The Obama administration is sending the head of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey to Israel this Thursday to try to change what it sees as Israel’s increasing readiness to attack Iran.
Both Israel and the United States have stated they would not rule out a military strike on Tehran to prevent the Islamic Republic from reaching the capability of attacking Israel, or elsewhere, with a nuclear weapon. However, American officials are worried that Israel is closer to concluding that the “point of no return” is at hand, after which it may be too late to stop Iran.
With 15,000 soldiers, diplomats and contractors in Iraq, Iran’s neighbor, Washington is worried that an Israeli strike would place them in danger, The Wall Street Journal reported. Israel is concerned that Iranian nuclear capability would give it leverage to achieve its dream of dominating the Muslim world and “wiping Israel off the map” in the words of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Dempsey will meet his counterpart in Israel, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, as well as Defense Minister Ehud Barak and possibly Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. President Barack Obama telephoned the Prime Minister last Thursday and expressed his “unshakeable” commitment to Israel’s security, but the White House declined to describe the content of the conversation.

In other words, they won't rule out attacking Iran, they just don't want Israel being ready to do it.
So, are you calmed?
buy time
buy time
Iran’s about to get plastered. And so is NORK. Can’t have “peace” without these things occuring.

This is called leverage. Allows America to follow up on Israel’s attack to defend our troops. Allows America an out, Israel, not so much.
If Israel attacks Iran, obummer will not have a war to get his sorry ass re-elected. That is what this all about, obummer trying to get his October general hat on . Wag the dog.
Iran. The perfect patsy, right out of central casting.
Ubama's campaign strategy for the election eleven months from now is to send America into a fresh new war. See, Americans are very reluctant to dump a somber and serious "war time President", don't you know...
I’m already sorry.
Yeah, that'll work.
I owe a month’s rent and will soon owe two. My mother-in-law is coming to live with us. It’s freezing at night, and we have just one space heater. Who’s not calm? Maybe we were trying to light a fire under the US by acting ornery?
LOLROFLMAO
I hope things look up for you. And in case it isn’t obvious, I support Israel in any action she wants to take against Iran.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, dispatched by Chief of Joints.
This is the 3AM phone call and Obama is asleep at the switch.
I'm with you.
