KRAUTHAMMER: ISRAEL WILL ATTACK IRAN IF THEY THINK OBAMA WILL WIN THE ELECTION

angelbaby 2012/07/15 04:56:38
Israel will attack Iran if they think President Barack Obama will win again in November, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer predicted Friday.

“If they think Obama will win the election, I think it‘s likely they will attack before because afterwards there’s no telling how Obama would punish Israel, and Israel would be vulnerable to any sanctions or other measures from the United States,” Krauthammer said Friday on Fox News.

Pointing out Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s words earlier this year that Israel would attack Iran in April, May or June, Krauthammer said the “clock is running.”

“I think they’re simply waiting to make sure that these sham negotiations are declared over rather than put on life support as a way to say all options have been tried, now we have to defend ourselves,” he said.

Iran on Saturday said it has a plan to block the Strait of Hormuz if it feels its interests are “seriously threatened,” and last week issued a new threat to “wipe” Israel “off the face of the earth” if the Jewish state attacks.

    Remember this quote from Obama’s book Audacity of Hope

    “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

    Obama's father came from a Muslim family, he attended a Muslim school as a child. Obama has no respect for Israel. Krauthammer understands how devious Obama is.

    It is clear that the christ shall come and deliver the wife(church) from the further pain. Isreal do not fear but trust the LORD ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST THE ONE WHO WAS IS AND IS TO COME. Do as to what a pastor does with the sheep protect them.( NOT BY YOUR WORK BUT GOD'S WORD).Have no fear CHRIST is at the doors of heaven ready to bring revenge over your enemies. GOD bless you Isreal and open your eyes !

    He as usual has the realistic view of a Strategic reality! To bad OBtole does not speak in the way other Presidents have!



    Where has our current President made a clear concise statement that an attack on Israel is viewed as an attack on the United States?



    As of now Iran is posturing as they really are not much of a military threat to anyone. An Iran with a Nuclear Tipped Ballistic Missile is!

    Krauthammer is right--probably. Israel can't afford to sit on her laurels and, by so doing, subject her future to the whim of the American electorate. Whether we agree with Israel on the matter of attacking Iran is irrelevant. Iran has threatened Israel's existence on MULTIPLE occasions, and now has the political and technical capacity to carry out those threats. From Israel's perspective, she'd be STUPID not to launch an attack.

    Good thing I'm not the PM of Israel, cuz I'd have told fuzzy Muzzie to kiss my kosher keister!

    No, no, I'm not going all Klingon on everybody. I'm still the same old hard-edge, non-violent libertarian I've always been, but the br*wn cl*wn has been rude as hell to Israel in both word and deed ever since he's been in office. I'M sick of it, so I'm pretty sure Israel's sick of it.

    YouBetcha!

    . . .Which is funny when you think about it. Most Libertarians are non-interventionists. I figure, though, that a nation has a right to self-defense as an extension of the individual's right to self defense. I take 'dictating' in any way whatsoever to Israel about how or when she decides to defend herself as an affront to MY right to self defense. This isn't a 'constitutionally guaranteed' right as much as it is a HUMAN right.

    I don't remember what the topic was, but I think I said something 'anti-corporate', and somebody pitched a fit and suggested I was a libtard troll (and/or that my breath stank and my mamma wore army boots :-)).

    Anyway, it's water under the bridge. I don't do grudges, and prolly wouldn't have remembered at all had you not said how awesome I was. See, it's all George Bush's fault! ROFLOL!

    I can not really blame them. It is a matter of self defense, and the US is no longer as strong an ally as we used to be. They have a right to protect themselves and Obama is certainly not going to give a helping hand, unless you consider telling Iran what Israel is up to

    .......... well, I do watch Fox News, MSNBC and CNN, I did not get this news story from Charles Krauthammer, but I know what He has reported on similar news footage, from what You posted here, " this would not surprise me a bit " .......... I respect the thinking government in Israel, " They take care of their Country and their People much better than We do here in the United States of America, and They will not fear any country that interferes with their long standing Jewish Heritage......... and, above all, The Jewish People are God's Chosen People........ the rest of Us should remember that.........

    ........... Yes, news certainly confirms that the time We are living in, is definitely, The End Times, more and more Bible Prophecy being fulfilled each and every day, I am a Christian first, but a person would be totally naive not to follow breaking news, and applying it along with what We learned over time by reading the Holy Bible, and walking in unison with God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit........ Persons living without God's Guidance are totally lost, I'm glad You're aware, as I am, Kim......... ;-)

    Krauthammer is one smart cookie, and he is spot on about 95% of the time. And it stands to reason if Israel knows our Israel-hating president is re-elected he will side against them.

    Charles Krauthhammer is a joke. His entire repertoire revolves around bagging on Obama. IT seems as though he, and Mitch McConnell, have the same, one track mind. Just look at this guy. No need to wonder why he has a piss poor outlook on life...
