Obama says no military solution to Iran nuclear program (Israeli TV Interview)
Times of Israel ^ | June 1, 2015, 1:13 pm EDT

Posted on 06/01/2015 10:55:51 AM PDT by Dave346

US President Barack Obama tells Channel 2 in an interview that he can “demonstrate” that a “verifiable” agreement with Iran will be the best way to contain Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

“I can, [I] think, demonstrate, not based on any hope but on facts and analysis, that the best way to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon is a verifiable tough agreement. A military solution will not fix it, even if the United States participates. It would temporarily slow down an Iranian nuclear program but it would not eliminate it,” he says.

Asked whether Israel may attempt a military strike without notifying the US, Obama says, “I won’t speculate on that. What I can say is, to the Israeli people: I understand your concerns and I understand your fears.”

The full interview with the US president will be aired on Tuesday.

Traitorobama and his demonicrat supporters prefer the solution of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

That is like playing stud at a poker table and showing the opposition your hole cards. I guess the old adage about speak softly and carry a big stick is kind of loss on our tanned crusader.

If Barack Obama says there is NO military solution to given a problem then logic dictates that there MUST be a military solution to said problem - probably a very simple and viable one.

I don’t get the reluctance to do the OBVIOUS thing, which would be to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities WITH NUKES, which would completely destroy them. Why are our best weapons always off the table?

Obama stated regarding Iran....”A military solution will not fix it, even if the United States participates”....

He said basically the same for Syria, Ukraine, Yemen and all the other conflicts where at most he’s using drones and air targets.

Obama will never actually “go to war”....he only plays on the edges as a “participant” in the M.E. for he said...“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

Obama BEGINS wars as a means of leverage and strong arming....he will never carry them to the desired end of winning one..ever.

The only error is that Obama would be riding side-saddle.

People don’t want adults in charge because they expect others to act like adults.

Put his statements through the Obama translator and you get: Kill the Jews, expand the Caliphate and injure America.

What a completely ignorant statement.

Ludicrous.

OF COURSE there is a military solution.

That would be like saying there is no military solution to Nazi Germany.

The same person that cannot fix the ISIS problem is pontificating on how to solve the Iranian problem. That’s a rich one.
