US Official: Nuclear Bomb Is Our Red Line

US President Barack Obama rejected an appeal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to define a specific “red line” that Iran could not cross in its nuclear program, The New York Times reported Friday, citing an unnamed senior administration official.

According to the report, in an hour-long conversation on Tuesday Obama deflected Netanyahu’s proposal to make the size of Iran’s stockpile of close-to-bomb-grade uranium the threshold, that, if passed, would trigger a US military strike on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities.

While Obama reiterated the assurance that the US won't allow Iran to manufacture a atomic bomb, he was unwilling to agree on any specific action by the Islamic Republic – like reaching a defined threshold on nuclear material, or failing to adhere to a deadline on negotiations – that would lead to military action by the US.

Possession of the weapon makes the redline irrelevant.

[TigerClaws]

Exactly. Too late!

[Da Coyote]

The ObamaLenin administration is itself a RED line.

May they all roast in h....er...Mecca.

[Viennacon]

So you’ll stop their development of a nuclear weapon... when they have a nuclear weapon. This is HORRIFIC!

[LibLieSlayer]

This guy is so far in over his head and the leftard professors that he has stuffed his administration with cannot find the solutions in any text books or in the communist manifesto. We are ****ed because they are incompetent and dangerous.

I honesty think these Islamo-crazies have not yet quite figured out that the guy who replaced Bush is nothing like Bush when it comes to attacks on the U.S. When they figure out they’ve got another washy-washy, indecisive, hand-wringing Bill Clinton on their hands, watch out for more 9/11 stuff.

obama wants Israel destroyed as bad as nutjob. I started to say “as bad as satan” but that would be redundant.

Oh sweet Jesus....go back to fundraising, you dolt.

Kind of like their position on abortion. It’s not a baby/bomb until it is born. Except that in the case of an Iranian nuclear bomb, they don’t want to abort it. So think about that. They don’t mind murdering millions of babies through abortion and they don’t mind allowing Iran to have a weapon that will enable them to kill millions of Israelis.

Can there be a clearer picture of the spirit of antichrist?

Matters not. Hussain will probably arm Iran with nuclear weapons should the need arise in his perception.

[Walkingfeather]

“Obama reiterated the assurance that the US won’t allow Iran to manufacture a atomic bomb, “

correct, because they are making nuclear bombs....

That nuke will never be found in Iran. It will go quickly to New York Harbor where it will be detonated. And when that happens it will be over for America.

Remember, the on-ramp to 911 started with coordinated terror attacks on two US Embassies.

[Right Wing Assault]

Yes, when they explode a nuclear bomb in Israel, then they will have crossed the line. Then we will be very upset. /s

I think some of you have this wrong. We know Obama and his cronies have it in for Syria and Iran (funny how they are the only two major Shiite-led powers and Obama seems cozy with the Sunnis...)

Obama doesn't want to commit to a specific circumstance, because he wants a free hand to attack Iran. It's going to happen, if not this term, then his second term. Committing to some kind of red line ties his hands.

Syria, one of the only two major Shiite-led countries is all but paralyzed with a civil war. While Iraq has a lot of Shiites, two of the top three positions are Sunni.

That leaves Iran as the only major Shiite-led power left in the region. You know Obama would love to knock off the government of Iran or at least weaken Iran significantly. Iran has done a lot to try and keep Shiites in power in Iraq and to try and keep the Syrian government propped up, but it's only a matter of time until Iran stands alone.

I think if Iran dropped a nuke on NYC, Obama would reassure us that they weren’t really attacking the United States.
