ATTACKING IRAN--SURE, TELL HIM--THE NEXT DAY
The article is pretty short, but if you click the link, there’s an associated 16 minute video interview of Rumsfeld.
Given that the US military will be picking up the pieces and paying in blood and treasure for any attack, I think they damn well should inform us.
Israel might not have any choice. Depending on the various agreements between the two countries, Israel might have to tell us when they are going to attack another country. That is what happens when you take our welfare money. What Israel should do is stop taking our aid so they can be independent and do what they want. STOP TAKING OUR AID ISRAEL AND YOU WILL BE BETTER OFF!!!
We give Israel over $3 billion a year in military aid.
They better inform us about what they are going to do.
Actually, I think Israel would be well advised to let the US administration *think* they were just about to attack Iran, to see what Oboloney would do.
Definitely keep an eye out to see if someone in the administration would send a message to Iran or other nations; or if Obama would try to use the US military to interfere with the attack.
Almost anything he did, or didn’t do, would be extremely vital to know, strategically. And after a few hours they could call Obama back to say they had to postpone the attack for [insert b.s. reason here].
The Israeli government would be wise to listen. Any heads up given to the current U.S. administration would be instantly forwarded to the iranians.
obama and co. would happily betray Israel to the muslim horde.
What the Islamic world doesn't seem to realize is that the US hasn't been a "Christian" nation for at least the last 100+ years or more. But since we aren't (yet) an Islamic nation we are still their enemy.
Israel is under no obligation to tell this administration a thing.
If an administration were in office that did not despise Israel then they would have such an obligation.
Our government could stand a dismantling and rebuilding, with particular attention to the executive branch and the State Dept. Too bad the right man for the job (Newt) isn’t running :-( We will have to make do with the one that is.
Israel should test our ability to detect preparations for an imminent attack on Iran. Our surveillance tech is awesome, and controlled now by those hostile to Israel’s security. I would not be surprised if we are tracking the Israeli subs to watch for attack preparations. The NRO recon sats are probably wasting more time watching Israel than watching our enemies...what a sad state of affairs.
In January, we will not have a Defense Dept.
Or, alternatively, why not just issue a press release. It's all the same these days.
If Israel were to tell the Obamadork object about a planned attack, the dork would get on the black ImamPhone (tm) and immediately warn the slimy sleezy, lying brother muzzies.
D*n right, they should tell the head “thing.”
Anything.
I saw the interview live and am in full agreement with Rumsfeld.
This is absolutely STUNNING and unprecedented from a former SecDef. Expect the “treason” calls from the Left. But the reality is that it demonstrates how this Admin. no longer stands for American values or interests.
Absolutely they should not! obamma and his administration cannot be trusted!
Rumsfeld, go away! Shut the H up.
Thank you.
Israel is walking the razor’s edge. If they piss off zer0bama and he wins re-election, they are hosed. If zer0bama loses re-election, they are sittin’ pretty, maybe.
I think it is likely they won’t move until November 8th unless the polls show an obvious zer0bama defeat.
Israel Hayom is a free newspaper started and funded by Sheldon Adelson.
He did it to keep the Israeli public informed and free from the leftist infestation of the Israeli media. They have the same problem as we do.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Israel will likely bomb Iran in Sept./Oct., before the election. They will not tell Hussein it’s going to happen. That’s as good as telling Iran.
Our military plans took off from an air base in Greece when we attacked Afghanistan. I know this is true as my son was in a hotel there where American pilots were staying as the air base housing was full. My son was still there until after we attacked Afghanistan.
I read some time ago, Israel and Greece have an understanding that Israeli planes can land at that air base. With Greece in need for money, I expect Israel will pay for using that air base. I could be completely wrong but I doubt it.
