The day before yesterday, Israel informed the Obama administration that Iran was building missiles with a range of over 6000 miles for the purpose of striking the United States with an atomic weapon.
The following day, yesterday, Feb. 2, 2012, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Washington Post columnist David Ignatius he’s worried Israel may decide to attack Iran as early as this spring, and so Ignatius wrote “Panetta believes there is a strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June”, exactly as Panetta had to have known that he would.
One thing that is NEVER done is reveal the attack plans of your allies. Unless you want to undermine their plans, of course. What Obama’s stooge Panetta is doing is playing both ends against the middle.
Obama wants Israel to wait until it’s too late to attack Iran. He’s repeatedly demonstrated his antipathy toward Israel and his lack of support of our only Middle East ally. His sympathies lie with the Muslims, not the Jews. By outing Israel, saying that it’s not just that Israel may attack Iran but that it WILL attack Iran, and giving an inclusive time period in which they’ll do so, he’s helping Iran to prepare for the attack.
At the same time, Obama is using the threat of an imminent Israeli attack to force Iran to finally capitulate and give up their atomic bomb program. Besides the fact that this is an extreme show of total disrespect of a highly valued ally by Obama, it will never work!
The Islamic dictatorship of Iran has completely ignored all sanctions and all efforts to make them give up their pursuit of nuclear weapons. They’ve delayed, lied and misled ever since their nuclear program began and that’s still the same tactics they use today. Trying to use Israel as a club, telling the Iranians that they only have until June at most before Israel will attack, accomplishes nothing and whoever thought that it would, Panetta probably, is a fool.
The Iranian response to all this has been a threat that if the United States backs Israel when Israel attacks, that Iran will attack the United States. Exactly how they think they can do that other than attacking some of our Navy ships, I don’t know and I doubt they do either. Our response to any such attacks would be massive and immediate and the Iranians know it.
Step back and take a long view for a moment. Egypt and Syria are both in turmoil. The riots in both nations are escalating and this has been going on for months now. The so-called Arab Spring has turned into an Arab Winter, and Obama’s hand has been right in the middle of it. The small influence that democracy has had is evaporating entirely with the march of Islamic rule, and both nations are allies of Iran. What better time for Israel to attack than when the allies of their enemy are involved in their own internal conflicts?
So if we assume that Obama wants Israel to be wiped out, and that seems to be a safe assumption considering his consistent behavior and attitude, then revealing their battle plans is also consistent behavior.
From that I can extrapolate that Obama is actually passing on secret information to Iran of Israel’s plans and capabilities, to further confound Israel. I really don’t think that’s too much of a stretch. This is one incredibly corrupt president we’ve given ourselves here, don’t forget. By revealing Israel’s plans publicly, Obama can then say that anything else Iran knows, they simply figured out because of it. It would be hard to prove otherwise.
I do hope Israel does attack and that Iran attacks some of our ships in retaliation. I would hope that none of our sailors get hurt or killed in the process, only that it inspires a massive counter-assault against Iran whether Obama likes it or not, and ends this insane dictatorship. Anything less may result in a conflict that expands ever outward until it involves the entire planet.
That lying bastard in the White House and all his minions are leading us down a path that will be our undoing. Why would the Godfather ..(Paneta) reveal such a thing in the media? Corrupt SOB ! …Probaly by Barry’s direction. God i hope and pray we send that worthless bastard back to Chi Town where he belongs !
The entire Obama administration is destroying this country and the safety of democracy around the world.
