US Official: Nuclear Bomb Is Our Red Line
YNet ^ | 14 Sept 2012 | YNet

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.

Obama is working to transfer power away from America. It’s part of his anti-colonial stick. Romney will have to purge the Intelligence, Military and State Departments to keep this policy from continuing. It’s like a hydra of bad ideas.

Projection is a funny thing, especially when it becomes a self portrait of yourself.

But nully, 0bama wrote about nuclear disarmament in ‘college.’ He also wants to cut our defenses to 300 warheads OR LESS....even down to zero. Unilaterally.

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

Then apologize.

Just when you think he couldn't possible say anything stupider, he outdoes himself.

Red Line ? Who writes this garbage ?

Ummmm...perhaps read the very first line of the article:

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.

Basically he wouldn’t commit himself to anything, just voted “present” again.

We should expect more out of this guy!?

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.


0bastard and his team are doing exactly what they set out to do. They are not saying things or doing things because the are incompetant, they are saying and doing becuase they hate Israel and love Islam domination. It’s really simple. They want Israel destroyed. Please understand this.

Obama’s redline on Iran's nuclear proliferation is somewhere between the 5th and 10th nuclear weapon going off in Israel. After which he will start drafting a sever letter of apology to Iran.
