US acts to hold Israel back from striking Iran. Their intel agencies at odds

The bombing attack in Tehran which killed Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan last Wednesday, Jan. 11, generated an angry phone call from US President Barack Obama to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the next day, DEBKAfile's Washington and intelligence sources report. Washington is increasingly concerned, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, that Israel is preparing to strike Iran's nuclear sites over US objections and has bolstered the defenses of US facilities in the region in case of a conflict. Obama, Defense and Secretary Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been sending private messages to their Israel contacts warning them about the dire consequences of a strike, the paper reports.

If memory serves, “Bath-House Barry” visited Israel, went to the wall and stuck a written prayer in the crack.
It supposedly asked for Allah’s....oops...I mean, God’s help in terrorizing...oops, I mean leading America.

Let's see... when will O'Bummer turn and betray Israel?

Oh, I dunno, probably about 24 hours after Mitt Romney gives his concession speech.

Just leave it to Mossad.
They know exactly what needs to be done and they will do it with or without the blessing of the USA.

Gee...who would you choose? Committed Communist Leon Panetta's CIA, or relentless warriors against Islamofascists: The Mossad?

Iran is a paper tiger, completely weak. Left to their own devices its regime will blow away, much like the USSR.

Here’s a thought experiment to consider:

You’re USCENTCOM and the phone rings. It’s Barry. “General, the DCI just called. He says that the Israeli Air Force is launching an air strike against Iran tomorrow. As Commander-in-Chief, I order you to use every means at your disposal to stop that strike.” And then he hangs up before you can reply.

What do you do?

I talked with several Israeli Jews. Israeli Jewish support for Obama is at 2%. I wish I could translate from the Hebrew what they think of our president.

Now we all can see why he sent 10,000 troops into Israel. It was a Trojan horse......He is doing everything he can to keep Israel from protecting and defending itself.

You are leaving out one little detail that is now public knowledge: The USS Liberty was actively transmitting information about Israel’s military positions and weaponry to Israel’s enemies during a time of war. This current event is not the first time the US has betrayed Israel. Sadly, under this administration, it probably won’t be the last.

If not Israel, then some nation needs to step up and beat the dog out of Iran.

“If not Israel, then some nation needs to step up and beat the dog out of Iran.”

The only consolation is that from a higher perspective, what is unfolding appears to be exactly what is supposed to happen.

Irans a paper tiger? I’m sure the hundreds of thousands Irans killed over the past 3 decades will feel better knowing they were killed by a paper tiger.
