Telling him that Americans, not right wing Israelis, get to decide if America should go to war against Iran.

Obama is all talk. Wait to see what he does at crunch time.

What he does at crunch time is say..Yes, send in the Seals. I'll take full responsibility.

Uh... wat?
For someone who makes 387529 threads about how we're building up for a war on Iran, don't you want someone who is all talk? Because the opposite would be a war with Iran?
And if he's all talk and he does something at crunch time, doesn't that mean he's not just all talk, considering he'd be doing something?
Make sense Bonk!

Obama will do exactly what Bush wouldve done but he will spin it another way. This is how he is. Words not actions mean more to liberals

When you're correcting everyone maybe you should check your own definitions. Words only mean something because they mean the same thing to everyone. If you're the odd man out... sorry, but you lose.

Quote:
Israel's prime minister arrived in the US determined to press Obama to agree to "red lines" in Iran's nuclear programme that would trigger an attack. For his part, the US president was looking for a guarantee from the Israeli leader that there would be no bombing without American approval.
Netanyahu was confident. At his back was the US's most influential pro-Israel lobby group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac), which had been instrumental in whipping up demands in Congress for stronger sanctions against Iran and resolutions that looked mighty close to authorisations for war.
The Republican presidential candidates were snapping at Obama's heels, accusing him of weakness and indecision over Tehran, and of not being supportive enough of Israel.
Netanyahu made an emotional appeal in his speech to Aipac's annual conference, the reason the Israeli leader was in town. He invoked the Holocaust and the betrayal of Europe's Jews by the Allies' refusal to bomb Auschwitz.
At the White House, Netanyahu presented Obama with a copy of the Book of Esther which relates the story, celebrated in this week's holiday of Purim, of a 5th-century plot to destroy the Jews of Persia, now Iran.
It is, Netanyahu said, the account of "a Persian anti-Semite [who] tried to annihilate the Jewish people". In the end, it is the Persians who are slaughtered.
The message wasn't hard to deconstruct. But Obama wasn't having it.
The president sought to reassure the Israelis that he would not compromise with Iran on a nuclear weapon. There would be no policy of containment, he said. That was important to Israel along with Obama's firm restatement of the military option being on the table.
But beyond that, the president put a marker down that his assessment is that war is a final and relatively distant option for the US, and that an Israeli attack before that is against American interests.

Since all his mentors hate Jews I'm surprised he even codes his antisemitism.
