Former UN envoy Bolton says Washington pressuring Israel not to strike nuke facilities.

Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton expressed concern Sunday that Washington was coming to terms with a nuclear Iran.

“I very much worry the Obama administration is willing to accept a nuclear Iran, that's why there's this extraordinary pressure on Israel not to attack in Iran,” Bolton told Army Radio.

The former envoy claimed that this pressure was the focus of last week's meetings in Washington between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyhau and US officials, including President Barack Obama.

Bolton said that the Obama administration had embraced the view, prevalent in Europe, that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the key to the resolution of all other conflicts throughout the Middle East, including the Iranian conflict.

He added that the rift in US-Israel relations stemmed from a fundamental difference in the understanding of the Middle East and Israel's role in the Middle East, and is not really about east Jerusalem at all.

Bolton said that the treatment Netanyahu received during his visit "should tell the people of Israel how difficult it's going to be dealing with Washington for the next couple of years."

“Resigned to a Nuclear Iran”? More like delighted that a nuclear Iran can now counter-balance Israel in the Middle East.

I stopped reading at "Obama resigned".

Me too. Although the thought of President "Clueless" Joe Biden does get the heart started again...

Resigned? He’s done everything he can to insure it.

If Muslims truly believed Jerusalem was holy to them, they would be horrified at the possibility of Iranian nukes turning the city into a nuclear wasteland, wouldn't they? Millions of Muslims would be in the streets, demanding that the Iranians NOT lay waste Jerusalem.

But this is really about killing lots and lots of Jews. It has never been about anything else.

Oh freaking please.

The headline should properly read, Hussein plans a nuclear Iran

"MY new presidential helicopter.
...will let ME cook while America is under nuclear attack."”

I was going to talk about the word “resigned”, but it looks like everyone else noticed too. I might have gone with “delighted”.

Resigned to nukes in Iran but not to the condominiums in Jerusalem which are equivalent to WMD’s, I feel safer now!

[mlocher]

I did the same thing. Holy Week, the dem messiah resigns. Jesus comes to town on a jack ass. The jack ass leaves town....

How long before 0bama blames Bush for not disarming Iran when he had the chance?

If Muslims truly believed Jerusalem was holy to them, they would be horrified at the possibility of Iranian nukes turning the city into a nuclear wasteland, wouldn't they? Millions of Muslims would be in the streets, demanding that the Iranians NOT lay waste Jerusalem.

They might also want to update the koran so that it includes at least one mention of Jerusalem.

So, the flap this week was really cover for the real discussions about the coming war. O said don’t count on us and Bibi said ok. Clown went to supper and Bibi didn’t back down.

The war is coming

[DuncanWaring]

Wonderful.

The Won thinks it’s just fine to have nukes in the hands of someone who thinks he can bring about a worldwide Islamic paradise by precipitating a nuclear Armageddon.

He may or may not be Muslim, but he’s certainly a Muslim sympathizer.

The maoist is praying for the destruction of Israel.

[arthurus]

Is “resigned to” or “Welcomes?”

[broken_arrow1]

Obama telling Israel what to do is like Hitler telling the Jews to just die with dignity.

[rbg81]

I expect that Obama will pressure Israel to disarm as a “goodwill” gesture to Iran. The amazing thing is that some Israelis will be more than happy to march into the proverbial “gas chamber” if Obama decrees it.

[Vaduz]

The idiot Obama thinks international events are a stomach problem.
