When he visits Israel next month, US President Barack Obama will tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a "window of opportunity" for a military strike on Iran will open in June, according to an Israeli TV report Monday evening.

Obama will come bearing the message that if diplomatic efforts and sanctions don't bear fruit, Israel should "sit tight" and let Washington take the stage, even if that means remaining on the sidelines during a US military operation, Channel 10 reported. Netanyahu will be asked to refrain from any military action and keep a low profile, avoiding even the mention of a strike, the report said, citing unnamed officials.

1 - I doubt he has a message bearing any resemblance to the statement above.

2 - Even if it were true, reporting it kind of closes "the window," don't you think?

He’s telling Israel to stand down the way he told the Marines at Benghazi to stand down.

IMO, makes far more sense for Israel to attack than for the US to do it. We know the Israelis will accomplish their goal whereas we don’t know if Obama would.

If he doesn’t do it before Friday he won’t have a military to do it with according to all the sequester hype.

Yes, Israel, remember the pious Jews of Safed and just "sit tight"! What a container-load of chicken manure!

I believe it’s more likely Obozo is gearing up for a strike against U.S. citizens.

Blah blah blah. Iran-Israel war is imminent.

But the first sentence gives the lie away — Obama would never do anything like this, because it helps Israel and could put Iran away once and for all.

The perpetual war in the Middle East, where nothing is ever really resolved, must continue.

If I was Israel, I would tell obama that they don't want him or the US military anywhere near Israel, or Iran for that matter. any interest obama has in that region has ulterior motives, almost certainly to the detriment of Israel.

If I we netanyahu I would not listen to a word the userper makes...If Obamma tells him that it is only because Obamma knows Iran will have the bomb before then and will use it. He is buying Iran time to get ready...our POS POTUS is a traitor without a clue...

Psy-op on the American People. The Brotherhood knows their man in the W.H. won’t do a thing.
