| Netanyahu Signals Determination on Iran, But War Will Have to Wait |
| 2012-03-06 |
| Had he been speaking Hebrew in a dramatic TV broadcast back home, parts of Benjamin Netanyahu’s fire-and-brimstone speech Tuesday night might have been mistaken for the words of an Israeli prime minister about to launch a fateful war. He painted Iran’s nuclear program as an apocalyptic extermination threat redolent of the Nazi Holocaust, stressed Israel’s power and responsibility to prevent a repeat of the greatest trauma in Jewish history, and vowed that “As Prime Minister of Israel, I will never let my people live under the shadow of annihilation”. But Netanyahu was speaking in English, to the America Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual policy conference in Washington D.C. — a forum whose raison d’etre is to leverage Israel’s cause in U.S. domestic politics. His purpose there was clearly to rally his considerable bipartisan support on Capitol Hill and beyond to maintain pressure on the Obama Administration to move closer to Israel’s red lines, timelines and perspective for action to stop Iran’s nuclear program. For now, however, the Administration has resisted his pressure. “We’ve waited for diplomacy to work,” he told the assembled Israel partisans at AIPAC, which included three quarters of members of Congress. “We’ve waited for sanctions to work. None of us can afford to wait much longer.” |

| #1 Over at FREEREPUBLIC, Dave Cameron says Iran is working on both NucBombs, + reliable LRBMS = ICBMS to deliver 'em, but also urges Israel to give sanctions a chance. E.g. pre, post-911 support for Radical Islamism widin both the Pakistan Govt. + Armed Forces; + historical support given to Militant-Terror Groups by Muslim Govts. during the Cold War. WHAT MAKES POLITICOS, ETAL. IN THE US-WEST THINK THAT RADICAL ISLAMIST MILTERR GROUPS WILL NOT DIRECTLY ANDOR INDIRECTLY CONTROL NUCLEAR ARSENALS [Nukes-WMDS]??? Moreso per the Globalist precept of a DIVERSE, EQUALIST "MULTIPOLAR" WORLD UNDER OWG-NWO, which in the minds of many Muslims, Islamists, + even non-Muslim/Islamist Third Worlders means or infers that its okay in the US-West for them to have potent NucWeapons??? |
