Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Planes

[Creech]

I guess you never heard of the international fellowship of Christians and Jews or that many conservative evangelical Christians support Israel. Many more Christians support Israel then you might think. I will always support Israel over America.

Would you unconditionally support any and every action Israel makes?

 

[Btodd]

I couldn't agree with you more. Obama is a enemy of America and traitor to our allies. What type of "friend" would threaten you for defending your own country.

Other than a foreign newspaper that makes this claim by citing an 'unnamed source', what would possibly make you think he did? This is ridiculous.

If something scratches your itching ears, that's all the more reason to critically examine the claim. So far, we have the equivalent of a National Enquirer scandal, and you're lapping it up.

I will support Israel always. But not every action just like you support a president of a country, you may not support every action but you do support him. Another way I can put this almost like you in the army you probably won't agree every call of your commanding officer, but you will support the flag that your fighting in and support it.

Here are a few sites for you.

The only one of those sources that even mentions this claim about shooting down Israeli planes cites the same Kuwait newspaper that used an 'unnamed source' in the first place. So, the first source used an unnamed source, and the second source just cited the first source.

Israel is our commanding officer?

Israel did it to Iraq and to Syria and the results were all positive.

A *completely* different kettle of fish. Iran is vastly more powerful and better organised than Iraq or Syria, and its theocratic government actually has broad support, unlike Saddam or Assad.

I will never understand why so many Americans concern themselves so much with the affairs of another nation (Israel).

The same thing we used to hear about Iraq

 

[Supreme]

Really? Who did you hear that from? Whoever it was, their information was pretty inaccurate. No news source I ever read said such a thing.

Not surprising since you weren't born when Israel bombed Osarik and at best you were an infant when we fought Iraq in the Gulf War and Iraq's might was being touted by the liberal media

"...a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack."

Troubling if true. Very troubling indeed. It would explain Obama's objection to Netanyahu's upcoming address to Congress though

So he (if this report quoting another report that supposedly quotes an "unnamed source" is correct - which I doubt) stopped a war between Israel and Iran via Israel's aggressions. Not seeing what's wrong with that.....

 

[Brigid48]

I was not aware that Iran had developed nuclear weapons.

It hasn't, of course, but what better way to stir up people than wild and rabid fearmongering?

Heck, it hasn't even been SEEKING such weapons in anything other than the fevered minds of RW loons who want a war with Iran and have wanted one for decades, and the highest leader and religious authority in their country has put an outright fatwa against the owning, manufacture, purchase and use of nuclear weapons.

Haven't they signed that international contract? The one where you ratify that you won't use nuclear weapons and get to use civilian nuclear technology?

It's called short sightedness, not seeing the long term effects of allowing Iran to progress in their nuclear endeavors

 

[JustOneWay]

You honestly think a link to one paper who is citing an article in a second paper, said article of which is based on "unnamed" sources, is reliable, don't you? Sad.

Some would believe Beelzebub himself as long as it was something that could be used to attack Obama.

Ever notice that you never see Obama and Beelzebub in the same room at the same time?

 

[RelativeBearing]

There's very little positive that Obama has done while president. He has broken virtually every promise he made, the promise to be the most open government among them. He has prosecuted more whistle blowers on criminal government activity than any other president. If, after illegally and immorally involving the US militarily in multiple nations he has finally taken action to curb ongoing criminal activity by the Israeli government then he has finally done something of lasting value.

Those who support illegal and immoral activity by Israel do no one any favors, least of all God, and certainly not Israel and its citizens.

Payback for the USS Liberty?

 

[MachZer0]

Payback for the USS Liberty?

That was mentioned by Zbigniew Brzezinski who allegedly advised Obama to shoot the planes down:

“We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’"
