Israel to Obama: hold Iran's feet to fire, or else

[Bouncer]

By Alistair Lyon, Special Correspondent - Analysis

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel will go along with President Barack Obama's Iran diplomacy, but try to shorten the deadline for results by signaling its willingness to attack Iranian nuclear sites if need be.

Israel votes on Tuesday and its next prime minister -- the front-runner is rightwinger Benjamin Netanyahu -- is likely to go to Washington within a few months and press Obama to stick to his campaign promise not to let Iran develop an atomic bomb.

Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. Middle East negotiator now at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, said the visit would entail a "strategic conversation" with Obama.

"It need not be conclusive or threatening, but it will be very serious and ... scare the daylights out of the president that unless the international community mobilizes to address the situation, the Israelis will," Miller said.

Voting "present" won't be good enough for Obama anymore.

The true tests are coming.

How about Obama says to Isreal stop bombing Palestine while the world looks on in horror or else the USA will stop supplying your fighter jets, M16's and military hardware and it will be a fair fight, so you will be fucked.

That might influence them down the diplomacy route, how'd that fly?

It wouldn't. The US can't afford to not sell their old jets and weaponry to israel. Israel knows this and even if we did stop, that would not stop israel. I don't see obama really caring at all about the war on terrorism. He's already spit in the faces of the family members of those who were killed on the USS Cole by dropping the charges on those responsible. Strike one.

Charges dropped in Guantanamo terror trial - Yahoo! News

Obama halted the proceedings, what he calls pushing the pause button. However, by doing so, all charges are being dropped. New charges can be brought on later after he reviews the whole guantanamo bay situation, which could take who knows how long.

Why do Jews complain that they feel anti semetism and wonder why, here's the solution, stop slaughtering innocent civilians from the air.

[Mr I]

Brilliant thread, funny how things come around and play out.

Its interesting how leaders and their spin doctors use the word terrorists to aid their agenda.

Little do most people know that Isreal was born out of Zionist Terrorism, yes they themselves were infamous terrorists.
