U.S. has no right to block Israel on Iran: Netanyahu
Reuters ^ | 9/11/2012 | Jeffrey Heller

Posted on 09/11/2012 9:12:17 AM PDT by mojito

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said the United States had forfeited its moral right to stop Israel taking action against Iran's nuclear program because it had refused to be firm with Tehran itself.

In comments which appeared to bring the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran closer, Netanyahu took the Obama administration to task after Washington rebuffed his own call to set a red line for Tehran's nuclear drive.

"The world tells Israel 'wait, there's still time'. And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?'" said Netanyahu, speaking in English.

Wait until it's convenient for Barry the crypto-Muslim.

Which means a very very long time.

Does anyone have any doubt anymore that Barry wants to give Iran time to produce a weapon? That he thinks a nuclear Iran is a good idea because it will strike a blow against the "Zionist entity" which he despises?

The only thing better to drive the point would have been to speak "Wait for what? Wait until when?" in Kenyan.

I’m calling BS, Hillary is no doubt hoping that Bibi fires off some attack, first it cripples the Obama re-election campaign and secondly she and others like her in the D coalition will have something to hold over their jewish cohorts. Hillary wants war.

Apparently Netanyahu is not optimistic that 0bama will “be more flexible” related to Isreael in his second term.

I really hope Israel does wait until AFTER our election to pull the trigger. First, because they’d not get 100% commitment from our Muslim president and secondly, I’d hate to see 0bama get a ‘wartime president’ bounce.. A war should hurt 0bama’s reputation but the media will spin it to make him look like Winston Churchill.

But if we give them billions of dollars we do get some say on what they do...

Wait, the phone is ringing.

Israel would like to wait until late January unless they are convinced that Iran is about the cross that red line.

This implies we are doing something to physically stop Israel from taking action. Is this really true? Or is "stopping them" effectively refusing to aid them?

There is a difference, particularly because of the Russian warning that an attack on Iran would bring "unimaginable" consequences.

“Ben, Wait until after the elections. Then we can work together to write a “stronly worded letter”. After that, we can get together and talk about potentially considering a deadline for considering some alternate, more potentially meaningful, course of diplomatic action that includes a vague nuanced implication of potential military action.”

-Barack Obama.

Israel should just go ahead and let us know how it comes out. I don’t want any American involvement if they choose to attack 78 million people in a sovereign country. I will tell you this. WE ARE BROKE!! I say if Iran ever fires a nuke at our border ,when Russia didn’t do so, I would be very surprised. But remember this about the “doctrine of preemption” ,which is a gross violation of international law, tt works against Israel too. With all the breast beating, they just might get preempted first.

What a load of crap. This isn't your average “sovereign country”. This is a country that has the destruction of Israel as their stated goal. And “international law” is BS too. There's no such thing. Nations do (and should) act in their own best interest. Better for Iran to get leveled than Israel.

Then don’t let it. If Israel needs to protect itself why would you care what the US does?

You do not have to put down American to support your position.
