Netanyahu: I am not interfering in US presidential election
jpost ^ | 9/14/12 | HERB KEINON

In interview with the 'Post', PM says his call for US to set red lines for Iran not connected to US election: "The Iranian nuclear program proceeds unabated and they don’t care about the internal American political calendar."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu dismissed as “completely groundless” allegations he is manufacturing a crisis with US President Barack Obama just before the November 6 American election to influence the outcome in favor of Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

Netanyahu, in a Rosh Hashana interview with The Jerusalem Post that will appear in full on Sunday, said his call for the United States and the international community to set red lines for Iran was not at all connected with the US political campaign.

“It has nothing to do with the American elections, because the Iranian nuclear program doesn’t care about the American political calendar,” the prime minister said.

“If the centrifuges stop miraculously, if they stop preparing enriched uranium to make atomic bombs, then I suppose I wouldn’t have to speak out.

God, I cannot believe they are going after Netanyahu. These people are truly despicable. They can’t stand losing.

I have never seen anything like this in my life. US is taking the side of terrorists agains Israel. Jimmy Carter did the same thing with Palestinians

That's a pity, because it's in his country's and indeed the world's best interest that he do so and try to take down Obama.

BiBi tried to set up a meeting with The Won. The Won was too busy.

At this point BiBi maybe thinking...I’ll do what is best for Israel..the US elections have just slipped to low importance in my world.

Obama and his crew are marxists, America-haters, blind and delusional fools, total incompetents, and for his so-called Jewish advisors (Axelrod the Red; Wasserman-Schulz the Stupid; Schumer the Slimy, etc.), we have a name for them - KAPOS.

To call a fellow Jew a “KAPO” is the greatest insult you can throw on them. KAPOs were Jews who helped the Germans during WW2, often by betraying other Jews, in the hopes that they would stay alive. George Soros is the top KAPO living today, but Axelrod is close behind him.

A curse upon them: “May you die yesterday”.

IMHO, a large citizen American (and other nations) volunteer program would be a good idea for Israel. I’m sure there are plenty of ex-military who would volunteer, and Israel could develop even more independent capabilities. I know there is such a program and there are limitations, but the more men and equipment the better. Obama will clearly restrain American help for Israel as much as possible. IMHO, it looks like the mooslim bro’hood is going to try to make as much headway as possible towards political takeover of all mideast nations before obama leaves office, knowing that nobama gives them maximum latitude to operate.

IMHO, Israel should prepare for massive conventional war with numerous neighboring countries simultaneously, without help from the U.S. military.

IMHO, they should have as much help as possible from any and all citizens of “sane” western nations, and accept no communist-bloc help at all, since that would vastly complicate the situation and make it less probable to get the American government to help. If the American government does help that would of course be best, but nobama will try to restrain that as long as possible.

IMHO.

I can’t even begin to think what Bibi thinks about the homosexual, choom gang, (p)resident that parties in Vegas, is too busy to meet with him, but can be on Letterman, gives interviews to “limp the pimp,” and does fund raisers with Beyonce and J-Z. Also, who was that rapper that he recently said was on his iPod that had lyrics so vulgar I can’t repeat?

Bibi, Obama does not speak for us. I can’t send rockets or ships, but I can do one better- I’ve been praying for the peace of Jerusalem for decades.

Obama laid out the deal for Israel to retreat to it’s pre-war borders. He wasn’t kidding and he’s not negotiating.

He doesn’t care if it is done via war against Israel and they are brought to their knees and forced to surrender by the Muslims and their allies. He’s not an ally of Israel and in his mind, Israel must meet his territorial demands or be totally isolated and attacked. He strengthed the hand of Israel’s radical Muslim neighbors via the regime changes.

He also does not care if the US has oil from the Middle East either. He hates oil.

I’ve thought the same thing but I imagine the logistics would be a nightmare....bringing a bunch of volunteers who aren’t up to speed on weapons and don’t know the geography with no place to sleep. Plus you gotta’ feed them.

Bottom line is any and all who would volunteer would probably be best used as canon fodder.

Bush did it with the Palestinians also. “The Gaza pullout was completed on 8/22/05. Hurricane Katrina then struck exactly one week later on 8/29/05. Coincidence?”

I wonder what will happen this time.

One, seriously, has nothing to do with the other.

Chisel a line in Granite and when crossed...it’s game on, like Donkey Kong...

No, he’s playing it smart. Any time a foreign leader takes a partisan stance on another country’s internal politics, that leader is running a gambit. If the wrong guy wins, the gambit fails. Bibi is being smart and staying out of it.

Volunteers as in ex-military. Especially jet pilots.

Much like the AVG during WWII.

They already have top quality training.

It is that little soetoro man who has made such a mess of his so-called Presidency that such “interference” nonsense in it could even be claimed.

I dunno, I'm not so sure. If he doesn't interfere and Obama wins, Israel is going to get thrown under the bus big time anyway. I figure it's more of a gambit to not interfere and hope for Obama to suddenly make a wild turnaround and become sympathetic to Israel if he wins.

Carter may have done things, too; but Bush was very much a part of the Gaza forced pull out of the Israelis.
