A perfect storm brews in the Middle East (Ignatius lays out Zero's grievances toward Bibi)
Washington Post ^ | February 16 at 8:43 AM | David Ignatius

TEL AVIV — This latest breach in the U.S.-Israeli relationship began around Jan. 12 with a phone call from Netanyahu. Obama asked the Israeli leader to hold fire diplomatically for several more months while U.S. negotiators explored whether Iran might agree to a deal that, through its technical limits on centrifuges and stockpiles, extended the breakout period that Iran would need to build a bomb to more than a year. But Netanyahu is said to have responded that a year wasn’t enough and to have reverted to Israel’s hard-line insistence that Iran shouldn’t be allowed any centrifuges or enrichment.

Relations began to unravel quickly after the phone call. On Jan. 21, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) invited Netanyahu to address Congress and share his concerns about the talks.

Then came the alleged leaks about the nuclear talks. On Jan. 31, the Times of Israel reported that an unnamed senior Israeli official had told Channel 10 TV news that the United States was ready to allow more than 7,000 centrifuges and had “agreed to 80 percent of Iran’s demands.” Channel 2 reported that the U.S. offer was 6,500 centrifuges. U.S. officials believed that Netanyahu’s office was the source of these reports and concluded that they couldn’t be as transparent as before with the Israel leader about the secret talks.

Asked for comment, an official in Netanyahu’s office said: “The details of the last round of negotiations are known in Washington, Paris, London, Moscow, Beijing, Berlin and Tehran. It is perplexing that a decision would be made to try to keep those details a secret from Jerusalem when Israel is threatened by Iran with annihilation and its very survival could be threatened by a bad deal.”

Netanyahu’s speech to Congress is scheduled for March 3.

Dear WaPo,

YOUR president is a muzzie.

Learn it, live it, and love it.

Because when it finally comes out, you deserve what you most surely will receive.

Obama thinks he knows better what is good for Israel ... better than Prime Minister Netanyahu.

BUT ACTUALLY ... “this” is what is going on ... in regards to the Jews and Israel!

Sept. 30, 1938 | Hitler Granted the Sudentenland by Britain, France and Italy
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/30/sept-30-1938-hitler-granted-the-sudentenland-by-britain-france-and-italy/

In the early hours of Sept. 30, 1938, leaders of Nazi Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy signed an agreement that allowed the Nazis to annex the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia that was home to many ethnic Germans.

Nazi Fuhrer Adolf Hitler had threatened to take the Sudetenland by force. The Czechoslovakian government resisted, but its allies Britain and France, determined to avoid war at all costs, were willing to negotiate with Hitler. On Sept. 29, Hitler met in Munich with Prime Ministers Neville Chamberlain of Britain, Edouard Daladier of France and Benito Mussolini of Italy to reach a final settlement.

Czechoslovakian leaders were not included in the talks, having been given a choice by Britain and France: accept the terms or resist the Nazis on their own. The New York Times reported on Oct. 1 that Czechoslovakia “accepted the Munich terms and Premier Syrovy, announcing, ‘We have been abandoned,’ made a protest to the world.”

Obama apparently is ready to allow 7,000 centrifuges. Do they need this many? Are centrifuges used for nuclear power or bombs, or both?

If I were Israel I would be stockpiling every type of weapon system I could get my hands on. We all know what’s coming. Bibi is a student of the Bible, so he knows. Obama and ValJar cannot and should not be trusted.

Centrifuges are used to enrich the uranium for the bombs.

That’s what I thought. So how is Obama allowing this? (*sigh* This is a rhetorical question.)

Obama desperaty wants to keep protecting and financing the Islamonazi nuclear bomb attack force - as long and as much as he can get away with. I doubt anything Bibi might say when he shows up for his invitation to Congress can change this, no matter how afraid obama is Congress has too many members who’ve already sold America out They may squeak some but will do nothing significant to stop obama Pray for America

P.S
Saddam Hussein had 2.2 metric tons of enriched uranium created from centrifuges.... that he didn’t have. ( according to revisionist media history )

“Centrifuges are used to enrich the uranium for the bombs.”

A little clarity is needed here. Centrifuges are used to extract the element (uranium 235), (u235) from yellow cake. Thus u235 which is enriched to about 3% is used as fuel in a reactor. u235 enriched, by a centrifuge, to 90% or more is what is needed for a uranium core to go super critical when crushed by an explosion.

This nation turns against Israel, and it is going to burn. End of story.

In other words to make the bomb really go kaboom...: )
