The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back.
The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
SNIP----
Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.
“We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’

POS standing by his muzzy bros.
Why would any Jewish American vote Democrat ever again?
I find it odd/interesting this report comes to light a couple of days before Netenyahu’s speech before congress.
Trying to think of an angle here. Why now? What would release of the story accomplish?
It should not have lasted this long.
If I could know *when* in 2014 this happened, it would be easier to understand many things... especially given Drudge’s cryptic tweets over the last 6 months.
It must have happened right before Saudi Arabia said they’d let Israel overfly to go after Iran. Not when WE heard of it, but when SA decided it.
Now its fact.
Has Obama considered the consequences if an Israeli plane shooting down a US plane, in self defense? This would not be the Marianas’ turkey shoot.
Israeli fighter pilots are no push-overs and may just be the best in the world.
What time is Bibi speaking?
Obama doesn’t care. He would probably like it and would escalate as fast as his evil self can.
I wonder how many pilots would be willing to open fire on Israelis.
I wonder how many officers would be willing to order pilots to open fire on Israelis. How many commanders would resign rather than go to war with Israel.
I don’t believe she was born on earth. She’s got to be an alien, LOL.
Is that REAL ???????
She actually said that ?
Drudge still has it at red letter, pretty brave to do if these sources get eventually scuttled.
From Snopes:
Contrary to common rumor, however, neither Jarrett nor her parents are Iranian, nor (as far as well can tell) are any of them Muslim. Jarrett’s parents, James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman, were both American-born U.S. citizens from Washington, D.C. and Chicago, respectively; the couple merely lived in Iran for about six years in the late 1950s and early 1960s while James served as chair of pathology at Nemazee Hospital in Shiraz as part of a program that sent American physicians to work in developing countries.
Valerie was born in Shiraz during the Jarretts’ sojourn in Iran; she returned to the U.S. with her parents in 1962 (when she was five years old), whereupon she attended prep school in Massachusetts, graduated with a B.A. in psychology from Stanford University in 1978, and earned a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1981 before returning to Chicago to begin her working career. We’ve found no evidence Valerie Jarrett is (or ever was) Muslim, her only apparent connection to that religion being the incidental one that she temporarily lived in a predominantly Muslim country with her American parents for the first few years of her life.
The quote to attributed “Valerie Jarrett, Stanford University, 1977” about her “seek[ing] to help change America to be a more Islamic country” is an unfounded one that has no source other than recent repetition (primarily on right-wing web sites and blogs) and that in its commonly reproduced form is too stilted to be believable as the utterance of a fluent English speaker (e.g., “I am an Iranian by birth and of [sic] my Islamic faith”). No news article or document associated with Stanford University records Jarrett as having made this statement back in 1977; and if there were any credible evidence Jarrett had ever said anything remotely like this, it would have been a well-covered news story since shortly after the 2008 presidential election and not a obscure meme that didn’t pop up until several years later.

NO!
Israel should blow the Iranians back to Hades tonight before Bibi calls The Wizzard of Boz out tomorrow...
Repeating, Iran since removing the Shah, will stop at nothing now to reach it’s goals.
Next move will be unification with Iraq, and the overthrow of the Sunis, especially in Egypt, and the advance of the White Horseman.
I couldn’t copy the exact photo, the one in the video I linked to - so had to take the best I could find with a Google search. It was pretty close, but the uncopyable one showed her closer and beside him, with an ever-so-slight smile/grimace, and was almost as revealing as if it had shown “the puppeteers hands”.
