Report: Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike
Israel national news ^ | 3-1-15

Posted on 03/01/2015 3:09:02 PM PST by InvisibleChurch

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.

Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.

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.

That will never happen because:

Isaiah 17:1 “Woe to Damascus; it has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap.”

Remember, “has been taken away from being a city” means there is no means of life; no buildings; nothing.

And .. keep in mind that when Isaiah prophesied this, Damascus was about the only city in that part of the desert, which tells me the destruction will reach quite a few areas around the city.

I agree .. I know our military has always had a very high regard for the Israli military.

Well .. I’m sure she had a hand in deciding that Obama should shoot down the Israli military.

If this is true, then Obama wants Iran to have nuclear weapons and will even kill allies in his determination to arm our enemies.

Our enemy ~ not the 0bamatons’ enemy.

Bibi will never say it...in public.

What about recently retired Benny Gantz?

He had the perfect opportunity to out it with talk about the 2012 plan, and didn't.

FDR, Truman and Nixon all personally disliked Jews but paradoxicly had Jew in positions of great power an influence in their administrations.

I wonder if the US would have been embarrassed, if Israel had been forced to eliminate some of our jets...?

I find it interesting that Obama’s insiders no longer include any Jews. Just a few at Treasury, the Fed, etc., who really are their own centers of power.

All the Jewish insiders that made Obama are out; Emanuel, Axelrod, Summers, Ross, Plouffe, etc. Some admit they were purged by Valerie Jarrett.

That reminds me of a story I read years ago about Israel needing funds to do this or that, I don’t remember but one person said “we should just declare war against America and they’ll defeat us. They’ll do what they do with everybody they’ve fought and give us a bunch of money.” The other guy said, “What makes you so sure they’d win?”

This story is going viral now. It’s funny how the lefty bloggers are saying, “oh, it’s only a story from the Kuwaitis. You can’t trust them.” Really, I thought the Democrats trusted the Muslim world more than the Israelis. The spinning we’ll be hearing next week over this.

Well, from what I can see here, we don’t know for sure if this is really true, but it sounds SO Obama like, that I am sure even if it not true, Obama is so evil, he would like it to be true.

Certainly makes me question that whole, “My Country Right or Wrong” thing.

I stand with Israel.
