“Not since its birth has Israel been so cast adrift by its closest ally.”
“There are two positions one can take regarding the Iranian nuclear program: (a) it doesn’t matter, we can deter them, or (b) it does matter, we must stop them.
In my view, the first position — that we can contain Iran as we did the Soviet Union — is totally wrong, a product of wishful thinking and
misread history. But at least it’s internally coherent.
What is incoherent is President Obama’s position. He declares the Iranian program intolerable — “I do not have a policy of containment; I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon” — yet stands
by as Iran rapidly approaches nuclearization. “
Excuse me?
Let’s see- the Israeli government (other the Bidi), the Israeli Military, and the majority of the Israeli people have abandoned Netanyahus “red line”. He has no backing within his own country to launch these attacks, but refuses to back down.
So now he his DEMANDING that his “Allie”, the country that gives him huge sums of money and weapons, attack Iran on his behalf.
This has nothing to do with America, or Obama, abandoning Israel. It has everything to do with a far right israeli leader, isolated by his own country, trying a last ditch effort to enforce his own insane views.
His own military and people, as well as Obama, see things differently.
