Netanyahu to Obama: Stop Iran—Or I Will


www.theatlantic.com
The American president, he said, must stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons—and quickly—or an imperiled Israel may be forced to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities itself.

“The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu told me...

“You don’t want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs. When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death..."

If a War starts in Iran, guess whos sons and daughters will be sent over to die there???Obama MAY try to increase the political pressure, but the US is not about to get into another foolish war in the Mid East.

Too late. It has already happened and it is called Israel. Israel has over 200 nuclear weapons and that very fact makes it ILLEGAL for the US to send any financial aide to Israel. Israel refused to sign the nuclear non proliferation treaty and thus,by US law, it is illegal to send them the Billions of dolalrs we currently do. This is why, when asked by reporters "Who in the Mid East has Nuclear weapons?" Obama dodged the question.

Iran does not have Nuclear Weapons. Their nuclear facilities are not capable of making weapons grade material. The US Secretary of Defense stated recently that Iran would not have the capability any time soon. Bush lied to the nation with his tales of Weapons of Mass Destruction and got us involved in chaos in Iraq. Does Israel think the world public is so stupid to be fooled with another boogeyman story again? Israel is simply a war monger with a lust for blood.

( To clarify: When I say Israel, I mean the leaders, not simply all the people living there. There are many decent individuals in Israel who are against the Racism, Hatred and cries for War)

Israel attack anyone??? Nahhh Never happened.... err other than the USS Liberty, The King David Hotel, the British Embassy in Rome, The Massacre of Deir Yassin, Heck they even blew up their OWN people on the Jewish ship Patria. The list of Israeli terrorist attacks is long and well documented.

As far as Israel being attacked in '67. Umm no Israel started it:
June 5, 1967: Israeli committed its biggest, most treacherous and premeditated aggression against Egypt, Syria and Jordan. After destroying Arab aircraft on the ground in a lightening attack, Israeli forces invaded and occupied the rest of Palestine, that is, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, the Syrian Golan Heights and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula. In the first days of its aggression and in plain disregard of the truth, Israel fabricated a charge of aggression against its victims and presented it in a dramatic manner to the U.N. Security Council. Western media spread this fabricated story and the whole world sympathized with the supposed victim. In 1967 the Israeli's made a third ruthless blitzkrieg attack upon the Arabs. This time they deliberately destroyed three quarters of a million dollar's worth of church property.

The great deception practiced by Israel on the U.N. and the whole world is now completely discredited, the Israelis, therefore, changed their tactics and rely nowadays on the argument that, they were NOT attacked by Egypt, they were in danger of BEING attacked, and hence they resorted to a so-called pre-emptive strike. Alan Hart quotes a former Israeli Director of military intelligence as telling him "if Nasser had not given Israel the excuse to attack the Arabs, Israel would have invented a pretext for war within six or ten months" because its military planners had decided that the time had come to knock out vast amounts of mainly Soviet-supplied Arab armor. Yitzhak Rabin, who as chief of staff planned this attack told Le Monde in February 1968, quite simply: "We knew that Nasser did not intend to attack."


Now Israel claims that they are in danger of being attacked by Iran, despite the fact that Iran has no nukes and is no where near to being able to make them. Does this Israeli claim of being in danger of attack sound familiar? Iran is not threatening Israel, and is not an aggressor nation. It is Israel that is fermenting trouble once again. The US should stay clear of Israeli insanity.
