Report: Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike
Aretz Sgiva ^ | 3-1-2015 | Mark Langfan

Posted on 03/01/2015 9:36:33 AM PST by tcrlaf

The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back.

The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

SNIP----

Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.

“We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’

If Israel ends up having to nuke Iran to prevent that country from developing nukes and a modern missile technology to deliver them, Obama will have no one to blame but himself.

If he’s determined to oppose a limited strike on Iranian assests, he’s likely to get an unlimited strike, in the sense that Israel may be forced to nuke the ayatollahs with ICBMs, which the jug-eared tinpot cannot shoot down, except in his dreams — Oh, wait, jug-ears opposed the ABM, didn’t he? lol Anyway, I hope this is Bibi’s message.

I’ll answer that when you explain how it’s relevant. Is he a Jew? Is Israel his homeland? Sorry, but you don’t get to change the subject.

I'm not changing the subject. I'm illustrating that the principle by which liberal Jews would quit the Democrat party is analogous to the way conservatives are and have been quiting the GOP in recent years. Continued support becomes unpalatable. If you think that a direct and unprovoked attack on Israeli jets by the US military under orders of the ranking Democrat, that would result in the deaths of Jewish pilots defending Israel and that would spark a wave of Arab violence against Israel would be collectively shrugged off be american Jews, your mistaken.

I've been saying for nearly TWO years that we have a Muslim president who is running interference for his radical Muslim brothers.

What keeps people from accepting that fact?

Cowardice - especially of 6 letters in the alphabet arranged to form the word

RACIST.

Really it's mind boggling - some people would rather die than being called a word.

I’m pretty sure there aren’t enough fellow travelers in US warplanes to do it.

He’s got a list plenty long to impeach, this just adds to it. Impeach and arrest for treason.

Perhaps some “rogue” USAF Flag Officer (ex: Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper) has “re-targeted” a few of our own missiles, so to strike Obamaville ... and thus solve the world’s biggest problem for all of us.

I agree.

If true this is beyond treason. It could almost be Biblical.

We need more confirmation on this. Even for Obama, it is almost too much to believe.

More confirmation than this, an unattributed claim four-times removed!?

The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

I’m sure she had her spiked leather collar around Obama’s sodomite neck, while he was on all fours - barking like a dog.

If this is true then it is important to note that not a single military commander resigned over this, as any honorable officer/general officer would.

That is perhaps the single most important point.

If the military will execute an order like that, or even acts like they will, we have a problem bigger than we can ever imagine.

Israel should have called his bluff

he does not have the balls and I doubt any true military commander would have shot at an ally

that might have actually caused them to consider forcibly removing him from office

My goodness. If this is true, then it's no wonder the relationship between the USA and Israel is as strained as it is.

But I expect no less from Obama. He's a muslim and he will act in conjunction with his beliefs, and in doing so will further cement God's judgment upon this nation. When things fall apart, and they will, we can blame him.

See my tagline.

ANY attack in the Israel is an attack on the People of America.

This would start a short but quick Civil War in the US.

Hoe disgusting, worse than Benedict Arnold to sell out one of our closest allies?

I can’t even believe what I’m reading.
