President Obama threatened last year, according to Middle Eastern news outlets Sunday, to use the U.S. military to shoot down Israeli fighter jets if they attempted to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities — reports the administration denounced later Sunday as flatly untrue. Mr. Obama’s threat reportedly deterred Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from dispatching warplanes into Iran after Israel discovered that the U.S. had entered into secret talks with Tehran and that the two countries had signed an agreement, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. In a statement to The Washington Times early Sunday evening, a senior administration said “that report is totally

Saudi Arabia to allow Israel use its airspace for Iran strike
Published on Feb 26, 2015

Saudi Arabia is apparently prepared to allow Israeli jets into its airspace to conduct attacks on Iran. That’s according to a report by the Israeli Channel 2 TV station, citing an unnamed senior European source.

So it wouldn’t matter anyway if BO threatened or not.

Actually considering the report came from a Muslim country ... you can’t ever believe them anyway. They believe the Jews kill Arabs for their blood and put it in their crackers ... LOL ...

These are also the same people who believed that the Jews did 9/11 ... :-) ...

Is it any wonder that they’re telling this wild tale, too? ... LOL ...

..........FUN FACT.......

Russia gave Israel the codes to turn off Russian supplied SAM’s in Syria when Israel bombed their Nuclear facility.

Russia might do the same when Israel bombs Iran just to P*ss Bo off.

The report comes to light just before Bibi arrives for his speech.

The report forces Obama to deny any such thing ever did, or would, happen.

Bibi can now make his speech laying out the existential danger to Israel... if Obama forces through a weak agreement with Iran Bibi can act and Obama having stated that he would not hinder Israeli planes in a strike on Iran will be unable to interfere.

This is the sort of thing that you see when a weak leader is outmatched by at least 70 IQ points.

What if Obama did order the shootdown of Israeli plans and all the US assets were “waiting for parts”?
