Yes. As I said, I have no doubt he would use "teeth" if he felt it necessary. It's just that that's not his first choice.

Hold on so when the Iranian leader says the Zionist regime will disappear people claim he is a monster, but when a US leader says he will eliminate the Iran threat he is a hero? Makes no sense to me.
Firstly, I never claimed the Iranian leader was a monster. So that doesn't apply to me. You'll have to speak to those who hold that opinion.
And secondly, when Obama claims he will eliminate the threat posed by Iran (if there is one) by first using aggressive diplomacy and being willing to use military force if necessary, then yeah, he's pretty much a hero to me.
Is there a problem with that?

What is wrong with this candidates, are they forgetting this is America no Israel?

Yes there is a BIG problem with that. The American people are sick and tired of being labeled evil, they are tired of losing money on a lose-lose war, they are tired of being ripped off by the government who funds companies like Halliburton, CACI, KBR and other companies that overcharge the government, they are tired of not being listened to and you still want to go to war with Iran?
Im not saying invasion of Iran is the answer

And I have no doubt that Obama has fangs and would use them if necessary.

You must understand that I am sick and tired of people claiming Iran is a threat because Israel says so. If Iran is a threat to Israel then Israel should deal with it not the US. Israel has more then enough money, weapons and troops to deal with their own problems. If you go to war with Iran then people will claim Iranians are monsters because the US troops are coming home in body bags.
