Obama on Iran: 'I don't bluff'
LA Times ^ | 3/2/2012 | Christi Parson

Posted on 03/02/2012 6:51:12 AM PST by LomanBill

President Obama's goal in upcoming talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to persuade him that the United States "has Israel's back" so that Israel has no need to rush toward air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, the president said in a newly published interview.

In a meeting at the White House on Monday, the president told journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, he will try to persuade the Israeli leader that an attack now would backfire at a time when Iran is under increasing international pressure.

In an interview granted earlier this week and posted on the Atlantic magazine's website Friday morning, Goldberg reported that Obama is dismissive of a strategy of containment as unworkable and called it "unacceptable" for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

” obozo talking tough, then I remember seeing how he throws a baseball. Calling him a WIMP is too masculine of a term for this dirt bag liar. “

Don’t forget the wrestling exhibition on the WH lawn.

Berry doesn’t want Israel to do anything before the elections in November. He doesn’t care about anything else.

I hope Zero doesn’t think for a minute anyone finds encouragement in his assurance of ‘having your back’. Anyone foolish enough turn their back on this traitorous bastard deserves what they get.

Grovels, indeed. And bows. Dithers. Evades. Avoids. Blames. Whines. Wimps. But of course, no bluffing.

Takes courage to bluff.

Since when has there been ANYONE who has been proven to be “ - - - highly intelligent Harvard educated - - - “ in the political activities of the USA?

Think about it, take your time, and I’ll check back for your answer after supper tonight. If you need more time, I’ll understand.

Israel ought to give Obama false, but convincing attack plans and dates and wait to see how long it will be before Iran reacts. Obama will stand with the Muslims in the coming war.

The United States.

Harmless as an enemy, treacherous as a friend.

He's right; he does not bluff.

He waffles, cowers, and begs for forgiveness.

Then he goes home to take it out on whoever he wants to blame.

Doh-bama doesn’t bluff...he first capitulates, then bows, then kisses their a$$ at every opportunity. When no opportunity exists, he expends great effort to create one....”Let no crisis go to waste”.

Little faggots with big power are dangerous. Always trying to compensate. This one is no exception.

ZBig propped up the straw Ayatollahs 34 years ago, and now his boy in the White Hut has been given a pack of matches to play with just as the global economic toilet filled with petro-a$$paper reaches flushing velocity.

A new war with Iran would assure Obama’s re-election. This is what this is all about.

This is how fascism works...unify the unwashed masses with an enemy from without.

Obama makes me sick.

I pray for our soldiers who now must become an arm of the Obama campaign to destroy America and build his fascist Utopia, starting with his re-election.

LomanBill said it very poetically.

Seems that the entire world is about to go up in flames. The rot is everywhere. It’s not even just 0bastard and the financial globalist robbers.

Anyone who verbally declares “I DON’T BLUFF”, is a BULL$HIT ARTIST.
