Hear O Israel...you’re on your own.
You always were and always will be.
At least now, it’s out in the open.
So start acting like you’re on your own.
Don’t worry about taking out Iran’s reactors.
Take out Iran’s leaders.

Hardly a surprise. I'm sure Obama has the teleprompter already loaded with a speech saying how disappointed he is with Iran now that they has detonated a nuke and how he will be calling on the UN to do something. There probably is another almost identical speech ready to be read when the US is attacked with a nuke by Islamic terrorists.

It’s not only off the table, it is out the door and down the street, with the current regime headed by a Muslim Marxist in the Oval Office.

Imagine a world with Iran having nuclear tipped ICBMs.

It’s easy if you try.

In 50 years with nuclear contaminated drinking water, uninhabited cities and toxic air, some of our surviving descendants when not scavenging for food, will wonder why no one had the b__s to stop Iran while we had the chance.

The US has ruled out a military strike against Iran's nuclear program ...

Nice of Obama to comfort the Iranians. Iranians can sleep better now - knowing they won't be attacked.

This pronouncement makes it easier for their scientists to work harder and better at the means necessary to kill millions of Americans - when they're ready...

These guys have even less negotiating skills than the guys I used to trade marbles with when I was in 2nd grade. One would surmise that they haven’t played much poker either.

-OR-

They are doing all of this on purpose, which is what I actually think is going on. No one can be this dumb.

“...”Military force is an option of last resort,”...”

I am a strong supporter of Israel. Nevertheless, the statement quoted above does not support your title.

No need for concern. Obama has it well in hand. He hasn't ruled out the use of bold type fonts and underlining in a strongly-worded letter. If that doesn't work, he may opt for an exclamation point but UPPERCASE is off the table.

"Military force is an option of last resort," Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy said during a press briefing in Singapore. "It's off the table in the near term."

You all need to remember who exactly "Michèle Flournoy" is.

If her job was based on merit, and not politics, this woman would not have come within 1,000 of the Pentagon. When she lost her "journalist" paycheck, she was given a top Pentagon post because of her connections to Hillary Rodham-Clinton and several Obama admin employees. She called her top defense post: "My personal government bailout.”

She is a long time Democrat leftist/Marxist, and an Obama political hack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mich%C3%A8le_Flournoy

Many of us saw this disaster coming when she was "appointed" to the DoD.

From last April:

Another left-wing journalist bailed out by Obama

____________________________________________________________________________

By Michelle Malkin • April 21, 2009 09:16 AM I can’t even keep count anymore, can you? Meet the newest left-wing journalist rescued from the ailing newspaper industry by the Obama administration: former LA Times columnist Rosa Brooks. She’s the daughter of liberal writer Barbara Ehrenreich and an acolyte of George Soros. And she’s working in the…Pentagon. Not a joke. Nile Gardiner gives you the rundown: In what has to be one of the most extreme appointments yet by the Obama Administration, ex-Los Angeles Times columnist and Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks has just been made an adviser to Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michelle Fluornoy – a move Brooks describes as “my personal government bailout.” Bailout is certainly the right word for someone who appears to have no relevant national security qualifications for the position. She does though have experience working as Special Counsel for George Soros’s Open Society Institute in New York, and as a former adviser to Harold Koh, the hugely controversial nominee for Legal Adviser to the State Department. Brooks’ new boss Fluornoy holds one of the most powerful posts in the Pentagon, and is already playing a key role in shaping the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan as well as the wider war against al-Qaeda. She will also be a central figure in shaping U.S.-UK defence cooperation and Washington’s policy towards NATO. As an adviser to Fluornoy, Brooks will wield an extraordinary degree of influence in helping shape U.S. policy. Her extreme views should therefore be closely scrutinized. Brooks’ description of the previous occupant of the White House as “our torturer in chief” is hard to square with President Obama’s call for bipartisanship. Nor is her ludicrous comparison of the Bush Administration’s legal arguments on the war on terror with Adolf Hitler’s use of political propaganda. She has also accused civilian White House and Pentagon officials from the last administration of being “eager to embrace the values normally exemplified by military juntas,” while urging “military personnel to speak out, regardless of the cost, when they think our civilian leaders have gone beyond the pale” – little more than an open-ended call for the politicization of the armed forces. Rowan Scarborough at Human Events has more: Some in the Pentagon, normally a conservative and patriotic enclave, are reacting with alarm at Brooks’ appointment. One Gates staffer told Human Events that Brooks is an “extremist.” The source emphasized she was Flournoy’s appointment, not Gates’. “Gates did not hire her,” the official said. “Any time you have people with extreme views on the right or left it makes people nervous here,” said a senior official. In response to a query from Human Events, the Defense Department provided Brooks’ job description. She is a “principal adviser” to Flournoy to “develop cross regional planning.” In other words, Brooks will help shape the Pentagon’s relations with foreign governments and militaries. Later, the department amended her job description. “Ms. Brooks was hired as a Special Advisor to the USDP to address a range of issues of interest to the Undersecretary, including speechwriting and special projects,” the statement said.

_______________________________________________________________________

What we basically have is an Obama nut case running amok in the Pentagon. Now, that is not to say that she does not speak for the nut cases that she is beholden to. It basically means that we have a wack job in a dangerous position of power who has no right to be there.

Now, she is out there giving the green light to Iran (in radical public statements).

Gates should fire her, but he cannot/will not because of her political connections.
