| Israel delivers ultimatum to Obama on Iran's nuclear plans |
| 2012-03-03 |
| At Monday's meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama the Israeli prime minister will deliver a stark warning. Their relationship, almost from the outset, has been frostier than not, a mutual antipathy palpable in many of their previous encounters. Two years ago, Barack Obama reportedly left Benjamin Netanyahu to kick his heels in a White House anteroom, a snub delivered to show the president's irritation over Israel's settlement policy in the West Bank. In May, the Israeli prime minister struck back, publicly scolding his purse-lipped host for the borders he proposed of a future Palestinian state. When the two men meet in Washington on Monday, Mr Obama will find his guest once more at his most combative. But this time, perhaps as never before, it is the Israeli who has the upper hand. Exuding confidence, Mr Netanyahu effectively brings with him an ultimatum, demanding that unless the president makes a firm pledge to use US military force to prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear bomb, Israel may well take matters into its own hands within months. The threat is not an idle one. According to sources close to the Israeli security establishment, military planners have concluded that never before has the timing for a unilateral military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities been so auspicious. |

| #4 The USA has been at war with Iran for the last 30-40 years. Only *we* have never acknowledged it. Don't forget all the IED's Iran supplied the terrorists in Iraq which killed hundreds of Americans and probably thousands of Civilians. |

| #1 Wehell, iff the Bammer doesn't, the US may be at war wid Iran sometime this Summer thru the Fall Quarter??? Israel doesn't trust Iran to keep Mil-oriented Nuctechs [Nukes-WMDS] away from the hands of Islamist Militant-Terror Groups - Shia or Sunni, Govt. or Proxy NGO, "OWG/GLOBAL CALIPHATE" IS ON THE MINDS OF THE ISLAMISTS, SHARIA-ISTS, + ALIGNED ETHNO-ISLAMIC RADICALS, + THAT MEANS CONQUERING TERRITORIES + GOING NUCLEAR. While the Commies work to finally impose Leftism-Socialism on the US-West, vee SECULAR "POLITICAL-LEGAL-ELECTORAL JIHAD" so to speak, Radical Islam on its part is waging Regional, Global Jihad "where the US-West + Commies aren't", + dev the Nuclear Capabilities, etc. to one day unilaterally challenge [iff not destroy] the Commies. |
