It's an annoucement that hasn't been announced.

Interesting.

I would not be surprised, though. I figured Obama would wait a little longer and blame the cancellation on expanding Israeli settlements or some other convenient excuse.

Look folks, why bad mouth Obama with cursing, foul language, gutter talk, etc. Just tell it like it is!!! Obama is in bed with Iran!!! Obama has handed over Iraq to Iran, Afghanistan to Pakistan, Egypt to the Muslim Brotherhood, Libya to the Muslim Brotherhood, kept Syria alive and well for Iran, surrended just about the entire Middle East and North Africa to Muslim terrorists, left Israel to stand alone!!!

And.....Obama has voided all progress in those troubled, hate America areas and he has laughed at the sacrifices made by our magnificent troops. I weep and pray for all of our troops and, at the thoughts of the families of those brave soldiers who died, were wounded, disabled, injured and harmed mentally while in action defending our country, freedom and liberty. Obama has planned this all along. We should not be cursing Obama, we should remove him from office by defeating his re-election in November, 2012. Americans, actions speak louder then words. He is just simply not one of us, an American I mean. He never was an American and....never will be one!!! Sad!!! We should not be cursing, we should be crying!!!!

Didn’t I see an earlier posting that Russia has announced that an attack on Iran will be considered as an attack on Moscow?

Good move to cancel. Hysteria and panic from the West is the Iranian regime's best friend. Nothing like foreign rhetoric and noise to help a tyrant to rally the locals against the external threat. The best policy here is to speak softly and carry a big stick, though I distrust President Obama’s aptitude for combining a reasonable moderate policy with an underlying credible threat of action if an adversary goes too far.

The Iranian’s seemed to have played the last few months very well. Anticipating the massive US Israel exercise, which of course they don’t want, they rattled enough to get Putin to scare all the diplomats and now the gutless teleprompter is having second thoughts. In the end, I think this development just makes the world a more dangerous place.

But then maybe a politician with power over our military forces does have an ethnic or other foreign attachment.
