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

Posted on 05/13/2009 5:37:40 PM PDT by Nachum

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.

Maybe we need to get a nice card for Bibi explaining how sorry we are that half of our country has gotten unspeakably stupid. Then we could all sign it.

I am pretty sure Bibi has BO all figured out & will deal with him accordingly.

Does Obama have an Israeli security clearance now? They’d be fools to tell him much of anything that needs to be secret.

They would need to conduct a background investigation to give him a clearance. Good luck on that. Let us know what you find out....

That could just as easily be Iranian Nuclear Missiles raining down.

Yes, it’s delicious to see a possible schism within the administration, with Hillary being relegated to the shadows and out of the limelight. You KNOW she must often think, “Doesn’t this man know who I AM!” It’s just a matter of time until she rebels and chafes at the restraints. I hope that Bibi knows more about Obama than we EVER will and that his seasoned shrewdness will lead him to make the right decisions with regard to Iran.

I think the best interests of Israel are also the best interests of the US.

When it comes to the 9th Century knuckledragging bums in black robes that currently control Iran,Israel's best interests are the best interests of the entire civilized world.

Hopefully, Netenyahu has a copy of Obama’s “Audacity of Hope.”

” In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans,
for example,
have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions ( huh ??)
and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging.
They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly;
they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something,
that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II,

and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

He couldn’t handle it if he was told well beforehand.

Since the US isn’t buds with Israel anymore I don’t know why Obama feels like he can make such a request.

Here’s what Bibi ought to do:

Play along with the 0.
Tell him of a plan to attack Iran with a date, knowing it will NOT be what they will do.
Wait and see what happens.
If Iran gets wind of the attack like a few days before this (phony) attack happens, then Bibi knows that 0bama can’t be trusted ... at all and Israel has NO friends with this Saudi-bowing administration.

Of course, and I doubt they want to sit around and wait for Obama to give his approval before they instigate preventative measures.

The U.N. chided them when they struck back at Hezbollah.

My guess is that Netanyahu couldn't give two...poops...about what Hussein says.

News flash for Obama: Netanyahu et al is not a community you can organize with thuggish ACORN tactics. You’re an intellectual kindergartner compared to Bibi.

“Obama warns Netanyahu: Don’t surprise me with Iran strike”

Wonder if Obamachev warned Iran to not surprise him with an Israel strike.

Obamachev’ stupidity has made a nuclear exchange a certainty. Israel has every right to nuke Iran.

It will get interesting if Obamachev threatens to nuke Israel, as in the novel Fail Safe.

Boy, this sure puts Israel on the spot. Ubama is a guy who was surprised to learn that nearly 1 million Americans gathered across all 59 states on April 15th.

He was surprised to learn that somebody grabbed his keys to Air Force One and went for a joyride over The Statue of Liberty.

He was surprised to learn that is Treasury Secretary was (is) a tax cheat.

This is a guy who is surprised by EVERYTHING. Israel is in a no-win situation so I say go for it, Israel!
