Report: Obama Adminstration to Iran: If Israel Attacks, We Won't Get Involved

[formerlurker]

Nevelle ? For enabling Hitler ? How did I get lumped in with that by advancing the position that our potential response to a conflict with Israel shouldn't be pre emptively released, thus forcing our adversary to consider the worst ? That's not placating. That's not appeasement unless someone can explain differently.

I am referring to Obama groveling - don't attack our bases cause we are cool with you nonsense.

I honestly missed your post, but read DAT's first post then thundley's summary of what the messiah is doing.

The EU can speak to how well diplomacy works with Iran.   This administration and history is like oil and water.

If the Israelis attack, the odds are that one should look for it during two of the darkest nights in the next months: mid-September or mid-October.

Are people paying attention to this?  Probably not, or so it seems to me, until gasoline hits $15.00 a gallon during the panic which will ensure in the aftermath.

In the short-run deterring an Israeli attack seems the smart thing to do, but we know that allowing an "Islamic bomb" is strategically suicidal.  A quick and massive wave completely crippling any Iranian response is the only possible medicine here, but do the Israelis have the firepower?

Reports came out that - in typical fashion - the MAObama regime was "favorably disposed" toward Israeli requests for bunker-buster bombs and refueling takers...but were such weapons ever sold or delivered to the Israelis?

"Diplomatic cables exposed by the WikiLeaks website exposed discussion concerning advanced weapons shipments. In one cable which surveyed defense discussions between Israel and the United states that took place on November 2009 it was written that "both sides then discussed the upcoming delivery of GBU-28 bunker busting bombs to Israel, noting that the transfer should be handled quietly to avoid any allegations that the USG is helping Israel prepare for a strike against Iran."

So BIG BRObama is willing to sell the Israelis the stuff...but not to let them use it!
