Obama's Green Light To Attack Iran
The Jerusalem Post ^ | May 7, 2009 | By Caroline Glick

Posted on 05/08/2009 8:49:26 AM PDT by Fennie

Arctic winds are blowing into Jerusalem from Washington these days. As Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's May 18 visit to Washington fast approaches, the Obama administration is ratcheting up its anti-Israel rhetoric and working feverishly to force Israel into a corner.

Using the annual AIPAC conference as a backdrop, this week the Obama administration launched its harshest onslaught against Israel to date. It began with media reports that National Security Adviser James Jones told a European foreign minister that the US is planning to build an anti-Israel coalition with the Arabs and Europe to compel Israel to surrender Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem to the Palestinians.

"...Jones was quoted in a classified foreign ministry cable as having told his European interlocutor,
"The new administration will convince Israel to compromise on the Palestinian question.
We will not push Israel under the wheels of a bus,
but we will be more forceful toward Israel than we have been under Bush."

He then explained that the US, the EU and the moderate Arab states
must determine together what "a satisfactory endgame solution," will be.

As far as Jones is concerned, Israel should be left out of those discussions
and simply presented with a fait accompli that it will be compelled to accept.

The Obama White House's bald attempt to force Israel to take full blame
for the Arab world's hostility toward it is not the only way that it is casting Israel as the scapegoat for the region's ills.
In their bid to open direct diplomatic ties with Iran,
Obama and his advisers are also blaming Israel for Iran's nuclear program.
They are doing this both indirectly and directly.

Funny how Rahm Emmanuel is the front man in the effort to leave Israel desolate. And the American Jews, more in love with the religion of liberalism are all too happy to see their native land laid bare before her enemeies. Shame on them!

This is what I think will happen soon:

Israel will soon launch an airstrike against Iran. Because Zero will not allow their planes to overfly and refuel over Iraq, they are now obtaining permission working through Egypt to overfly Saudi Arabia. At the same time, India will attack Pakistan and get the nukes. Zero will be like a deer in the headlights if thei happens.

It’s too bad. One good thing that may come out of this, is potentially the permanent dropping of the scales from Florida’s Jewish population, who listend to Silverman’s “Great Schlep”. If Obama were Muslim, how would his behavior be any different?

For the longest time I have seen with disgust Jews align themselves with those who would destroy them. If they don’t want to care, I sure don’t. Now Obama doesn’t need AIPAC’s money, or anybody’s money for that matter. The “stimulus package” gave $3 BILLION to Acorn! What donor base can match that? With the media’s help, he might have put together a permanent majority.

Strange, I keep having this recurring thought that the Ascended One would actually order American fighters to take on the Israeli’s if they attempted to overfly Iraq on the way to or from Iran. Bizarro.

Using the annual AIPAC conference as a backdrop, this week the Obama administration launched its harshest onslaught against Israel to date. It began with media reports that National Security Adviser James Jones told a European foreign minister that the US is planning to build an anti-Israel coalition with the Arabs and Europe to compel Israel to surrender Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem to the Palestinians.”

Moreover, this week we learned that the administration is trying to get the Arabs themselves to write the Quartet’s new plan. The London-based Al-Quds al-Arabi pan-Arab newspaper reported Tuesday that acting on behalf of Obama, Jordanian King Abdullah urged the Arab League to update the so-called Arab peace plan from 2002. That plan, which calls for Israel to withdraw from Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights and accept millions of foreign Arabs as citizens as part of the so-called “right of return” in exchange for “natural” relations with the Arab world, has been rejected by successive Israeli governments as a diplomatic subterfuge whose goal is Israel’s destruction.”

FOR ISRAEL, the main event of the week was supposed to be President Shimon Peres’s meeting with Obama on Tuesday. Peres was tasked with calming the waters ahead of Netanyahu’s visit. It was hoped that he could introduce a more collegial tone to US-Israel relations.

What Israel didn’t count on was the humiliating reception Peres received from Obama. By barring all media from covering the event, Obama transformed what was supposed to be a friendly visit with a respected and friendly head of state into a back-door encounter with an unwanted guest, who was shooed in and shooed out of the White House without a sound.”

******

Glick is one of the most reliable voices out there reporting on Israeli issues. She goes on to state how this administration is indirectly blaming Israel for their (0bama’s) inability to get Iran to cease their nuke program.

It’s back to the old failed quartet, but it sounds as if 0bama is going to be much more forceful in attempting to ram this plan for national suicide down Israel’s throat.

...The anti-war crowd will become libertarians, or they will agree because it will make Obama look worse...

I suspect the Israelis will use some submarine based missiles and Jericho ballistic missiles if the shi’ite hits the fan..

A satisfactory endgame ~ The Final Solution.

Now that our muslim half wit Poser In Chief has "conquered" the US, he will attempt to finish the work of the Third Riech. It will be fast, but not merciful, and will ignite a nuclear holocaust.

Once he starts this, he wouldn't be able to stop it if he tried.

Yes it is. When I expressed concerns about all the anti-Israel people surrounding Obama from the beginning, I was told by some on FR that Rahm, with his Israeli roots, would be the one to keep him "in check". Apparently they were wrong, and it is just as I suspected.

Bibi is no doubt looking for new allies. And he's probably using all the US technology Israel has to tantalize them.

Given the evil men running our country right now, I can't really blame him.

And again, this tells us two things: Israel's relations with the US during Obama's tenure in office will be unpleasant and difficult, and the damage that Israel will cause to that relationship by preventing Iran from acquiring the means to destroy it will be negligible.

PRETTY CLEAR CUT.

Obama is going to pull a Bay of Pigs on Israel. He will give them the “green light” to take action against Iran, but withhold any real support. That way he wins no matter what the outcome.

If Israel is successful, Obama can tell the Muslim world that Israel did it on their own and he has one less belligerent nuclear country to deal with.

If Israel fails, then Israel will be pressured to accept the two state solution and Obama will be hailed as the president who brought “peace” to the middle east.

Either way, the Messiah can spin it to his advantage.

The dirty little secret about Middle East peace is that as long as Israel has ANY capability to defend itself, it will not have “peace” with it's neighbors. Of course, as soon as Israel loses the ability or will to defend itself, the same neighbors will destroy Israel.

Just remember, Islam means BOTH peace AND submission. In the Muslim world you can't have one without the other.

I did not know that.

One of the reasons I respect the Jewish folk so much is their ability to use the resources available to accomplish the goal.

The only democracy in the Middle East and the only true friend we have and Obama wants to sow the seeds of its destruction. I just hope the American people wake up see what an idiotic incompetent sycophant we have in the White House.
