With Barack Obama, politics always trumps national security.
Obama told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to strike Iran until after the November election.
It may interfere with his campaign.

White House tells Sunday Times Obama pressed Netanyahu to postpone Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities until after November, adding president ‘might visit Israel in summer’
Israel will only strike Iranian nuclear facilities in September or after the United States presidential elections in November, a White House official told the British Sunday Times newspaper after a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama last week.
According to the report, Obama has taken Israel’s warnings about a possible strike in Iran very seriously. The Washington source added that the president “might visit in the summer to reassure the Israelis that the US commitment to defend Israel is unshakable and thus thwart a possible autumn attack.”
There is nothing more pathetic than a wimp acting tough; fire when ready, Bibi.
Put this and the aftermath on the next administration…nice strategy Mr Obama…
I think we should stay out of it. The Iranians are “downwind” and they know it. I think all this saber rattling is just Israel trying to get us to be mercenaries AGAIN! Where are the “weapons of mass destruction”? Do we have any more proof than the last time???
