Obama defends Iran deal, tells Israelis if anybody messes with you USA will be there
Jerusalem Post ^ | 04/06/2015

Posted on 04/06/2015 5:28:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In New York Times interview, Obama says it has been "personally difficult" for him to hear expressions that his administration has not done everything it could to look out for Israel’s interest.

American would stand by Israel if it’s attacked by any state, including Iran, US President Barack Obama pledged in an extensive 46 minutes interview with The New York Times in which he advocated for the new framework deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.

“What we will be doing even as we enter this deal, is sending a clear message to the Iranians and to the entire region that if anyone messes with Israel, America will be there,” Obama told The New York Times reporter Thomas Friedman.

His interview with Obama, which was taped on Saturday and published on Sunday, was unusual both in its digital format and length.

It gave Obama an extended forum to defend the framework deal, which was agreed upon last week by Iran and the six world powers, including the US. A binding document will only be finalized in June.

In a calm and measured voice Obama explained that this deal was the best diplomatic option to halt Iran’s nuclear threat. It would, he said, provide an almost foolproof monitoring system to ensure that Tehran did not produce any nuclear weapons for at least 20 years.

“I have been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch,” Obama said. “They should understand that we mean it.”

Knowing that Obama will be there after the bomb drops should really allay their concerns.

Obama’s pathological narcissism is apparent in this article. When he boasts that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon on “his watch” but perhaps the day after he leaves office, his absurdity and shallowness are on full display.

Translation: my plans to arm Iran with nukes didn’t go as planned and I’m sorry that Israel won’t be nuked out of existence. I didn’t expect Israel would get the support it’s getting and you’re about to discover I’m really Muslim soooo I’m going to do a little Taqiyyan dance called “I’m really a good guy and a Christian. See I went to a Christian church Sunday for Easter”...

Obama: “Don’t worry, Israel, if anyone stabs you in the back, I will be right behind you.”

He made the same promise to Ukrainians...but then he *did* promise Vlad "flexibility".

Translation....Israelis should understand that when there's a Rat in the White House they are ON THEIR OWN!

See how well that worked out for Ukraine.

Team Obama traded five terrorist generals for one deserter.

That’s all we need to know about the Iran deal.

Yep. We’ll be there to stare at the crater; sometime after the radiation declines and the earth no longer glows red.
