Why would anyone not want those nuclear facilities bombed?

Hopefully, Bibi will tell him to shove it where then sun don’t shine.

in the same way that Israel hit Saddam Hussein's Osirak reactor in 1981 ... and the Syrian reactor in September of 2007. I'll miss Israel leading the efforts to protect the western world if the socialist thug in our White House manages to intimidate them into doing nothing in the face of a threat to the lives of every man, woman, and child in Israel.

“Yeah...so then Obama can warn Iran.”
Sadly, I did not think of that - and I wouldn’t put it past him, either. *Sigh*

I actually think the Obama administration is the only one in modern times to be able to out ‘Peter Principle’ the Clinton administration.
Never have so few owed so much to so many for their success.

We probably got a gazillion spies in Iran.
Leon should give them the word to evacuate now ~ don't wait ~ just go.
Last thing the Israeli government is going to do is let Obama know ahead of time that they are going to nuke his buddies.

He sought assurances from Mr Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, the Defence Minister, that their hawkish new Government would not attack Iran without alerting Washington. Not your fault but another misleading title.

My impression is that Obama turning his back on Israel is a hands-off way for him to force a dangerous battle.
He seems to like to see his “people” (comediens, pundits, thugs, “neighbors”..) do his dirty work. His hands are clean...He stays in charge of parties and hopey-changy speeches.
I think his “handlers” would kind of enjoy a the chaos world crisis and the resultant “benevolent” establishment of a New World Order, complete with unionized hickory-convincing-stick weilding Acorns....
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I hope Prime Minister Netanyahu tells Mr. Panetta to mind his own business.
Israel's very survival is on the line, and what must be done must be done.
The U.S. has frittered years away, and now we are left with the desperate option of Israel striking on its own.

I agree with your comments but also believe Obama lacks a even a basic understanding of the mid-east and the strategic importance of our relationship with the only democracy in the region.

Obama, his first calls, his bows, his upcoming presentation in June...Could he be more overt in providing credence and support to Jihad in the “Arab Street”?
He does seem to have contempt for democratized allies -Israel, UK...
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Maybe we can have a remake of Dr. Strangelove...with ol’ Leon riding the bomb down as if it’s a bull at a rodeo!
