Report: Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike
Aretz Sgiva ^ | 3-1-2015 | Mark Langfan

The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back.

The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

SNIP----

Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.

“We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’

Is that REAL ??????? She actually said that ?

I doubt it. She was only in Iran for a short time.

Still, she is undoubtedly a marxist b*itch.

Zbig was one of the most notorious cabinet members of the Carter years. He was a brilliant Cold-War strategist but a deep Polish (?) Anti-Semite. Always was, always will be. He is single handedidly responsible for all of Carter's Foreign Policy quagmires and apparently, Obama’s as well...

Who’s to say that American AAA or pilots would successfully shoot down all the Israelis? I have news for them, Israeli pilots have consistently outscored US pilots in every excercise and they are number 2 in the world (after the US) in EW, ECM...the Americans are in for a surprise too.

That's pretty good.

Do you have a link for it? Or are you just posting your in-box?

So the resident of the White Hut is our enemy. This disgusts me.
No loyal opposition here(when I long for Bill Clinton it’s bad). This is a criminal regime that needs to be stopped.

I believe bade is the proper past tense of bode. It also appears as though you meant It bade, not “I” bade (in place of I boded).

O.K. I’m an idiot. Boded is correct, I just looked. Bade is used as past tense for bid.

I recall reading that we sent a carrier group to sit off the coast of Israel, and that was their mission, intercept an Israeli attempt to remove a nuclear threat. I was surprised to see it as “new” news.

Iirc the admiral in charge said something about that being his mission.

You’re an idiot? I don’t think so! YOU looked it up. I’m the idiot for not, even if I happened to get it right.

Here is everything you need to know about Valerie Jarret:

This photo was taken at the presser for the Jordanian pilot who was burned alive.

She's VERY pleased with a man being burned alive in the name of islam.

Perhaps her parents 'went native', always a risk for diplomats and stary-eyed do-gooders...

PS Snopes has a well established track record of debunking conservatives, and not looking too closely at data against liberals. The confirmation bias is strong in those two.

I do not have any confidence in Snopes. It is a Liberal [Socialists] organization.

So now we OWN the air space over Iraq?? This is an act of war. Obama should be impeached if he did such a thing. He has no reason. No right. No Constitutional authority to go to war against Israel. I stand with Israel. God is on Israel’s side. He is not going to allow Israel to fall. God will punish the USA for our refusal to stand with Israel. Obama is doing an act of war. Our weaked kneed Congress will not do anything. They are a mob of COWARDS. That includes my congressman. I have written him over and over about their refusal to do anything about Obama. THEY ARE COWARDS!!!
