Israel represents a staunch ally and US interests in the middle east are cemented to it's security. We must understand the concerns of the Israeli Gov and people as Iran continues at break neck speed to develop a nuclear weapon for the purpose of using it on Israel (A stated Iranian purpose). While President Obama keeps trying to calm concerns of the Israeli PM that if they simply give sanctions a chance then Iran would cooperate with the UN and US by opening it's nuclear program for inspection and put a halt to their nuclear ambitions.
The mere fact that after all the Iranian gov has done to date.. is disregarded by the President is almost beyond belief. How naive can President Obama be or is his hesitation to support our Israeli allies by design? How can you witness the complete lack of respect for President Obama by the Iranians as anything other than the fact that they consider him a weak president and figure they can do whatever they want without fear that they will be attack by the US do to the apparent hesitation they see in US foreign policy toward them.
The Israeli PM has noticed the US resistance to removing the Iranian nuclear threat with military action. The PM told the US that Israel would not tell the US when or if they will attack Iran .. do to the real lack of trust on their part towards the US and a President that might make such plans public knowledge to stop such unilateral action.
The real question is where are we going to leave our ally.. with the possibility of Iran attacking with nuclear weapons? Should we believe the President and leave Israel's security and US interests to chance? Or should we support Israel with the full might of the US military? Though we are currently fighting terrorism on several fronts..we must remain committed to supporting our allies and by extension looking out for US interests in the region.
