U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the U.S. with an Israeli military operation against Iran. The message was conveyed by a senior American official who met in Israel with Netanyahu, ministers and other senior officials. Earlier, Netanyahu's envoy visited Washington and met with National Security Adviser James Jones and with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and discussed the dialogue Obama has initiated with Tehran.

LOL!

Obammy and his teleprompter will be very upset...

[Truth29]

Obama should find out by reading CNN like the rest of the world except Iran where they, hopefully, will no longer have the capability to watch TV or much of anything else. Obama would warn Iran or actively sabotage any Israeli strike if e could. He will make Iran the preeminent power in that part of the world, if he is allowed to proceed on his present course.

Ummm, think the United Nations tried that tactic long ago and it didn't stop them then.

I think that Israel should give Obambi the standard warning:

“The bombing starts in 5 minutes”.

He’s already taken sovereignty away from the states, started running private businesses so why would he imagine another nation has any sovereignty?

Hey,Mr Prime Minister...pay no attention to Hussein.He’s just a spineless,limp-wristed Maoist “community organizer”.

You are being bullied, Netanyahu.

Surprise.

LOL!... what an OAF!... by warning Ben like this, he literally guaranteed that it will now be a surprise!

If the prime minister had ANY intention of giving us the heads up before striking, he certainly doesn’t have it anymore.

Netanyahu to Obamachev: F*** off!

[popdonnelly]

This is the Obama Administration, and therefore we are no longer Israel’s ally. So why should they listen to us?

Oh? Is Caligula trying to rule Israel, too? If I were Netanyahu, I would be tempted to do it just because.

To Barack Obama, George Washington is just some old, white guy. Obama's version of American history begins in 1964. Everything else is irrelevant.

Bibi should tell him in English and Austrian, too, of course.

And he should do so in all 57 states.

[keats5]

So did Bibi assure Obama that he would hold off?

I didn’t think so.

“Obama is perfectly capable of alerting the Mullahs.” No doubt... but something else is going on here... It is very possible that someone in Bibi's government has just blown his cover,i.e., the “mole” has been compromised by Obama and arrogance.
