"'If Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing that capability, the governor would respect that decision,' Romney's senior national security aide Dan Senor told reporters traveling with the candidate."
Since becoming president of the US, Obama has refused to set foot in Israel, notwithstanding visits to nearby Cairo, Riyadh and Istanbul, but not to be outdone by Romney, Obama has now leaked American contingency plans to attack Iran. As reported by Israel's left-leaning newspaper Haaretz (http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/u-s-presented-netanyahu-with-contingency-plan-for-iran-strike.premium-1.454235):
"The U.S. national security adviser has shared with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the United States' contingency plans for a possible attack on Iran.
According to a senior American official, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon briefed Netanyahu on the plans during Donilon's visit to Israel two weeks ago. According to the official, who requested anonymity, Netanyahu hosted Donilon at a three-hour dinner.
. . . .
According to the American official, Donilon shared information on U.S. weaponry and military capabilities for dealing with Iran's nuclear facilities, including those deep underground."
Bottom line: Secrets are not kept by Obama if they can be leaked to his advantage. The president desperately wants to be reelected and won't let anything stand in his way.
[The latest from Haaretz (http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=279284): "A senior Israeli official [probably Netanyahu himself, JG Caesarea] denied on Sunday a newspaper report that US President Barack Obama's national security adviser had briefed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on a US contingency plan to attack Iran should diplomacy fail to curb its nuclear program." Or in other words, Obama didn't share anything with Netanyahu, but his staff would is nevertheless trying to undermine Romney's Israel visit. Politics as usual.]
He's INCOMPETENT. And master manipulator. But all politicians are manipulators.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the world doesn't need yet another "internationalist." His critics attacking him for "socialism" are morons. The problem is that he's chosen the posture/demagoguery/policy of an "internationalist," or "world citizen."
Part of the world still hasn't recovered from previous internationalists (Stalin, for example). I am curious how the Poles will greet Romney, after Obama's promise to PUTIN to be "flexible" after the election and a couple of other things, such as his missile "flexibility." In the past, they didn't like such "flexibility."
