Mounting fears that the United States will do nothing to prevent Iran becoming a nuclear power will be outlined by Ehud Olmert, Israel’s prime minister, when he meets President George W Bush in Washington tomorrow.
Israel is concerned that Bush will pass the Iranian hot potato to Barack Obama, the president-elect, while the last chance of destroying Tehran’s nuclear bomb-making programme may be passing.
A Pentagon source told The Sunday Times earlier this year that Bush had given Israel an “amber light” to carry on with military preparations to attack Iranian nuclear sites.
According to Israeli intelligence sources, Iran has sufficient nuclear material to make an atomic bomb. “They are working on three programmes at once,” said the sources. “They are speeding up their centrifuges to enrich uranium, calibrating a warhead to fit their ballistic missiles and improving the range and accuracy of their ballistic missiles.”

“Israel fears US will dither while Iran goes nuclear”
Me too.
Israel shouldn’t have to worry given that Rahm Immanuel is the power behind the throne.
Gosh, what would make them think that??
The new fuhrer will ensure he finishes what the first one started, using the islamic middle east as proxies.
After 20 years of anti-Semite and anti-American preaching and teaching from his esteemed mentor, the deeply hidden convictions of the new fuhrer (and more, importantly, his eminence grise handlers), there can be no other conclusion.
Yes, that seems to be pretty accurate.
Don't count on that. The guy would sell his sister for a buck.
rrright. obama is the master manipulator.
Just what I was going to say. WHen the headline reads ‘Obama aide presses congress to do such and such’ it really makes me think that no one will be seeing O speaking off the cuff, or see him at all unless it is a photo-op that is carefully staged.
His ‘aides’ will be doing the talking AND the thinking - just like it has been throughout his campaign. And the ruling as well, one supposes.
I wonder, will Immanuel and Podesta be taking the oath along with Obama? That would be a photo-op to remember -
They should be afraid.
Well, considering that Israel gets a lot of funding from the US, Israel can buy Immanuel off since Immanuel is for sale to highest bidder.
Too bad Obama has such Jewish support in the US.
“Israel fears US will dither while Iran goes nuclear”
No shi’ite Sherlock!
US Jews have insured Isreals DESTRUCTION>
It was clear Bush wasn’t going to actually do anything about Iran years ago.
Now The One is going to talk them out of going nuclear - not.
So Iran going nuclear is a given.
obamma will stand with the Muslims. Just read his book.
Israel...Strike today or Die tomorrow
Don’t worry. Hillary has great negotiating skills. She’ll be able to work out a deal with the Iranians. /s
Don't pin your hopes on that. People like Immanuel crave power. Never forget that. As long as they think they can maitain power they will screw you in a heart beat. If that means sucking up to Iran that is the direction they will go.
