Obama Has Made It Impossible For Israel To Strike Iran
2014-01-29
A taste:
[AmThinker] I called a hardheaded realist, a Harvard trained PhD who has been watching the Middle East professionally for decades, to ask him about Obama's Iran deal. This is what he told me.

It's done. Iran will get a bomb.

They want a bomb and they will not be denied unless somebody stops them. Obama does not want to stop them. He does not want a friendly regime in Iran. He wants Iran as a counterforce to America and Israel. Obama is not a Mohammedan, but he is a radical. He sees the U.S. and Israel as imperialistic and oppressive. He doesn't like the U.S. military. He'd cut it to nothing if he could get away with it.

This deal makes it essentially impossible for Israel to strike -- not least because the U.S. has Israel under a microscope, by satellite and other technical means, and also with spies in the government and the IDF (Israeli Defense Force). At the first hint that a mission is imminent, the White House will leak it to the Washington Post, the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, destroying operational security. Just as the U.S. leaked about Israel's strikes into Syria.

#8  When the story unexpectedly leaked that there were secret air bases being set up by Israel in order to strike Iran - whether true or not - well, we know.

Let me try to unwrap this a bit, and help is appreciated, but there Israel was striking targets of Assad at the same time the US was trying to support anti-Assad groups, and still leaked that info. Is this a tell on the level of support, or more of this pissing in a colendar and calling it soup committment to operational security?

#6  It's done. Iran will get a bomb. The word "traitor" comes to mind in regards to the politicians and their policies that allowed this to happen.

#4  As for ISRAEL, the prob is notsomuch Israel + IDF being unable to attack Iran, for Israel most certainly can do so conventionally in limited strike = limited war, or in alternat wholly via its Nuclear LRBMS - THE MAIN PROB FOR ISRAEL IS ALLEGED MARXIST-ANARCHIST-GLOBALIST, "RED-LINE" BUSTING POTUS OBAMA BACKING THEM UP, INCLUD BY THREAT OF PRO-ISRAELI MIL INTERVENTION, AS HIS PREDECESSORS DID???

Libya, Egypt, anti-Assad Syrian FSA, soon potens to be joined by US Allies Japan + ROK + PHIL + Taiwan, etc. + India, Other in East Asia???

OBAMA THE NATIONALIST, VERSUS OBAMA THE GLOBALIST; OBAMA THE PRO-SOVEREIGNTY NATIONALIST VERSUS OBAMA THE ANTI-SOVEREIGNTY GLOBALIST???

#3  "IRAN as a counterforce to America + Israel"

The Author must mean Amerika, but that's beside the point - isn't the above one of the major or base premises of having IRAN, ETAL. as OWG Global "Co-Superpowers"???

Or did I miss something?

* FYI IIRC TOPIX, WORLD NEWS, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PAKISTAN TELLS KERRY: DON'T FORGET ABOUT US.

[SIMPLE MINDS' "BREAKFAST CLUB" Theme here].

Personally, I'm more interested in any covert agreements, formal andor "handshake", between the DemoLeft + GOP-Right, as well as between Globalists and Anti-Globalists, as to the specific or particular details of their agenda, I.E. THE DETAILS THEY DELIBERAT DON'T WANT TO TELL THE VOTERS/MAINSTREAM UNTIL ITS TOO LATE, IFF AT ALL.

#2  I suspect that Isreal knows they have foxes in the henhouse and keep them on a short leash, feeding them enough juicy bits to keep the DC bosses satisfied. But when the time comes, they will act and Bambi and the rest of the Clown Force will be surprized.
