Obama Warns Israel: No Surprise Attacks on Iran
U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the U.S. with an Israeli military operation against Iran. The message was conveyed by a senior American official who met in Israel with Netanyahu, ministers and other senior officials. Earlier, Netanyahu's envoy visited Washington and met with National Security Adviser James Jones and with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and discussed the dialogue Obama has initiated with Tehran.

Bibi realizes that this ignorant neophite that was elected into office is just something to be tolerated until we can get a competent adult back into office who will understand, like Bush did, that there are evel people int he world who wish us harm and Israel is on the front line of that conflict. Bibi will not put the placating this Chicago "community organizer" at the expense of the safety of the Israeli people.

The man has lost his ever loving mind...what right does he have to warn Israel of anything???I put my money on Netanyahu ....
Chris
The Israelis are going to do as they please, They'd be far more likley to listen to Bush than Mr. goodbar, but in the long run, they will act in the best interest of themselfs.

Basically what is being said by President Obama ,,as I understand it,,, is that the U.S. does not want to be caught off guard by any actions Israel may take. This I can understand as what ever they choose to do will have an effect on us.
Prime Minister Netanyahu is a leader. Unlike our leader ,this man's biography is very impressive ... He has the experience and courage needed to be a leader. I heard him speak ,(,and I'm sorry I can not remember it it was before our Congress or if it was at the U.N.) right after 9/11 and he was riveting ...Obama would do well to listen to this man and not just talk. Netanyahu has been dealing with international problems ,,especially with Iran for many, many years.

OBAMA wants to DEFY the LIVING WORD of THE ONLY LIVING GOD as concerns ISRAEL, and now today, "OBAMA SWAYS CONGRESSMAN" TO NOT RUN IN NEW YORK?! This form of Leadership is WRONG!
GROUND ZERO - DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS OF CONGRESS!
YOU READY TO CLEANSE THE WHITE HOUSE OF ALL EVIL CHAOS, YET?
"WE, THE PEOPLE," - whose money you have stolen - REQUIRE IT OF YOU.
WILL YOU RISE UP, AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY, OR ARE WE GOING DOWN IN FLAMES?
WILL YOU TAKE OBAMA'S "POLITICAL SUICIDE ATTACK" HEAD-ON WITH YOUR OWN "JETS" - EJECT YOURSELVES from THE COCK-PIT OF CONGRESS, AND SAVE OUR COUNTRY?
"RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH A NATION; BUT SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE." [Proverbs 14:34]

remember to vote 2010-2012 , time to clean-house !
take back AMERICA ! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. !
WE OUR A NATION UNDER GOD ! BELIVE IT !

In 2012 it will be too late !!
By than he will stack the supreme court with liberal judges who will ignore the "bill of rights". And he will get full control over the election process. With acorn's help he will get overwhelming votes (Even dead People)
His goal is to be America's hugo chavez and be leader for life. If the people rise-up they will be violently surpressed
FreedomAtStake
Mr. Obama does not understand the Middle East. He also is fundamentally incapable of keeping America safe. This is so predicatble. The Iranians have obviously perceived our weakness and Obama's bluff. They've probably told Obama if Isreal does anyting to us, we'll [Iran] blow up some ships in the Straits of Hormuz and make oil $200 a barrel and bring the US to it's knees. Therefore, you [Mr. Obama] tell Isreal to stand down. Mr. Obama is a puppet in the Midlle East. Go Isreal...Get the job done now!

TALK , TALK , TALK & MORE TALK ! WOW ! IRAN IS JUST GOING TO

blood is thicker than water, that's all i can say.

if taken in the same context as all of obama's blunders....ahhh i mean decisions , he want's to give iran advanced warning
MT Rob
The president knows that he is not going to do jack to Isreal if they surprise attack to protect their nation. He is just looking for some kind of cover to show he is engaged. Smoke and Mirrors as it were.
Anonymous2
my bet is on ben
oldcavscout
I feel safe in saying Isreal will look out for their own interests. Unlike Obama they are not afraid of unilateral action to protect their own lives.
Don DeVille
Are you kidding me? Benjamin Netanyahu knows he's dealing with a "cloaked" muslim. He isn't about to listen to Hussein. One thing the nation of Israel is not is appeasing to their enemies, like some one we know.
Realwriter24
So obama expects Israel to not defend itself when its very existence is at stake because he wants to go "to the table" with Iran----but hey, we "don't have a timetable yet"...........Are you kidding me????
Vern
I am an American first, but let me tell you Israel is protected by the God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob. I would not go against Israel for nothing. I will take Israel anyday. You have a right to exist. Screw you Obama, you arrogant man. How dare you to tell them no suprize attacks. You act like your the world president and God himself. I will continue to be a Bible bumper till Jesus returns or I die first. Whichever comes first.

Israel has a right too DEFEND. Just Because America ignores its border dangers does not mean Israel needs to play into the hands of Satan.

I hope that Israel does attack. When the US does something, we tell the world then do it but when Israel does something, they do it and then tell the world. Now tell me who has the upper hand?
T-Rex
God will take care of Israel. Let not your heart be troubled.
Iran can bring it on and Israel will do the job. If you want to know what's going to happen read your Bible. It's all right there. Watch for the man who wants a 7 year peace pact and who speaks very eloquently and millions follow after him because he seems to have all the answers....no, not obama, be he's close.
If you know Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, you don't have to worry about all the crazy things that are happening. You will be on the first load out of
here, when the trumpet sounds....the Rapture of the church and I don't mean the catholic church. Wake Up folks....it's just about time.

Many people think president hussein is the anti-christ !
He will do nothing to harm his muslim brothers.
Iran must be protected !!!!!!

"No surprise attacks on Iran" -- or else what? He will maybe have Hillary write a nasty note?

Now you and the world know this man is no friend to Israel or America.This libreal president will be the death of us all.

Hello ISRAEL. We love your country. Ignore what our ignorant, muslim President told you. You are a Sovereign Nation. Protect yourselves. We might need you to protect us. Blow the fruitcake Iranian government to where ever their hell is.

Hey Israel, don't listen to Obama do what you want. If you listen to Obama there will be no more Israel, just like what he is doing to the United States.

Who does he think he is, now he's not just showing how arrogant he really is he's proving it. OB will have GOD to answer to then he will see who's in control.

Bo's an idiot. Stick with Netanyahu. Remember, "I will bless them that bless you, curse them that curse you". God knows what He's doing, Bo don't.
Oh come on!
Isn't Obama busy enough running our country into the ground? Leave Israel alone!
sassytxn
so now O thinks he can tell another country what to do, the Isreali nation has the right to defend itself against terrorism. GO ISREAL!
JW
obama wants to protect iran. He does not want any of his muslim brothers harmed.

Don't think it will go far with Netanyahu. Sometimes I think if I was an Israeli leader, I would consider an attack on DC.

Trying again cause my first go failed to load. Former reconissance commando, elder brother KIA in 1976, I don't feature him taking any s***

obama can't control pelosi, he'd better think again, thats god country land it won't be overtaken by anyone. beter get some backbone and start defending it.
BOSMAN
He tells Israel not to bomb Iran, WHAT HAS HE TOLD IRAN?
As far as I'm concerned, If there was ever an incentive for Israel to BOMB THE HELL out of Iran, THIS IS IT! Mr. President, Israelis don't line up any longer waiting to be LEAD to their demise. That's what they would be doing, if they listened to you!
Jocelyn
He has told Iran that we are a bad country and hes sorry for all the bad things we did to them. I think hes a bad President and I am sorry he is in the office. I want Israel to defend itself like we would with or with out the presidents ok

He's kissing A-jad's arse like Chavez and the Saudi king. You cannot trust Bo.

If I was Netanyahu, I would tell Obama to kiss my ass and bomb the hell out of Irans nuclear sites and do my best to get that sorry POS president of theirs in the process.
Cowgirl81
Of all the gall. Netanyahu you do what you need to do to protect your own country. Please don't sell your country down the tubes like we are being sold. We seem to have someone in office that is more interested in playing nice to radical islamic countries. A good portion of this county have valued Israel as our ally and want to keep it that way. We are determined to change the makeup of the house and senate in 2010 and reverse a lot of this mess the democrats are creating.
backtobasicsplease
And, Mr. Netanyahu, if you get tired of running Israel, please consider coming back here and reinstating your natural born citizenship. We could use you for OUR president. Then you could do it right for both our countries. Would that be great or what?
D.W.
Sounds like Obama is being arrogant and dismissive! Didn’t he run around the world apologizing for that?
backtobasicsplease
Arrogant and dismissive? Obama? No way--He was talking about us--the American people.
duffer
not for himself........for us

"Hey Bibi, (Netanyahu), I'm not sure what this guys sayin', if he's sayin' we talk to the bastards for a couple of months then you bomb, fine. If he's sayin' you don't ever get to overfly Iraq to get to the bastards keep on diggin' the tunnel, your boys have got to get to them some how."
tired old steelworker
Israel doesen't trust the White house anymore than I do. Why in the world would you warn the Iranians. I'd "inform" them one nanosecond before Israeli bombers crossed Iranian air space.
steve m
obama needs to have advance knowledge of any attacks Israel has towards Iran so he can forward the info to his muslim brothers.
Anoymouse
I don't understand how Obama can be a Muslim and sit in a church for 20 years. He also drinks and smokes. You people who keep calling him a Muslim are the reason more and more people think conservatives are crazy.
