Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reported to be planning a war against Iran sometime in the next two months, again slammed the international community for not having threatened Iran more often, saying that it was time for the world to set a “clear red line.”
“Iran does not see international resolve to stop its nuclear program,” Netanyahu insisted, in what officials are saying is a sign of his growing impatience with the current state of regular threats and sanctions but no actual attacks.
Netanyahu reportedly reiterated to his cabinet that he believes sanctions have “failed,” and reportedly got into a shouting match with US Ambassador Dan Shapiro last week, lashing him for not having attacked Iran already.
Netanyahu was said to be furious with Shapiro, and the US in general, saying he was outraged that the Obama Administration had made efforts to talk him out of attacking Iran instead of focusing on threatening Iran. He is said to have told Shapiro that “time has run out” for diplomacy.
Throw that dog a bone. Let him gnaw on it to keep him quiet. Good dog, Boobi.
Problem is the dog has rabies and the illness has reached a terminal stage. Thus, the dog should be sacrificed.
Thats all that can be done sacrifice the dog and all other like him,then maybe the world will be more peacefull.I would just say peaceful,but unless we evolve into more inteligent beings we will not ever see tottal peace.I do think one day the world may have peace after WW3 and their is no one left to hurt others.
A lot of this "narrative" does not make sense for various reasons. If Obama didn't want Israel to strike Iran, he shouldn't have supplied them with the "bunker busters" and associated aircraft necessary to make such a strike "feasible"/"credible" (which the George W. Bush Administration refused to do BTW…). It's clear that Netanyahu has essentially no respect for Obama…and will screw him like it was "prom night" if he has the opportunity to do so… I'm not going to go into all of that now, and 'hash out' what happened (in my perspective) other than to say that: if the Obama Administration had any "sense", and was truely 'concerned; about Israel possibly acting on their own on this, 'we" would not be where 'we' are today with this "situation"….
It seems to me, however, that Israel, along with the US, made poor calculations with respect to Syria… What may have been a situation where Syria would have essentially done nothing of material substance in 'retaliation' to an airstrike on Iran 'may' have changed into something else entirely for various reasons…which would take a lot of time to explain…
The "Assad 'situation'" was something unanticipated, I'm sure, by the US and Israel (in terms of how it has played out) and may actually prevent an Israeli airstrike on Iran anytime in the near future…
I' m sure most will have no clue about what I'm talking about and disagree entirely, but I'll briefly 'xplain' the "situation" in easy terms:
When officials in the US and Israel make allusions to a possible "regional war",….they are not referencing a "grassroots movement" of the 'average Joe' on the street "Muslim" in the surrounding Nations bordering Israel taking up arms against Israel because their imagined "brother in arms" Islamic Republic of Iran' has been hit… This is not of serious "concern" and what is referred to as a possible "regional war"… This fear of a "regional war" means something else entirely, and something more specific, that includes possible "state" and "organizational" actors….one, I'm certain (perhaps of most concern) being Syria (which Israel is technically still 'at War' with)….
Who else, exactly, would participate in a 'serious' way in some sort of imagined "regional War" against Israel if Israel dropped 'bunker busters' on Iran???
Some may view this as a "crazy conspiracy theory"; however, I''m not entirely sure what else would be the almighty "regional War" alluded to of 'great concern' by the "experts"… Does someone have an alternative "explanation"?
The region Planet Earth!
Thats why they call it Armageddon!
Who 'runs' the world ? Netanyahu apparently believes it is the US and it is the US he is goading. Then the question becomes: Who runs the US ? That is the secret 'science' of 'the hidden hand' of politics.
I don't disagree with what you said, but I don't understand what your explanation is… Sunni Arabs (who run all the countries in the Middle East except Syria – for now -and Iraq) have no love for Iran, are not their 'brothers in arms', and will not defend them is they're attacked. Is that what you're saying?
It is time to tell Netanyahu that he can do as he wishes regarding Iran but to count us out–no cash, no arms, no air strikes, no boots on the ground.
Boom, Boom Bibi's continually shouting "wolf" is almost tragic. With some claim that Israel already has a stockpile of nuclear war heads and does not abide by UN laws/regulations he is "demanding" a Red Line on Iran.
The question then can be asked as to whether he has the chutzpah to do anything about it or trying to incite the US to do it for him?
It ie time for the World to set "a clear red line" allright. "A clear red line" against prementive military attacks made upon other countries – made by crazed ruling cabals for purposes of land and/or resource theft, religious nonsense, or just outpourings of jingoistic hatred. Why else did we fight WWII? Netanyahou is a dangerous, evil person, and the only reason America goes along with his evil is because we have become too deeply corrupt to recognize him as evil.
Gen. Dempsey said it loud and clear…and the US Administration (Obama) needs to stand at the podium in front of a large audience and state loudly and clearly that despite what Netanyahoo says, the Iranians are not developing a nuclear weapons program – at least until the Israelis attack them. Say it in such a way that even the Israelis will understand that Bibi and Ehud and their followers are trying to snooker the Israeli people (and the US people) into a war that has no justifiable basis in reality.
And Obama cannot wait until after the election to do this…it needs to be done now…before Netanyahoo starts a war that will quickly escalate out of control and well, we've all read about the possible repercussions of such a war.
The image that comes to mind when reading US media in regards to Iran is that of a dangerous homeless man grimacing madly at a small child as he rattles off a list imaginary wrongs the small child has done to him while waving a machete around in the child's face- poised to strike.
US and Israel are run by insane evil people with lots of blood on their hands- and they would rather go "all in" than take one step back. They have gone to far to stop now and they know it- they are criminals- and they know that everyone knows it. But they will sooner burn this mother down to the ground than admit to wrong- cause to admit to just one- would start an avalanche of truth- and they can't have that.
The elites do not want to change anything- not their notions of "economic growth"- not the idiotic gizmo centric economy- not the corruption ridden oligarch controlled central financial system- not the national social military industrial parasite economy . . . they would rather kill half the population of the Earth in a series of wars and man caused calamities than face up to the challenge of change and atonement for their crimes.
And when people actually do finally "get it"- the blame nets cast are going to be broad and wide- and quite indiscriminate and subjective- as all revolutionary terror's are . . .
. . . all in all- the future is quite grim.

He seems to have lost his wits, and rather than making thought-out, responsible decisions, he is creating the sense of an impending war.”

Nettie's "red line" is one that Israel has already crossed 200-300 times, and one that Iran, according to the American consensus intelligence estimates, doesn't even have in sight.
Just say no to war……….. We won't allow you to use our equipment in an illegal war… If we see an attack force we will "prevent" it…from accomplishing it's goal…
From when "the most rasist regime and this fanatic especialy" can demand anything? Did not suffering of Palestine people and population in ME expose "Satanic Zionism" enough? Could somebody shut the mouth to this warmonger? Peter czech
Netanyahoo should go in with a red can of spray and paint the line himself.
Nuttyahoo doesn't have the guts to do that.
Zionist regime is so arrogant. In the past it waged covertly or sponsored wars of aggression…now they openly call for WW3. Could somebody shut the mouth to this warmonger and criminal!!! peter czech
Demands?
