Obama warns Netanyahu: Don't surprise me with Iran strike
HaAretz ^ | 5/13/2009 | Aluf Benn

U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the U.S. with an Israeli military operation against Iran. The message was conveyed by a senior American official who met in Israel with Netanyahu, ministers and other senior officials. Earlier, Netanyahu's envoy visited Washington and met with National Security Adviser James Jones and with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and discussed the dialogue Obama has initiated with Tehran.

The news recently that Iran was alerted to a possible Israeli air strike by Russian spy info, while Iranian planes gathered for an airshow, was bs.

Could it be that there was an Obowma leak of the Israeli intentions?

STFU.

Just do it.

Ubama is a guy who was surprised to learn that nearly 1 million Americans gathered across all 59 states on April 15th.

Wait 'til he finds out how many guns and how much ammunition ordinary Americans have bought since it looked as if he would win the election. I

I was thinking the same thing.

Might as well get on the phone with Achmenanutjob and say “we’ve launched our fighters and should be there in about an hour”.

Another great example.

“i know people like that. i am Jewish”

If it’s any consolation to you, we Christians are with you.

Conservatives speakers have been threatened and banned for years on the gulags known as college campus’. If you don’t know who David Horowitz is, get to know him.

None of us, Christian or Jew, have fought back at the rise of the left as we weren’t sufficiently threatened. Now we are.

yes, i have heard David Horowitz speak, and i know exactly what you are talking about. recently, i have been inspired by the example of Carrie Prejean, as i am by VP Cheney battling back against the Obama smear machine. they are standing up for what they believe in, against the viciousness of today’s political climate. we all need to continue to do that. for there are many of us. i’m glad we’re standing together.

...it is not PC and they are afraid - people in my congregation don’t want to hear this. they don’t want to believe it. and the queasiness in my stomach just gets worse and worse when i put all the pieces of the puzzle together in my mind, Obama’s distancing himself from Israel, his bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, etc etc.

Ironic, isn't it? The political party that American Jews overwhelmingly support with their contributions and votes is, in fact, one of Israel's biggest enemies.

And they seem oblivious to this fact.

Between AWACS, Aegis and satellites, I have a hard time believing that we won’t see what’s happening....unless we’re not looking.

Absolutely. Which begs the question; why did Zer0 issue this public ultimatum? The only purpose I can think of is to undermine Israel's position.

I remember that news clip from last year when BOZerO visited the Temple Wall in Jerusalem. As he was walking away one Israeli was shouting “Jerusalem is not for sale Mr. Obama. Jerusalem is not for sale”.

Do you suppose he also asked the Iranians for a heads up before they attack Israel? I bet that request was unnecessary.

My nations people will never again go willingly into the box cars.

Or, more appropriate to the current situation, to the open air crematoriums.

They say "Never Again". Beni means it.

My guess is that it's CYA so if Israel does attack, Øbam-bam can satisfy his Saudi-smoochy-smoochy-ring handlers who really do want Israel to bomb the Shiite out of Iran. Just a guess.

This mamzer thinks he is king of the world and can tell Israel what it can and can’t do. Listen up, you son of Satan: The Land and People of the Book are protected by the Lord God Almighty, and He has put a warrior in charge—Benjamin Netanyahu, who does not fear you and will do what is necessary to protect Israel. The Lord said “Touch not mine anointed,” and THAT MEANS YOU!

it is so bad that Jewish professors, tops in their fields, are afraid to defend Israel’s right to exist in public. it is not PC and they are afraid

Be not afraid of any man,
No matter what his size.
When danger threatens, call on me
And I will equalize.

Nothing else works with the PC crowd when they are in lynch mob mode.
