Barack Obama will never forgive Benjamin Netanyahu for being right about the Iran nuclear deal. In his new memoir, Promised Land, Obama writes that the Israeli prime minister’s “vision of himself as the chief defender of the Jewish people against calamity allowed him to justify almost anything that would keep him in power.”
In fact, Netanyahu put his job on the line by doing something few Israeli voters support—he challenged an American president and potentially endangered the U.S.-Israel relationship. In March 2015, he went over Obama’s head to make his case to the representatives of the American people and told Congress that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) would give Iran a clear path to the bomb. Since many restrictions were due to expire by 2025—the so-called “sunset clauses”—Iran would have an industrial-scale nuclear weapons program in about a decade.
“We’re being told that the only alternative to this bad deal is war,” Netanyahu told Congress. “That’s just not true.”
Netanyahu was right. Donald Trump pulled out of the JCPOA in May 2017 and there was no war.

Yup. And once it's on fire again they'll say it was Trump's fault.
Why in the hell would anybody want to attack The United States with nuclear weapons?
Nuclear weapons work best against cities.
Our cities are killing this country.
Why would our enemies want to stop that?
And it is based on simple Jew hatred. Obama’s book, and indeed his whole presidential experience, was a continual exercise in such primitive hatred, from his execrable treatment of the Israeli PM, to his staff referring to the PM as a “chicken shit,” to the green lighted nuke deal for Iran. He can try to justify it as he did in the above quote, but the jerry wright style hatred fairly drips from his actions.
The only bomb Iran is getting is the one that will blow them to smithereens!
Obama and Biden were wrong on most everything.
Israel doesn’t have to kiss the American MSM’s a*@ or the DNC, either… watch the Israeli’s go full rogue on that one!!! 😊
Iran is not developing nukes to attack the US. They have another, closer target in mind.
Tel Aviv
Biden’s fault.
“Obama writes that the Israeli prime minister’s “vision of himself as the chief defender of the Jewish people against calamity allowed him to justify almost anything that would keep him in power.”
And this action is one of the four reasons I hate liberals. If you can’t disprove or persuade incorrectness even if it is done through lies, you smear the messenger. Their hate has no limits and no integrity.

Surely the Israelis have warned the mullahs “don’t even think about nuking us because we have nukes right now!”
A worse fate for the mullahs is an EMP pop over Teheran.
With governmental control obliterated, the Iranian people would rise up like fire ants and decorate all lamp posts with mullahs and IRGC bigwigs.
The issue is that one well placed nuke takes out Israel, but if Israel fires its entire stockpile, much of the Muslim world still survives. So there is no “mutually assured destruction” policy possible in this scenario.
That pretty much leaves Israel in the same boat as in 1967 - strike first to survive. And strike when the enemy’s first strike is known & imminent.
Nasser was all set to bomb Israel when the IDF beat him to the draw.
Nuking every Arab capital including Mecca will blow the Arab Muslim world back to the Stone Age where it was in Mohammed’s time, but that won’t save Israel.
Of course, the Israelis have had the last seventy plus years to plan every contingency and they know all the details far better than you or I. I’ll bet every time a plane takes off in Iran the IDF knows about it. And they continue to improve Iron Dome; each Kassam missile they intercept is just target practice for improving the system.
The longest running question: how do a few million Jews in Israel hold at bay 350 million Arabs who want them dead?
“The longest running question: how do a few million Jews in Israel hold at bay 350 million Arabs who want them dead?”
By the grace of God.
Amen, bro.
Israel will bomb Iran to protect itself.
Will the Doomsday Clock go to zero when Biden gets signed in?

This Apostate named Barak Obama ....

Who in their right mind, regardless of any payoff they have received or will receive, sees the world as a better place with a nuclear-armed Iran in it?!
