Israel delivers ultimatum to Barack Obama on Iran's nuclear plans

Two years ago, Barack Obama reportedly left Benjamin Netanyahu to kick his heels in a White House anteroom, a snub delivered to show the president's irritation over Israel's settlement policy in the West Bank. In May, the Israeli prime minister struck back, publicly scolding his purse-lipped host for the borders he proposed of a future Palestinian state.

When the two men meet in Washington on Monday, Mr Obama will find his guest once more at his most combative. But this time, perhaps as never before, it is the Israeli who has the upper hand.

Exuding confidence, Mr Netanyahu effectively brings with him an ultimatum, demanding that unless the president makes a firm pledge to use US military force to prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear bomb, Israelmay well take matters into its own hands within months.

The threat is not an idle one. According to sources close to the Israeli security establishment, military planners have concluded that never before has the timing for a unilateral military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities been so auspicious.

Netanyahu ultimatum

by Simorgh5555 on Sun Mar 04, 2012 06:28 AM PST

Obama should call Netanyahu's bluff and tell him he is welcome to strike at the Islamic Terror Regime. For all who accuse Israel of using the USA to fight its war for her at the expense of American lives and taxpapyer's money then let Israel fight her own war for a change. Aren't you always complaining about Israel receiving billions of US tax payers revenue for military assistance then let the Israelis do somethign with it. The American militry overstretched and with a struggling economy it can't afford a strike on the IR Terror Regime. Then better let the Israelis do it. The Israelis have had underhand dealings with the IR Terror Regime for years and now its time they make amends for their policy of covert support to the IR. Let Israel use its targets and destroy the Basij and Sepah units and by doing so Netanyahu will be doing every one a favour.
