Once again Obama is trying to protect his own interests instead of what’s best for the world siding with Iran over Israel:

YNET NEWSWashington reportedly sends Tehran indirect message saying it will not back Israeli strike on nuclear facilities as long as Iran refrains from attacking American facilities in Persian Gulf

The United States has indirectly informed Iran, via two European nations, that it would not back an Israeli strike against the country’s nuclear facilities, as long as Tehran refrains from attacking American interests in the Persian Gulf, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday.

According to the report, Washington used covert back-channels in Europe to clarify that the US does not intend to back Israel in a strike that may spark a regional conflict.

In return, Washington reportedly expects Iran to steer clear of strategic American assets in the Persian Gulf, such as military bases and aircraft carriers.

Israeli officials reported an unprecedented low in the two nations’ defense ties, which stems from the Obama administration’s desire to warn Israel against mounting an uncoordinated attack on Iran.

The New York Times reported Monday that US President Barack Obama is promoting a series of steps meant to curb an Israeli offensive against Iran, while forcing the Islamic Republic to take the nuclear negotiations more seriously.

One of the steps considered is “an official declaration by Obama about what might bring about American military action, as well as covert activities that have been previously considered and rejected,” the report said.

Several of Obama’s top advisors believe that Jerusalem is seeking an unequivocal American statement regarding a US strike on Iran – should it actively pursue a nuclear bomb.

Israel hopes such a statement is made during Obama’s address before the UN General Assembly on September 25.

More and more this evil man scares me. I've always thought he despises Israel as well as America . Every action he has taken in the middle east has put Israel in danger, from Mubarek to Quadaffi to allowing Muslim Brotherhood in the people's White House. He has Samantha Powers advising him who hates Israel. He has Valerie Jarret who has communist ties and who is also Iranian born. Obama is friends with Rashid Khaledi and others who have ties to the PLO . Come on , it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see he surrounds himself with people who despise Israel. When Obama sits there looking at Netanyahu in the White House , his face says , I'd love to smack you upside your head ! Obama is so dangerous for the world. Watch the movie 2016 , you will understand Obamas smile is nothing but a mask to fool the people.OMG2012

Making a deal with the Devil will only gain you a lost soul Obama. No loss for you since you are already bought and paid for but the rest of us in America would prefer to keep our souls. Back Israel you fool!!

Everything with Obama is political, including sacrificing loyalty to an ally in a strategic place just to preserve his election chances. He has "bow waved" virtually everything past the election that could play against his re-election chances. He may wake up one day and realize that he does not want to inherit his own debacle that has been set up for 2013. Pathetic. It boggles my mind why any Jew in America would consider voting for him when he throws their heritage (and in some cases, mother) country over the transom to enhance his own agenda.

Begging Iran not to attack US interests only shows weakness. Besides Iran wouldn't likely honor whatevery they may tell the obamessiah's emissaries.

I think the following from http://www.iba.org.il/world/ is more likely. That Iran's surrogates do at least some of their dirty work - by attacking US as well as Israeli interests.

Hezbollah leader: Iran would strike US bases in response to Israeli attack

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says Iran could hit US bases in the Middle East in response to any Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities -- even if American forces played no role in the attack.

Citing information he said was from Iranian officials, Nasrallah told a Beirut-based television station that if Israel targets Iran, America bears responsibility.

At the same time, Nasrallah said he does not expect Israel to attack Iran in the coming months or forseeable future. Nasrallah also repeated a warning that Hezbollah could cause widespread destruction if it came into conflict with Israel again, but he denied that the Shi'ite group has, or would ever use, chemical weapons. Nasrallah said Hezbollah has rockets that could hit what he called Israel's "weak points," including economic, industrial electrical, chemical and nuclear sites.

We can expect to kiss our butts good bye if dear leader continues on this path. I pray the Lord knows that although this man got "elected" not all of us want anything to do with him or his anti Israel policies. Those who Bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse Israel will be cursed.

OK you guys have had your fun with JG. He's not going to give up, continues to make stupid, uninformed comments and ask questions that should tell you how uninformed he is (or he just doesn't want to know the truth).

I checked his profile before I even commented on JG's first comment earlier. One comment he had made is that he is not a Christian, so that should give you a clue. He seems to be a Paulbot to me.

Stop already! He's just here to stir things up, and not interesting in learning the truth.

Yeah, the same Egypt where O encouraged the Arab Spring, now being run by the MB, while staying silent when the people of Iran were screaming for our help and O was silent. When you put all of the pieces together of what has happened over the last 3+ years, it starts to make more sense. Not a picture I thought I would ever see!

Perhaps O was being honest when he said his plan is working. Unfortunately, none of us knew what the plan was exactly! Now that we are getting a clearer picture, it is truly frightening, not just for us but for the world.

Remember how troubling it was that zero did nothing about N. Korea's missiles ... and then right after the Iranian Green Movement was ignored. It was so un-American it really got my antenna quivering.

His plan is working alright. It just isn't anything good for anyone in the world.

I don't think there is anything accidental about this treasonous regime. That frightens me more than anything. They are proficient in their destruction of all we hold dear. We have learned quite a lot about the many subversive actions but it is mind boggling to know it is probably only the tip of the iceburg. It will take a monumental, sustained effort to eradicate the roots of the cancerous tumor afflicting our massive government.

It's not even good for Obama. He has been anti-Israel while saying he is pro-Israel. He can't pretend forever and it will become more obvious when crap hits the fan. He hoped to not be obviously outed before November, but the heat's on him now and he's not going to make it. He's busted.

And the security leaks? I'm sure those weren't by accident. I swear, everything he has done is the complete opposite of what an American president should do, whether on the home front or abroad. The list goes on and on how treasonous he is. We should all be scared, very, very scared of what he will do next.

Not quite, George Washington in his farewell address advocated free trade with all and alliances with no nations. He also warned about the dangers of friendly nations influencing the American people.

That may be true but NATO was formed as a united front against communism. Maybe it has outlived it's purpose since the cold war is over, I'm not sure. But I don't think we can survive as a nation without alliances any more.

Not trying to be against you. This is really something I've never thought about.....having a nation with no allies. Are you saying you agree with Washington or were you just pointing out what he said?

I can assure you Obama HATES Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama hates everything Netanyahu stands for, he hates that Netanyahu is a real man and a leader which is two things Obama will NEVER be.

Obama is nothing more than a petty adolescent wanna be dictator..

Obama would stand aside and watch if he thought Israel was going down and laugh .

No doubt in my mind..

kong1967
kong1967

I will never forget the contempt on Obama's face when Netanyahu was lecturing him on foreign policy and/or Israel's security. He probably felt like a child being scolded for getting an 'F' on his report card. I'm sure Netanyahu has no love for Obama, either. Difference is, Netanyahu can laugh at Obama for being an incompetent turd. Obama cannot do the same.

Israel should not hope for anything from zero, at the UN or anywhere else. They've seen his true colours. His re-election is more important to him than Israel, period.

kong1967
kong1967

Exactly, and Obama put his re-election above Israel's existence right to their faces. If they didn't wait until after the election to attack Iran they would not get our help. He had the nerve to base our support behind a war effort entirely on his re-election bid. That is a very, very dangerous man that will do that.

That's why I use the term psychopath instead of sociopath - the latter is less dangerous. Wow, the whole world has to pay for his childhood neglect, eh?

Lol, don't take this the wrong way, but....you really know how to scare the hell out of someone.

Seriously, we need to be informed as much as possible. Thanks for the link.

Obama is undermining Israel and the comments from Dempsey about Israel not being capable of carrying out the needed operation was a strategic betrayal. This is all coming to a head at the worst possible moment in history....while Obama is at the helm. Then again, that might be exactly why this is coming to a head. Iran is opportunist.

If you were getting frustrated, pefectly understandable, it didn't show. You did great.

I just read this at Debkafile about one of the results of zero cutting back on the military exercises with Israel - seems Israel's window to defend itself against Iranian weapons has been reduced from 14 minutes - but it doesn't say what the revised notice period is. So, the number of dead in a worst case situation is now far greater.

Either zero knows he's losing and is pulling out all the stops to do the maximum damage before he goes, both domestically and abroad, or it's all a bluff and something big is gonna go down with the US as back-up. But that would only be if zero thought it'd help him with the elections IMO.

Meanwhile, "the guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay, one of the biggest in the world, left San Diego early Saturday headed for the Persian Gulf with a battle group led by Washington-based aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis", also at Debka.

Debkafile is an Israeli news outlet that used to be criticized for its purported use of inside information - but its filings were often found to be fact-based and in recent years it's become a good source. Here, with the Stennis report in the update bar on the left:

Even though things are kinda calm right now and he's not pushing a big agenda, I don't think we've seen the worst of what he is going to do before he leaves. I have a feeling the October surprise is going to be a doozy. I just hope we aren't caught flat footed.
