Israel is fuming with the White House for confirming that it was the Israeli Air Force that struck a military base near the Syrian port city of Latakia on Wednesday, hitting weaponry that was set to be transferred to Hezbollah.
Israel has not acknowledged carrying out the strike, one of half a dozen such attacks widely ascribed to Israel in recent months, but an Obama administration official told CNN on Thursday that Israeli warplanes had indeed attacked the Syrian base, and that the target was “missiles and related equipment” set for delivery to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel’s Channel 10 TV on Friday night quoted Israeli officials branding the American leak as “scandalous.” For Israel’s ally to be acting in this way was “unthinkable,” the officials were quoted as saying.
A second TV report, on Israel’s Channel 2, said the leak “came directly from the White House,” and noted that “this is not the first time” that the administration has compromised Israel by leaking information on such Israeli Air Force raids on Syrian targets.
... the administration has compromised Israel by leaking information on such Israeli Air Force raids ...
If you like your state secrets, you will be able to keep your state secrets. Period.
If you like your national sovereignty, you will be able to keep your national sovereignty. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
What SHOULD we expect from a Muslim Brotherhood enabler.
You are correct. This is the 0Bammy regimes way of sending a message to Israel. That we will leak and otherwise make sure Iran knows of any attack you are putting into action. That we (0bama regime) will sabotage such efforts
Man, this guy (Lord Zero) is just pissing off everybody....
Lighten up.
The Arabs guessed this ten seconds after it happened.
bwahhaa...MOST could give a rats ass and are Democrat who would side with Obama on this incident. They don't care about Israel.
Just give Barry misinformation. You can’t EVER trust a Muzzie.
Yeah, our luck Barry would be on one of his frequent boondoggles.
I think the president is an amateur. At least that’s what I think when I’m being kind.
It’s one thing to know it and another to announce it
>>This administration is despicable<<
Maybe, but it’s not like you had to be a genius to figure who did this.
“Israel? Who knew? (Slap forehead.)”
Do what you need to do Israel.
Having read the article, this appears to be an Obama attempt to force Assad to respond. Neither Israel nor Assad want conflict, but Obama does so that he might gain a pretext to attack Syria. This would please his Saudi masters.
From what I read, Iran will have the bomb before the Hero of Benghazi leaves office.
If I recall correctly, he declared several times that he would not let Iran have the bomb. Kind of like keeping your medical insurance I guess.
