Does it make sense for Obama to say he will not support Isreal if they attack Iran?

No.

But as senseless as that would be I could understand why Obama would say that. He's a sycophant of Islam and he lacks Christian Ideals, and he does not like Israel. Altogether that makes more sense in understanding why Obama would leave Israel holding the bag. But I can't see that man backing up Israel any more than I can see "Santa Claus" coming down the chimney ever December 25.

Attacking Iran would have be a terrible decision (less to Israel than to everybody else). Allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons is unpleasant but looks better in comparison. Obama should privately make it clear to the Israelis that he would not follow them in such a foolish endeavor but publicly maintain the "all options are on the table" line as a deterrent to the Iranians. Assuming he realizes the foolishness of bombing Iran, he has still has to bluff that he'd do it.

Israeli delivery Minister Shaul Mofaz became quoted on Friday in an Israeli newspaper affirming that an attack on Iran seems "unavoidable". Israel has already attacked Iran on various activities at the moment, and they seem probable to do it formerly Bush leaves workplace. Iran has requested the UN safe practices council for intervention, and it feels like this can both carry about a significant warfare, or with Israel backing off. gas expenditures? There are experts contained in the inventory change who're already hedging bets that it's going to hit $2 hundred/barrel formerly the top of the year. If there's a warfare, all bets are off on the cost of oil, and that i'm probable to be called as a lot as wrestle one or both one in all those lunatic international places. Edit: If a rustic should be attacked for crimes adverse to humanity and clandestine nuclear arsenals - that usa ought to easily be Israel? start up with UN sanctions adverse to Israel, then if that would not artwork, the completed international ought to bomb the hell out of them. they quite are the huge butt sore on the judgment of proper and incorrect of mankind.

The US can provide all the support that Israel may require. But, not necessarily troops, since the majority of Americans, do not support engaging in another war.

Support is one thing. Getting engaged in another war is another.

Yes, we can support Israel with weapons and such, but keep our troops out of it. Israel is perfectly capable of handling her own affairs.

And the universal response at the Puzzle Palace was

"Come on Down, Boy"

No it doesn't make sense.

Iran has threatened us and been our enemy for a long time & Israel has been our friend for a long time.

We need to support Israel.

P

in such situation it is better some are left unsaid ( silence ) why make noise when silence says more than that

I'd rather leave them "guessing".... The (un-known) is always a

good Military Tactic....
