Obama tells Netanyahu he will be 'clear eyed' in Iran talks
2013-10-01
[Al Ahram] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Monday Iran must dismantle its "military nuclear program" as a condition for a diplomatic breakthrough that would head off the prospect of military action.

Netanyahu told President Barack Obama
Ready to Rule from Day One...
in White House talks that such a step was Israel's "bottom line" as hopes rise of a deal to end the nuclear showdown between Washington, world powers and Tehran.

Obama, meanwhile, promised Netanyahu that the United States would be "clear eyed" in talks with Iran but that it had to "test" prospects for a breakthrough, though reserved the right to take military action against nuclear installations in Iran if diplomacy failed.
He's The Smartest Man In The Room, so stop worrying your pretty little head about the first ever nuclear genocide, little Bibi.

#6  Good luck with that, I doubt he will have any real success; after all, up to this point, everything he has touched in the international arena has turned to sh-t. He will need this

#5  Who does he think he is, when he says, "clear eyed"? Saul Alinsky? Vladimir Lenin, perhaps?What does he think it means, I wonder?

The dictionary says, "Having or showing an ability to think clearly."

As opposed to - naïve, exploitable, gullible, unperceptive, dim-witted, knuckleheaded, weak-minded, foolish, thoughtless, or uninformed - all of which seem to fit better.

#3  Get Putin to tell Obama how to get gamed. And how smart is it to bend over in a world that is very like Cellblock D.

#2  He's The Smartest Man In The Room

And seems to be quite convinced of it. The problem with thinking you are smart is believing you can't be fooled, tricked, duped or outmaneuvered. After all, you're really really smart.

#1  Iran ally Baby Assad has until Summer 2014 to destroy his Chemical Weapons, so IMO its prolly safe to say the Bammer will NOT initiate any sort of milaction agz Iran's NucProg until such time, iff ever.

PLENTY OF TIME FOR IRAN ALLY NORTH KOREA TO FINISH DEV [testing?] ITS ALLEGED "SMALL TACTICAL NUCLEAR WARHEAD" DESIGNS. IMO a small, cheap? tacnuke [read, PLENTIFUL] would be Iran's first choice of selection, wid larger + more potent LR tactical + strategic warheads to come later.

GOOD FOR THE OWG GLOBAL CALIPHATE + GLOBALIST "CO-SUPERPOWERS".
