US offered Israel advanced weaponry in exchange for delaying Iran attack: report

WASHINGTON -- The US offered to give Israel advanced weaponry -- including bunker-busting bombs and refueling planes -- in exchange for Israel's agreement not to attack Iranian nuclear sites, Israeli newspaper Maariv reported Thursday.

President Obama reportedly made the offer during Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington this week.

Under the proposed deal, Israel would not attack Iran until 2013, after US elections in November this year. The newspaper cited unnamed Western diplomatic and intelligence sources.

Netanyahu said Monday that sanctions against Iran had not worked, adding that "none of us can afford to wait much longer" in taking action against Iran's controversial nuclear program.

However, Netanyahu told FOX News Channel on Wednesday that he did not think war with Iran was inevitable. He added that the only way to deter Tehran was to advocate carrying out a serious military strike against the Islamic Republic.

"The paradox is that if they actually believe that they are going to face the military option, then you probably will not need the military option," Netanyahu said. The US also believes there is still a "window of opportunity" for the dispute to be resolved diplomatically.

How can the Israelis trust any weapons supplied by the US since - for no particular reason, of course - January of 2009?

well, its nice to know that evidently we got a promise from the mullahs to not attack before ‘13 either...

Bribing Israel to delay war until after the election. I am seeing a pattern here folks:

Delay tax increases until AFTER THE ELECTION

Delay spending cuts until AFTER THE ELECTION

Delay energy price increases until AFTER THE ELECTION

Delay war until AFTER THE ELECTION

Delay Obama-care until AFTER THE ELECTION

You forgot one:

Delay Second American Revolution until 'AFTER THE ELECTION'

I'm waiting for the day 'AFTER THE ELECTION' that 0bama gives a speech that turns out the same way Nicolae Ceausescu's speech of 21 December '89 turned out.

That Marxist swine is not immune from joining his Communist predecessors in the history books the very same way.


[Any federal maggots from the DHS, TSA, SS, FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, etc., can KMFA, I am doing nothing more than speculating on how the history of our great Nation might turn out. After all, I would never advocate violence against any elected official, that's against the law! :)]

Bibi needs to attack Iran before the US elections. That way, oil prices will rise, causing higher gas prices and roiling financial markets just in time to sink hussein. It will also prempt any media/hussein October surprise. That’s a two fer against 2 evil dictators.

But Odumbo will only give them one bullet.

Then, if I understand this correctly, our Great Leader just told the Iranians that they have a window of 9 months in which to complete their bomb.

I would call that a green light for an Iranian crash program.

Thanks sickoflibs.

• Obama's latest campaign promise: weapons for you IF you won't attack until after reelection
• US offered Israel advanced weaponry in exchange for delaying Iran attack (until after election)
• Obama To Give Missile Secrets To Russia With Love?
• Homs devastation shocks UN humanitarian chief
• Carl Levin calls for hearing on plans to cut Selfridge personnel by one-third

[GoldenPup]

Exactly.

A solution is being worked out for a peaceful resolution. Iran will allow inspectors and only use enrichment for peaceful purposes. The U.S and Europe will lift sanctions and Israel will agree not to attack. Another JFK missile crisis has been averted.
