Will Bibi break Obama?

The prime minister of Israel is angry with Barack Obama and is coming here to force a hardening of U.S. policy toward Iran.

“Bibi” Netanyahu had his anger on display at a meeting in Israel with Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

“The Israelis are unnerved,” said Graham. “They think the administration is sending the wrong signal, and so do I.”

What has so enraged Netanyahu? The Obama policy of tightening sanctions on Iran while holding out the opportunity for Tehran to negotiate and provide guarantees that its nuclear program is not aimed at an atomic bomb.

The U.S. intelligence community unanimously believes that Iran is some time away, perhaps years, from being able to produce a nuclear weapon and has not made the command decision to build one.

Israel retorts that Iran is entering a “zone of immunity,” when Israel will lack the ability to attack and abort Iran’s nuclear program, as new nuclear sites are being moved underground. Netanyahu’s government is also angry at what it sees as U.S. leaders’ distancing themselves from Israel.

When that fifth Iranian nuclear scientist was assassinated and Tehran accused America and Israel of complicity, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounced the murder, leaving Israel as prime suspect.

Not WND, Pat Buchanan. And not Anti-Semitic, Anti-Zionist. You have to be careful with the labels. Iran was the original Aryan country according to historians. From Wiki: The term Aryan originates from the Sanskrit word ārya, in origin an ethnic self-designation, in Classical Sanskrit meaning "honourable, respectable, noble".[3][4] In the 18th century, the most ancient known Indo-European languages were those of the Indo-Iranians' ancestors. The word Aryan was therefore adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to native Indo-European speakers as a whole, including the Greeks, Latins, and Germans. It was soon recognised that Armenians, Balts, Celts, Albanians and Slavs also belonged to the same group. It was argued that all of these languages originated from a common root—now known as Proto-Indo-European—spoken by an ancient people. The ethnic group composed of the Proto-Indo-Europeans and their modern descendants was termed the "Aryans". All you have to do is go back to Pat's columns over the years; his writings have been lukewarm at best on the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

I’m afraid the political whitewash of the situation has begun. I believe that the white house told Bibi that he better tow the line or all his funding will be cut.

Bibi is smart but Obama will win the PR war. Can Israel rest their security on the words of this man? We live in dangerous times.

re: “Not WND, Pat Buchanan. And not Anti-Semitic, Anti-Zionist.”

It’s not clear to me how much your distinctions matter.
WND publishes his stuff.

And the Jewish/ Semitic/ Zionist supposed differences mean nothing in our day. The Zionist ‘movement’ is bankrupt.
Israel is the Jewish nation, although there are non-Jews living there as citizens, someone who is anti Israel is anti Jewish. (not anti-’someone living between x latitude and y longitude.)

“We could all pay dearly and we all need to pray for Obama mainly on Monday. God Bless America.”

a) We (and our allies) already ARE paying dearly;

b) BHO already has all the supernatural help he needs;

c) I pray every night for God to deliver us FROM BHO - THAT’S how God will bless America if He’s willing to do it one more time.

We all need to pray for America - NOT Obama. The two are diametrically opposed.

Is that you, Pat?

Good answers. Zorro is voicing RuPaul’s talking points, obviously. RP’s extremely scary on this subject (and foreign policy in general). Comparing Iran to Russia is ludicrous. But then, he’s so anti-semitic that it blinds him to the realities of Islam.
