"So what's the justification for Obama's inflammatory and seemingly baseless claim on national television that Iran is "pursuing a nuclear weapon that could potentially trigger a nuclear arms race" when the consensus of American intelligence agencies is that they are not doing so?"

There are a number of arguments that claim that since the ability to produce the materials needed for nuclear power production is the same ability that allows one to make nuclear weapons, once Iran has the ability to have nuclear power, it has a bomb. The Iranians have said and the UN has verified that they are developing the infrastructure to make nuclear power materials. Obama is adopting this argument and it is that argument that is justifying his belligerance.

The fact that the non-proliferation treaty grants countries the right to nuclear power and the ability to make its own nuclear power materials, in exchange for agreeing to not make nuclear weapons, is studiously obsfucated.

Obama cannot be too clear about his argument to strangle and /or attack Iran without revealing his underlying attempt to break the NPT.

Wow, that's a tough one. Let's see...

Because Obama is owned by pro-Israel Jews.

Because most of Obama's appointments are Zionists (including his Chief of Staff, the son of a Jewish Zionist Terrorist.)

Because pro-Israel Jews run America's Foreign Policy.

Because pro-Israel Jews own our media, and our Congress, and destroy those who get in the way of their Israel-first agenda (see President Jimmy Carter.)

Next question.

Give it up dude. I don't worship Glenn. But I have a ton of respect for him based on his outstanding writing. The idea that he is racist because he is attacking Obama is laughable. Go troll somewhere else.

Maybe Obama doesn't want to signal an end to specific covert actions? The US appears to have started taking "covert industrial espionage" against Iran's nuclear program a long time ago. Perhaps Obama is sending the signal to our friends in Israel (friends that we have shared details of this espionage program with) that the program will continue? After all, the main argument for the program is the "Iran will have a nuke soon" lie, and in order for that lie to stick, the NIE must be discarded in favor of intel from the likes of Mossad.

Report: U.S. rejected Israeli plea to attack Iran

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush rejected several Israeli requests last year for weapons and permission for a potential airstrike inside Iran, the author of an investigative report told CNN.

Israel approached the White House in early 2008 with three requests for an attack on Iran's main nuclear complex, said New York Times reporter David Sanger. His article appears in the newspaper on Sunday.

According to Sanger, Israel wanted specialized bunker-busting bombs, equipment to help refuel planes making flights into Iran and permission to fly over Iraq to reach the major nuclear complex at Natanz, the site of Iran's only known uranium enrichment plant.

The White House "deflected" the first two requests and denied the last, Sanger said.

"They feared that if it appeared that the United States had helped Israel strike Iran, using Iraqi airspace, that the result in Iraq could be the expulsion of the American troops (from Iraq)," he said.

Bush, instead, persuaded Israeli officials to not proceed with the attack by sharing with them some details of covert U.S. operations aimed at sabotaging Iran's nuclear ambitions, Sanger said.

The ongoing operations are designed to undermine Iran's ability to produce weapons-grade fuel and designs it needs to produce a workable nuclear weapon, the newspaper said.

"We know that the U.S. has been trying to conduct covert industrial espionage, if you will, against Iran's nuclear program for many years," said CNN's Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr. "[They have been] going to the suppliers, going other places; trying to make sure that things get messed up, if you will; that parts may not be what they should be; that certain processes may not work right. Anything that they can do to jam the work to delay the program."

Sanger said he based his report on conversations with intelligence officials, none of whom would speak on the record because of the topic's sensitivity.

"I suspect the Bush administration probably isn't going to comment very much on the details of this story, given the nature of this kind of intelligence operation and the sensitivity of the relationship with Israel," he said.

Sanger said President-elect Barack Obama, who said during the campaign he wants to engage in dialogue with Iran, now inherits the operation.

I wonder how much money is going down this black hole?

Wow, that's a tough one. Let's see...

Because Obama is owned by pro-Israel Jews.

Pro-Israel Jews who believe in negotiating with Iran?

Because most of Obama's appointments are Zionists (including his Chief of Staff, the son of a Jewish Zionist Terrorist.)

By "Zionist," do you mean Jew (in which case your claim is obviously false and stupid), or do you mean "people who believe in a two-state solution where Israel continues to exist as a state in the Middle East?)

Because pro-Israel Jews run America's Foreign Policy.

Any explanation as to why Israel's request to fly over Iraq to bomb Iran was denied?

Because pro-Israel Jews own our media, and our Congress, and destroy those who get in the way of their Israel-first agenda (see President Jimmy Carter.)

Has Jimmy Carter been "destroyed"? Last I saw him -- before his visit this week to the Oval Office -- he was on MSNBC hawking his new book and looked quite well.

You're an idiot.

"All civilians living in Gaza are collectively guilty for Kassam attacks on Sderot, former Sephardi chief rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu has written in a letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Eliyahu ruled that there was absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians during a potential massive military offensive on Gaza aimed at stopping the rocket launchings."

That just proves it. Right there. Judiasm is a religion of violence and hate. Judaism has no problem with killing innocent civilians. It's right there in black and white. Judaism is a religion of hate and the killing of innocents.

This is absoluitely appalling and disgusting.
