Israel shouldn't attack Iran, because that could worsen turmoil in the Mideast and harm U.S. interests, a senior U.S. defense official tells The Jerusalem Post.
U.S. officials have offered mixed views on that issue in recent months. It becomes more relevant as Defense Secretary Robert Gates visits Israel next week to discuss Iran's nuclear threat. Gates has called that threat the greatest existing to global security.

That’s laughable coming from anyone in the Obama administration considering they’ve been making every effort to harm Israeli interests.

Well, maybe, Israel shouldn’t attack Iran.
But then again, maybe Iran shouldn’t be making threats to eradicate Israel in the first place.
Israel is just responding in kind to a pledge that Iran has already made.

President Obama shouldn’t meddle in the affairs of other nations - per his own statement.

I guess that settles it, and the mad mullahs can rest comfortably. Obama has made the world safe for them. But who knows? Maybe Israel sees itself as a sovereign nation unwilling to let Obama endanger them for his vision of a world won over by his hubris and charm.

Let me guess, the state department also thinks that citizens from Lorton, Virginia should stop building “Settlement” homes in DC.

“because that could .... harm U.S. interests”.
It’s begining to get to the point that whenever I hear one of these clowns bring up “US interests”, they’re meaning our new socialist government’s interests.
Those of you who remember the Bay of Pigs crisis know what the US response was to protect ourselves. We were ready to push the button. I believe that Israel must do what it can to protect itself....everything else is secondary.

Obama seems to have a problem not interfering with Israel. When it comes to Muslim countries, Obama suddenly decides that he can’t even condemn the murder of peaceful protesters.

Ops for this mission could well be underway as we speak. July 22nd is the next new moon and new moons are highly favored by the IDF. God speed!
