"Two days ago Obama held a press conference in which he openly prevaricated and disinformed the world about the true nature of his meeting with Israel PM Netanyahu. Today we find what was truly discussed, courtesy of Israel's Maariv newspaper, Spiegel and Reuters, which all tell us that it was a simple case of quid pro quo, namely that Barack Obama would supply Israel with bunker-busters and refueling planes if Bibi promised to delay an Iran attack until after the presidential election. The implication is simple - avoid an oil price shock this summer and delay it until next winter when Obama will be safely in his throne for another 4 years, ...."

Obama says, "Israel set aside your national interests and security and believe my insincere promises to protect you. After all, my own people are suckers and believe me and you too must be suckers."

Meanwhile Iran works on the final steps to have nuclear weapons capable of incinerating Israel and a lot of the USA. Note to N. Korea, US taxpayer funded food for pretending to stop upgrading your bombs and missiles.

Wow. Let’s not let a little existential threat get in the way of politics.

If Iran launches a nuclear attack on Israel, Obama should be tried for aiding genocide and treated like other Jew-haters after WWII.

The possibility of the extinction of a race or an election, you choose.

The intention is to get Israel and the US blown away - which is the “Muslim agenda” which Obama told the Egyptian ambassador that he supported. Not even this self-centered brat could seriously believe that his own presidency was more important than Israel and the US combined; so the destruction of those 2 countries has to be the plan and not merely a by-product of him acting selfishly.

Obama is beneath contempt. What a vile & evil man to put his re-election prospects above the safety and security of Israel.

The US under the Muslim-in-Chief is Israel’s most dangerous enemy.

And the first words out of Obama’s mouth, if he becomes president will be, “suckers”.

Why wait? I don’t understand, unless Barack is lying to Israel and in the end won’t help

I love how Hussein said he always has Israel’s back...

If I were Bibi, I would have said, Thank you, Mr. Obama, but Israel prefers that you stand where she can see you.

Netanyahu needs to keep from protecting Israel to help obammy get re-elected cause obammy has been so very cordial to Mr. Netanyahu and Israel.

GO Israel, knock hell out of Iran. Please do it NOW.

If this quid-pro-quo deal is factually true and not just speculation on the part of the author and/or his sources,
this needs to be exposed far and wide.

Along with it being a disgraceful disregard of the Israelie dileama ,it is willful interference in domestic politics using the good faith and credit of the US.

Surely even leftists can see the wrong in this. It may be in keeping with their objectives but it is still wrong.

Netanyahu should accept the deal and then do it anyway.

I am more concerned about the details of how the Israeli Security Cabinet works. Sounds like they need to achieve a consensus of 8 people from all across their political spectrum to authorize an attack. Seems like trying to herd cats.

What deal? I thought Israel didn’t have an aircraft that can carry our largest bunker buster. We already gave Israel smaller bunker busters.

It’s obvious Obama has made his choice.

Note to Netanyahu: You are a fool if you believe Obama will do what he says. And I am assuming you are no fool.
