Seldom have the Democrats been more energized than when they were booing God and Jerusalem. And the majority of Americans apparently agrees with them since the post-convention bounce put Obama’s approval rating above 50 percent.
An attack by Israel on Iran would re-energize this majority to go to the polls for Obama. Why would the Israelis want to help Obama win re-election?
If Obama wants to energize his anti-God and -Jerusalem base, the Israelis should make Obama do it himself. History gives him many precedents; for example, since many Jews themselves are anti-God and -Israel, a Yom Kippur eve rally in Times Square along the lines of the Nuremburg rallies would likely attract multitudes of passionate Obama supporters.
So, he wants to act to protect himself because Zero refuses to take action? Where does he think he is, Arizona?
Azerbaijan is an Islamic country. Do you, in all honesty, truly believe that nobody in Azerbaijan notified the Iranians of Israel's military assets there? Really?
I think that because of the distances involved, Israel has to presume that Iran is well aware of gross movements of equipment and personnel. The only things they really cannot know is the time and the plan of attack.
If they are sending press releases, the attack is not even close.
Stop being played by the media. IF Israel decides to attack, the first thing you will hear about it will be a smoking hole in the desert.

Azerbaijan is no friend of Iran.
The Zero administration leaked the information.
Whether you care to believe it, those are the facts.
If Israel hits Iran, Hizbollah will hit the USA.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Are you saying Iran attacked us?
One woman, a recent law school graduate claimed that America was the biblical promised land, not ‘ some location in the Middle East ‘.
“There is a difference, particularly because of the Russian warning that an attack on Iran would bring “unimaginable” consequences. “
I can almost guarantee you that Israel is saving one of their last nukes for Moscow, with ground zero there being where-ever Putin is that day.
