Report: Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike
Aretz Sgiva ^ | 3-1-2015 | Mark Langfan

Posted on 03/01/2015 9:36:33 AM PST by tcrlaf

The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back.

The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

SNIP----

Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.

“We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’

I’m not sure his presidency would last more than a week after such an action

Didn’t Saudis offer their airspace to attack Iran?


Yes, they did! I can’t get a feel for when this happened, the article just says ‘sometime in 2014’.

Thats a nice little fantasy but has no basis in fact. Liberals are liberals first, second, and third. I would be shocked if donations dropped by 15%

I hope this can be proven because it is such a big charge that the proof of this will show for even the most foolish Obama fan that Obama is putting the interest of the mad mullahs in Iran ahead of the interest of the USA and of Israel. No one in his right mind thinks the world will be a safe place with Iran having nuclear weapons. At the least there will be an arms race that will make suck up billions and maybe trillions of dollars.

And Brzezinski has been so much of an Iran supporter since the overthrow of the Shah that one has to wonder if he isn't a paid agent of theirs.

It isn’t too much for me to believe.

I cannot think of a single redeeming quality of this man that would make me think that this isn’t likely to be true.

I mean not one thing.

Break ski is one of the reasons Carter didn’t support the Shah of Iran

No one would lift a finger to stop him.

This man can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, for whatever reason he wants with no consequence at all.

“...that Obama might order the USAF to stop an Israeli attack on Iran.”

Hmm, that would require the US KNOWING the Israeli planes were in the air AND would require us to have planes ready to take to the air to shoot them down OR have earth based weapons to shoot them down.

PLUS, the Israeli planes are not going to sit there and let us shoot them down any way we think we can. Frankly, instead of Israel’s planes going down, our planes may hit the ground instead.

When Israel bombed Iraq’s nuclear location a number of years ago, no one knew it until it was over.

I recall a few months ago, Saudi Arabia told Israel they could fly over their air space to get to Iran.

Israel isn’t going to let Iran keep working to get the bomb, they aren’t going to let that happen, period.

Dear Lord! This is even worse than I thought! Our nation (under Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama Barack) has directly invited God's curse upon us.

We are an official enemy of Israel, and His chosen people.

Obama is an evil pig.

No one, and no nation, can violate Genesis 12:3 and get away with it!

I wish there was a way for the curse to fall upon those who worshipped and worship Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama Barack, but I wager the curse will be upon our entire nation. Expect the worst, and then double it.

“I’m not sure his presidency would last more than a week after such an action”

Knowing that we would get a week of endless sycophantic media worship of Obama’s “BRILLIANCE!” and 24/7 memes cheering how “BRAVE!” a decision it was, etc., Late-Night Comics and the Daily Show trashing anyone who would dare to oppose it, can you REALLY say that??

That’s what I’m afraid of, too. No doubt that we all fall short, but in recent years things have become much worse. Too many people have no shame and no moral compass, hence the turd in office.

Could this be what Drudge tweeted about when he said OBAMA was worried about something becoming public?

That could be any of numerous things.

Congress wouldn't end the nightmare, but Mossad might.

I am in complete agreement and completely sure that PM Netanyahu will include this extremely pertinent information in his speech.
The demoncraps are fleeing like a bunch of rats out of an old burning barn, and I’ll bet Obomination is drinking straight out of the bottle into a coma as he washes down handfuls of pills, snorting coke and smoking a giant joint.
Doesn’t matter where the heck he’s hiding out while all this is going on—he’s going to be hanging on every word because he’s scared out of his tiny little mind. Way too scared to concentrate on golf I’ll bet.
