President Barack Obama promised a group of Jewish leaders that he would stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons but said hes refraining from extra chest-beating as he pursues a diplomatic solution.
The hour-long meeting with some two dozen American Jewish leaders Thursday was closed to the press, but the Israeli daily Haaretz managed to nevertheless get comments from those who met with the president in advance of his upcoming trip to the Jewish state.
Israel and the United States share the same intelligence on Iran and therefore have a good understanding of how close the Islamic Republic is to having a functioning nuclear weapon, Obama told the leaders. Still, the allies are divided over where to draw the red line from which there is no choice but to attack Iran, Obama reportedly said.
Obama also reportedly quoted a Chinese saying attributed to military strategist Sun Tzu, according to Haaretz: Build a golden bridge for your opponent to retreat upon.

He promised Iran wouldnt get nukes. That settles it. They will get nukes.
Yes. Chest-beating. Whatever you say, Neville.
If this country and freedom are to survive, we need to stop listening to what Obama says and watch what he does.
Always remember, Obama is an illegal alien Moslem whose sole allegiance is to Islam. He is dedicated to imposing Islamic rule over the entire world. And the only way he can do so is to destroy America.
And he is well on his way to getting that done!
Obama forgot the rest of it...
Build a golden bridge for your opponent to retreat upon,
then burn it while he’s on it/kill him when he tries
to step off it.
With every passing day, I grow more and more ashamed of the so-called “leaders” of the religion that I practice. How on G-d’s green earth can people be so frigging stupid as to continue to fall for the lies, half-truths and fabrications of the Demonrats in general and the Kenyan Interloper in particular?
Not only do the Dems continue to keep the Black people of this country “on the plantation”, they keep the Jewish people of this country “in their pogrom”.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
....and when you consider that Jews, comprising about 6% of the US population, might have had a decisive effect on election 2012....
Iran is not our problem, al-Qaeda is. Iran is the problem of Israel and Saudi Arabia. I’m beginning to think we have a lot less to fear from our Iranian “enemies” than we do from our Saudi “friends”.
DO YOU MISS ME YET?
Obama,, your cell awaits you.
He was not containing anybody. Don’t ever mistake Saddam for Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi or Hosni Mubarak. If Saddam was friends with Assad to the point of trusting him with Iraq’s chemical weapons and enriched uranium, then he had already fixed his relations with Iran too, and who knows what the cost of that.
You can go back to DU now.
Duh, did B. Hussein Obama beat his chest when he told the Jewish Leaders not to beat their chests?
“President Barack Obama promised a group of Jewish leaders that he would stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons...”
No he won’t, and don’t bet the future of the Israeli people on the word of a feckless twit who is a habitual liar.
Predictable behavior of Liberals and Communist (really don’t know what the difference is except the method of getting to the final goal.)
Iranians, Syrians, Egyptians, (etc - etc - etc) can threaten Jews all day long and nothing is said but let a Jew stand up and let them know they they won’t stand there and take their crap and to expect retaliation and BOY OH BOY do the Libs yell.
Try again. Figure under 3%, closer to 2%.
The Colonel is a black conservative freeper
and anyone who knows me knows I don’t grant brownie points for skin color and he and I disagree pretty strong on Southern historical issues
but he is no liberal and certainly no DU troll
and he has been here 8 years longer than you
just saying
I got nothing against you either and yes i agree with you about Iran
but i am about truth..as I see it or empirical..hopefully they don’t diverge much
truth is conservatism..even the ugly
To say “Iran is not the problem” is denying reality, though. Iran’s the number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism, and out of any state in the world, they are most likely to use a nuke as an offensive weapon.
And with all due respect to the Colonel and yourself, this thread is not about Saddam. Iran’s made direct threats against Israel, to wit the intent of wiping it off the map. Just an aside, but since Iraq’s constitution both under Saddam and the present Shi’ite-dominated government (both were Islamic constitutions, for the record) named Israel as Iraq’s number-one enemy in the region, Saddam therefore was no different from Iran.
To Olog-hai, I just think with our limited resources, we cannot afford to fight the whole Islamic world. If possible, we must try to preserve a tolerable coexistence with an Iran strong enough to serve as a counterweight to a militant Sunni hegemony. The worst thing for Israel would be to face such a monolith.
