In an explosive report we learn that ever since 2012, the United States has been spying on Israel in order to prevent the Jewish State from attacking suspected Iranian nuclear sites, according to Friday’s Wall Street Journal.
The White House had sent an additional aircraft carrier to the region after learning that Israeli aircraft had flown into Iranian airspace in what U.S. officials feared was a test run for an attack on Iran’s Fordow plant. The carriers had attack aircraft on board prepared to respond to any Israeli attack on Iran.
If that wasn’t enough to strain the conceit that the U.S. is Israel’s strongest supporter, U.S. officials also revealed to the Journal that Israel was responsible for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.
Several U.S. officials also claimed that Israel wanted to strike Iran in 2012, and that the United States pressured Israeli officials into retreating.
The U.S. attempted to keep its nuclear power negotiations with Iran concealed from Israel because of disagreements over the extent to which Iran should be permitted to pursue a nuclear program. Israel took the position that because Iran has an abundance of energy resources, it had no peaceful purposes for its nuclear program.

“If we down one Israel aircraft that will start CWII and Washington will disappear.”
I believe those contingency plans most certainly do exist, so you are correct, despite how absolutely terrible and ugly such would be. Lord have mercy on us.
This is actually a part of the Iran agreement. Pretty sick. Will be glad when the net President nullifies it.
..........this is someone blowing smoke out their derriere with stereo sound!
.........First, if anything, Obama has proven that he does not have it in him even for a small fight much less a MAJOR MAJOR all time fight!
Second, I do not see any such order getting obeyed! Maybe, but I doubt it!
Obama’s goal is to destroy America with his old allies, everyone in islam.
He has done his best to destroy and alienate our allies while funding and promoting the strengthening of the islamic world at Americas expense.
Their target is the Little Satan and Great Satan,
AND they are harnessing the UN.
Soon he will be taking more of Americas resources to turn them on American citizens on American ground.
Blaming the Jews? Don’t get paranoid.
Nobody is blaming the Jews for 70% of them voting for Obama.
But why would such a large percentage vote for Obama? He obviously is not a friend of Israel and he has treated Israelis so poorly.
See #23
You can bet Mideast air traffic is monitored not just by ground sites but Air Force aircraft and probably done so continuously, as well as sat monitoring.
.........my two points attempt to make the point that Obama is so gutless he would never seriously entertain ordering the US Military to attack Israel.
Please clarify your point.
Thanks.
It was to give another bit of data about the idea in this article, the idea that Obama threatened to take out Israeli jets.
The picture at #23 is of part of the new Iran nuke deal. This part says the US will help the Iranians protect their facilities from attacks. This isn’t conjecture. It actually is part of the deal.
Do you view Jews as your enemy ?
A few people would celebrate such an order, but very few of those would be in uniform. The antisemitic losers are in the Democrat party, but they are community organizers and politicians, not members of our armed forces.
A few people would have the courage to openly disobey such an evil order. I would guess that non many in uniform would directly refuse an order like that.
Most, I would guess, would implement the order ineffectively. "We have an order from the National Command Authority to intercept the Israeli raid now in progress against Iran. I want the Combat Air Patrol on the deck immediately for diversity training, gender sensitivity training, and sexual awareness training. Once we have achieved our quarterly training goals, let me know, and we'll schedule an intercept."
Or the pilots could do the equivalent, and many would rather than (1) face allies in air-to-air combat, and (2) help Iran to finish building nukes to use against Israel and then against us. Obama disgusts me, and the overwhelming majority of men in uniform are patriots, so they feel the same.
Self conflicting statement of the day.
Yes, it dates back to the Rathergate scandal
and the notion of “truthiness.”
heheh, you’re right there!
Great point!
Missed it the first time!
Real Clear Politics article sent to me tonight 70-30 Trump against The Beast!
If accurate, it won’t make much difference what the fine print of that “writing” between the Ayatollas and Traitor 1 & 2 said (obama, kerry).
However, it's pretty clear within the Iran Nuke Agreement about protecting Iran against attack on their facilities. I'm still flabbergasted that the Senate accepted the Corker bill. However, below is Senator Ted Cruz statement:
“I voted no on cloture because we should have insisted on amendments to put real teeth in this bill. Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama’s ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal. I will continue to lead the fight to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to protect the national security of America and our allies.”
Disappointed, but understand his reasoning. So far, nothing has changed. Iran doesn't have their 160 billion terrorist funds and the Supreme Mullah prick has negated the entire agreement by not signing it and saying he won't, and has actually written a new agreement that they will enforce. Maybe Ted Cruz was right.
Kerry's deal is dead in the water according to latest reports from the Ayotollah. Any wonder we don't hear from him of late? He should be all over the news continuing to brag about his and Opeaser's big accomplishment, while supporting some Dimocrat presidential nominee.
I actually saw a piece on this a few years back, and that’s another reason I’m willing to give credence to the notion of Obama blocking Israeli jets. I’ll see if I can find the old article.
Hasn't he gotten rid of all those likely to do the right thing yet?
:Not if it concerns Islam. Islam is a socio-political system masquerading as a religion.
.......would definitely like to see it!
I just believe the curtain hangar doesn’t have the guts to initiate an all out war with Israel in which the US could take huge losses. The Israeli Air Force is not exactly an incompetent organization.
This discussion does highlight one point though. Namely, I think our 300 million Americans most dangerous time in history may be upon us. With one year left, this miserable excuse of a human might do ANYTHING!
