WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called on Israel Friday to "reach out and mend fences" with Turkey, Egypt and other security partners in the Middle East, saying he is troubled by the Jewish state's growing isolation in the volatile region.
He also urged Israeli leaders to do more to restart peace talks with the Palestinians and underscored President Barack Obama's determination to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He called Iran "a very grave threat to all of us" and said any Iranian disruption of the free flow of commerce through the Persian Gulf is a "redline" for the U.S.

What the hell is Panetta thinking? I thought he was smarter than this.
And, because of our testosterone challenged president, abandoned by the US.
Arab Spring, which his boss drools over, has given Islamists control of the area nations with no checks and balances. Islam wants no peace with Israel - only death.
Panetta knows that very well, what he he really saying?
leon, go to hell. And take your boss wih you.
He is saying that Israel is surrounded by fire and HE is soaking Israel in gasoline to expedite the process.
In closing,the sob occupying the White House is not my President, and will never be.
Shalom and Amen.
Leon Panetta and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are enemies of Israel and the United States.They have abetted the "Arab Spring" which has removed secular regimes and allowed the Muslim Brotherhood and/or Iran to ascend to power.
Israel is not the agressor. It is the so-called Palestinians and the muslim countries of the region working to destroy Israel.
It is not for Israel to reach out.
This is Panetta baiting the surrounded democratic ally of the U.S. which Obama is destroying.
Tell us about the threat of Iran, Leon, and explain why your boss the Degenerate Islamo Commie Kenyan did not intercede there in 2009.
Did Rat Boy promise Hussein he could play the Lost Imam at the next hadj.
Bring on a Cain and a Bolton, an Ollie North and the majority which will send the Boy King and his beard away.
Bring on the B-2s and the bunkerbusters, the Maximum Ordnance Penetrators.
Where Iran is concerned, no nukes is good nukes.
He knows what he and his pals community organized in the middle east. Israel can not fix what they have done through appeasement and they know it. That was the plan. God help us all.
Bingo. Panetta is really asking them to march into the gas chamber quietly.
Also, its quite revealing that you don’t hear Panetta saying anything about mending fences to Turkey or Egypt.
These leftists just twist the dagger a little more.
They are the cause of Israel’s isolation.
Israel has no friend in the United States anymore. They must defend themselves against the evil that is trying to break down the door to their home.
The current administration supports Israel’s enemies in each and every attack upon Israel. Panetta’s ‘lament’ is merely a backhand method of obfuscating the process by pretending to believe that Israel is somehow responsible for being attacked. A political masquerade.
The isolation has come from the neo-Holocaust DNC/Obama
administration.
Exactly, Libtards are so enamored with teaching anti bully curriculum to our children, here's a perfect object lesson for them what happens when bullies know there is no push back from people watching them...western civilization
