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

Posted on 09/14/2012 5:19:26 PM PDT by edpc

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.

I do understand that... but obama had his own reasons for doing it. He trusted these satanic animals because he is one of them and he thought that they would follow his taqiyya and allow obama to appear to usher in a peace in the ME and force Israel into submission. I heard this from an ex IDF Colonel.

He is ignorant and incompetent because his master plan has failed to materialize as he wanted it to. Things have escalated far beyond his power to control them and he and his advisers are floundering and the press can't save him this time. He wants to do the things that you say but he also wants to be supreme ruler and savior of the world. He can't even keep his lies straight today.

The feds (which dept - State, I can’t remember, too much going on) knew 48 hours before the attacks in Cairo and Libya - that embassies/consulates would be attacked. The warning was NOT passed on to the embassy in Cairo or the consulate or embassy in Libya. It was know. It was not passed on.

0bastard wants war in the ME and I think his fear of losing the election is spurring the chaos on. He wants a war in the ME while he is president, so our mil can be damaged and Israel destroyed. He doesn’t want peace. He wants dominance.

I don’t know about the ex IDF colonel’s inside knowledge, I have no clue. My opinion is from (too much) reading...

>>Gary Samore - WMD Policy Czar
>>Former US Communist. Wants US to destroy all WMD unilaterally as a show of good faith. Has no other “policy”

When hippie chicks with names like “Star” voice opinions like that, it is sometimes sort of cute, though obviously ditzy.

When people that hold high gov’t position in the area of nuclear weaponry show themselves to be complete blissninnies, it is quite a frightening thing.

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

I think they really meant we will send them a stern letter after they use a nuclear weapon. /s

Mogadishu played a part, as did Saudi Arabian bases, according to Bin Laden.

Saudi Arabian bases was an excuse just as the stupid video. Mogadishu was about war lords starving people that turned into an incredibly botched UN feed the hungry mission. The two African Embassies were about attacking American sovereign soil.

He's not a blissninnie, he has a stated and deliberate goal of rendering the US impotent.

“Is this for real?”

Someone at Google or someone reported to google that I have malware. I have had others scan my site and I have personally scanned my site for malware and found none.

Therefore, I have to conclude that this an error of Google or- something else. You decide.

But, I have had zero complaints of those who visit my site of malware. Friday, I had over 3500 visitors and downloads and no complaints.

I also cut and paste the entire week’s posts to a friday post here at FR. No complaints there either. -Ah well...
