like the United States, who needs enemies. Last year Israel revealed to the Obama administration, through Secretary of State John Kerry, it's plans to attack Iranian nuclear facilities in order to slow down that country's rabid race to the atomic bomb. Rather than then coordinating plans with Jerusalem, the U.S. threatened to shoot down any attacking Israeli planes ... see: Israel National News Revelation. Shoot them down! Let me repeat ... the United States would shoot down Israeli planes if they tried to destroy Iran's atomic weaponry facilities! Wow!
The Obama misadministration is so invested in trying to woo Iran ... now not even to the point of making it renounce and destroy its path to becoming an atomic power ... see: Charles Krauthammer's Analysis, that it is willing to attack just about our only "ally" in the Middle East.
This clearly is not a happy circumstance ... as I hope we all find out in detail when Bibi Netanyahu speaks to a joint session of Congress this Tuesday. I realize that, if the Israeli Prime Minister lays it all out then and there, that his speech might be a wake-up call to any Americans who still have an open mind. Yes, Netanyahu may well be burning his last bridge to the Obama administration, but, at this point, I don't see that his country has much more to lose ... given what we threatened to do to them last year.

The sources cited for the assertion that Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli planes are murky. My shit-detector tells me that this is just feeding porridge to Obama haters.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't even make sense from any thoughtful perspective. (ps Israel does not tell US when it plans attacks on Iran.)
