Obama's atomic umbrella: U.S. nuclear strike if Iran nukes Israel
Haaretz
11-Dec-2008 (8 comments)

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's administration will offer Israel a "nuclear umbrella" against the threat of a nuclear attack by Iran, a well-placed American source said earlier this week. The source, who is close to the new administration, said the U.S. will declare that an attack on Israel by Tehran would result in a devastating U.S. nuclear response against Iran.

Happy Now?

This is not good. All efforts of the Americans must instead be focused on preventing the Iranian regime to get the bomb in the first place, and that is not going to be achieved by futile talk with a fascist ideological system hell bent on acquiring it. As I have repeatedly said, it will only increase the chance of a tragic nuclear war. All those of you who voted for Obama because you thought he would prevent a war by talking to the Mullahs, are you happy now?

Islamist "We" dream

by Fred on Fri Dec 12, 2008 03:47 AM PST

Islamist “we” says: "We are not happy. We will continue to fight until Middle East is free of all nuclear weapons, or alternatively, Iran also has 200 nukes!”Whatever happened to the “peaceful” application of nuke that the Islamists claimed they couldn’t live without? Weren’t they saying nuke weapon is religiously prohibited and even their boss issued a decree saying so? Now they are dreaming of 200 Islamist nukes? Dream on!

LOL - who is going to protect the world from zionists?

Who is going to protect the world from the zionists? Haven't we had enough? The world banking system and the world economy is completely destroyed by these guys. Who is going to protect the poor around the world who got screwed by the jewish commodity speculators. On top of the ruining the banking system, they pushed the price of oil as well as all consumable commodities to a level that has caused global suffering.

Who will protect us?

No, not happy

it will only increase the chance of a tragic nuclear war
Given that Israel has the nuclear weapons in the Middle East, what's more correct to say is that it will increase the chance of an Israeli perpetrated crime against humanity.

First of all, if a religious-based apartheid criminal government in the region can have nuclear weapons, why not Iran too?

Second, in no way is this fair and impartial. What will Obama do if Israel attacks Iran? That's the question. As long as US only wants to "protect" one side giving free hand to the other, it will continue to create hostility and resentment.

We are not happy. We will continue to fight until Middle East is free of all nuclear weapons, or alternatively, Iran also has 200 nukes!

my lady, I am happy that you are not happy!

Easy Zion Khanoom, even the most extremist and reactinary elements of IRI are not as lunatic as Israeli/AIPAC extremists. I hope U.S one day manages to put a leash on Israeli EXTREMISTS and strengthens moderate Israeli/pro Israelis such as George Soros.

Yes, I'm happy and I'm glad you're not.

The Zionistas have clearly lost their jihad to push the US to attack Iran ostensibly to prevent Iran to get "the bomb". The real reason behind the Zionists' agitations to wage war against Iran to the last American  soldier is not safety and security for the peoples of the region, but to maintain Israel's dangerous nuclear arsenal which is the main threat to the security of the region. It is a fact that Iran does not have "the bomb". Iran's defense policy, which was publicly announced by Rafanjani when he was Iran's president, has been to be "a screwdriver away" from nuclear bombs. Israel as an occupation regime and the only Apartheid regime in the world, is in no position to demand others not to consider nuclear weapons to defend themselves, while it sits on top of more than 200 warheads targetting EVERY major population center in the Middle East and beyond, while it is issuing military threats against Iran daily. Obama knows by succumbing to the Zionists' blackmail he will jeopardise the US national interests so the terrorist state of Israel can continue its land grab, occupation and its abhorrent Apartheid regime. Fortunately the American people have awakened and they are determined to rescue the American national interests and its foreign policy in the ME from the Judeo-Nazis who have infested the American politics.
