Jeffrey Goldberg writes today: “President Obama promised to kill Osama Bin Laden. He did. He promised to withdraw American troops from Iraq. He did. He promised to kill Anwar al-Awlaki. He did. He promised to make Afghanistan the focus of the War on Terror. He did. Obama has said, repeatedly, publicly and unconditionally, that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable to him. He has said that all options are on the table. If I were the Iranians, I would take him at his word. And if I were Israel, I would take him at his word as well. (Obama’s feelings about Prime Minister Netanyahu are not particularly material in this discussion, in part because the president understands that Iran is a problem for the world, not just for Israel.)”
The question of whether Israel should trust Obama is intriguing on two levels: 1) Will Obama use force to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and 2) Should Israel entrust its existence to Obama?

No
If I were Israel, I would be taking care of myself. Obama said he will handle Iran in 2012. One big problem, he probably won’t be President in 2012. So then what? Is Israel supposed to just sit back and wait and see what happens? I don’t think so. Iran is the worlds problem now and the world best stand up and take notice. I would take Iran out before they start another world war.
Just wondering, who will pay for this world war? The Chinese?
I don’t see a world war if the Iranians are bombed, but then again I’m an optimist!
Trust Obama?
One word: TAQIYYA !
President Obama promised to kill Osama Bin Laden. He did. He promised to withdraw American troops from Iraq. He did. He promised to kill Anwar al-Awlaki. He did.
Let’s be perfectly clear and honest. Obama did none of these things. Forces in place and fighting the muslim war long before Obama was elected killed, Yes Obama allowed those forces to act though I have an idea these things would have happened regardless of Obamas approval or not.
Zero also said he sat in a “church” for a few hours each week, for twenty years, and never noticed what the “minister” was screaming.
Jeff Goldberg’s a partisan media shill.
Thanks SJackson.

His term doesn’t end until Jan. 2013, do you have evidence that he will not finish his term?
Big effin deal, the writer misstated himself with a bad timeline. We all know what he means, except for you, I guess.
I asked a legitimate question, some people seem to believe there is something afoot. I was simply asking if the writer might know something I don’t. Then you came along and made unwarranted assumptions and tried to act superior. Have a nice day.
