Suppose Israel attacks before the election. The US doesn’t support them.
Does that October surprise help Zero or Romney?
Leading from behind. The ‘Coward in Chief’ strikes again.
Lets be clear here.
Obama- not America- will not back Israel.
The American people and the American military would.
Or else, what?
Hurts.
All the people who would be gratified by a hands off policy towards Iran will vote for Obama anyway. If it looks like Obama is winning, Israel will attack to try to influence the election. If Obama is losing, they will wait for Romney. With U.S. assistance dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons will be orders of magnitude easier.
We are not going to get involved in nation building or try to make friends in Iran. We will grind their economic and military assets into dust and let them pick up the pieces, unlike in Iraq and Afghanistan. Big mistake in the former two countries.
One of the steps considered is “an official declaration by Obama about what might bring about American military action, as well as covert activities that have been previously considered and rejected,” the report said.............................. Uhhhh? Covert? like letting them know in advance? Lets face it folks, the area is too important to mess up. We must consider the $$$$$ factor here. Most nations are at the point of bankruptcy, can we afford any involvement? We’re between a rock and a hard place here. Here is where Leadership is really needed. Obama, you better go to the opinion polls or maybe ask your wife what to do. (Like Clinton would, according to Hillary. Oh wait she works for you now?) LOL, the Mullahs must be laughing their butts off.
Subtext: “Pretty please do not retaliate against US forces in the Gulf area WHEN Israel attacks you, Iran. We won't be coming in after them with follow-up strikes against you, so can you please direct all of your retaliatory missile strikes on Tel Aviv? Thank you very much!”
Certainly doesn't help him maintain 80% of the Jewish vote.

Look, not only is this the correct thing to do but it is... in my opinion as Attorney General that it is the legal thing to do--
And when Obama has flexibility after the election... I'll get my one million dollars--
I cannot recall when the cockles of my heart... were ever this warm.
You know, watching the Democrat Convention makes me warm--
But it ain't... the cockles of my heart!
Eye God, Bender... them traitorous sons-a-bitches are serious!
Yeah, they are, Gus... they surely are--
Yes, even I, Shirley... agrees here--
The incentive for Iran to refrain from attacking our interests should be fear of OUR retaliation, not allowing Israel to do what they need to do.
Waiting until after the election does them no good. If Obama wins, they are cooked and should have gone in beforehand. If Romney wins, Obama will still be in power until January, perhaps too long to wait.
If Israel wages a "soft", "targeted" war using cyber weapons, non nuclear EMPs, commando raids, and cruise missle attacks they might be able to get away with it. Obama will be in trouble with the Jewish vote. If it goes badly for Israel and Obama does nothing, I don't believe that America wants to see Israel destroyed.
It’s terrifying to know they were stupid enough to elect him the first time.
If a person has a IQ above room temperature, it would be impossible for them to back this guy.
Dear Leader, how has that been working for the USA? Iran is a state that is sponsoring terrorism around the world. There are embassy bombings, there are attacks on troops that Iranian operatives have been organizing and leading for over a decade. Many of the IED’s killing our soldiers in the Middle East are from Iran.
In short we are at war with Iran and have been for a long time. It is not a publicly declared war, but it still is war. They are not going to stop attacking our interests in the Middle East, Africa, South/Central America. So our backing or not backing Israel will have nothing to do with preventing future attacks.
Dear Leader, you are either very dumb, or you think that the public is so stupid they will accept what you say as truth. How sad.
