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.

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

He only wants more flexibility when it comes to our enemies. Our long standing allies and friends he couldn't care less about (ie., insultingly returning the Churchhill bust).

The most infamous example, from a few months ago, was the disclosure that Israeli aircraft were secretly deployed in Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan is an Islamic country. Do you, in all honesty, truly believe that nobody in Azerbaijan notified the Iranians of Israel's military assets there? Really?

I think that because of the distances involved, Israel has to presume that Iran is well aware of gross movements of equipment and personnel. The only things they really cannot know is the time and the plan of attack.

If they are sending press releases, the attack is not even close.

Stop being played by the media. IF Israel decides to attack, the first thing you will hear about it will be a smoking hole in the desert.

The Israelis had the cooperation of the Azerbaijani government.

Azerbaijan is no friend of Iran.

The Zero administration leaked the information.

Whether you care to believe it, those are the facts.

If Israel hits Iran, Hizbollah will hit the USA.

I've met plenty of American Jews who are anti-Israel. I'm serious.

One woman, a recent law school graduate claimed that America was the biblical promised land, not ‘ some location in the Middle East ‘.

And in the U.S., Netanyahu would go down in history as the ‘instigator’ or the bad guy, but.. Israel won’t survive an Iran with nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad has said as much.

Do what you have to do, Bibi. Don’t pay any attention to the mindless babble that emanates from America’s rulers. They’re not your friends; they’d rather see you destroyed in order to gain momentary favor from your other enemies.

If American Jews vote for Bozo again they are idiots!

American Jews, on the whole, don't give two sh*ts about Israel. They care about keeping democrats in power.

If Netanyahu knew Romney was getting elected he might be able to wait. But if Obama is re-elected, Israel’s toast - and they’ve lost their biggest advantage. Netanyahu’s the only person who can make the call - our prayers are with him...

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

Do you have a link... thanks.

The Israeli motto is: “Never again.” Their country is threatened with Iranian destruction and they will attack Iran to keep that motto true. Screw Hussein.

He needs to apply some pressure now.

I can't find now the one I was looking at ten minutes ago...

Here's another. "We hope that such an apocalyptic scenario will not be realised."

In other words, under the “leadership” of Obama, we have become irrelevant to one of our past closest allies.
