this president makes me sick to my stomach what a joke

Interseting that sop many Republican trolls are turning up all of the sudden in this ticker. Funny you folks feel the need to try influencing CNN.

On to the point tho. Joe spoke the truth as he so offten does. BUT, you folks need to understand that Israel does indeed need our blessing if they wished to inniciate a war by attacking Iran. Israel is strong thanks to our training their armies and arming them. They might indeed take Iran fairly easily if they did decide to attack first. BUT,they would be left weakened and their other enimies in the mid east would most certainly take advantage of that. As such, they would absolutly NEED our blessing and support. And if they did indeed attack unprovoked, they would likely lose much of our support. They know this. We know this.

And just one more thing. WAR is mankinds ugliest practice. Men who run to war are fools. Men who embrace war quickly are children. Most of you fools who call so quickly for war likely never fought and likely wouldn't have to if a draft were in place.

We get it, your all "tough guys". Your collective manliness is amazing to behold and feared by all.

Bravo.

Fools.

Iran would mop the floor with isreal. Our military is already stretched too thin as it is. Go ahead isreal. See what happens to you after you strike first.

Did any of you Obama haters read this story?

First of all, never in the article did Obama use the term green light, it was a term the interviewer made up and asked if Obama was giving Israel a "green light" to pre-emptively attack Iran.

What was he supposed to say... "sure"? Furthermore, he then prefaced it by saying...
"I think Vice President Biden stated a categorical fact, which is we can't dictate to other countries what their security interests are. "

So all you blowhards that read the headline and spit up a comment that says "why does Obama think Israel needs our permission?" .... that is not even close to what Obama is saying.

What he is saying, however, is that he doesn't condone an offensive attack on Iran without trying diplomatic methods. And it absolutely baffles and saddens me that plenty of people on this tread actually disagree with that.

It is amazing what years of war-hungry leadership has done to the mindset of this country. I hold Obama in the highest regard but even I would be amazed if he could reverse the violent logic.

Just keep praying for peace....remember in the past God said he only needed to hear for one to plead and he would have saved the nation...
imagine his hand on the area if millions prayed for peace....

If I were Iran, I would be very worried about Israel. Israel will defend its soverign borders and will attack Iran if she feels threatened and rightfully so. Iranian leaders had better reject the nuclear option and work towards peace with her neighbors and the world or risk being bombed.

very defensive....

Obama sent a message to Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the US with a military operation against Iran. No doubt if the Israelis informed Obama in advance, news of the attack would leak and Netanyahu must have figured out by now that Obama is more concerned with pursuing his grand negotiations with with Iran than with the security of Israel. US intell will have a heads up an hour before the jets take off. On the bright side, it will take Obama hours to get his act together to try and figure out what to do next. Just as he held off being POTUS during the Captains hostage we witnessed for days, 5 days it went on

Biden blows it again! And just when it looked as if an opposition was getting going in Iran. Now the conservatives in Iran are gonna use his goofy statement to rally the populace against the greater possibility of attack. So much for that opposition.

Gotta wonder, other than talk, who has Iran ever attacked? Anyone? Iraq attacked Iran and Iran defended itself at great human cost partilaly due to the poison gas that the U.S. supplied to Sadaam.

So what are these goofballs basing all this" IRAN THE AGRESSOR" stuff on other than bluster.

And they said Palin was unqualified to be VP? Better think again.

As someone who got to see how our allies work with us on a close encounter basis I can tell you that there are only a few allies I would trust to be there anytime we are in trouble. Isreal is one of them with Great Britain, including Australia and Canada. The rest will be there for a price or if it is good for them. Some of the former Eastern European Countries may be there as they do not trust the Russian Government which we should not either with their actions on Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Georgia, and other former Soviet Nations. China is not our friend either and anyone who thinks they are a friend like Great Britain or Isreal is still wearing rose colored glasses from the 60's and ingesting/injecting illegal substances.

Hmmmm, seems ardent Obamaists are also anti-Israel. Anti-Semitic is more like it – just like Rev. Wright and I suspect if the truth be known (which it never will be) Obama isn't a fan of Jews.

Wonder why so many Jews in this country are easily duped into voting for a charlatan like Obama.

@Limbaugh is a liberal
You are so misinformed it is scary.
We have given Israel hundreds of billions of dollars?? Huh? Israel gets about 3 billion a year.
Israel has cost thousands of military lives? Where and when??
They sell weapon technology to our adversaries. That might be the single most inane comment I have read here, and that is saying alot. Ummm, our adversaries are Israel's adversaries, too, genius.

Seems to me there might just be a hint of anti-semitism...

Israel attack Iraq in 1982 for their nuclear reactor without a green ligtht from anyone what makes people think they will wait for one against Iran. A Majority of the wars Israel has been involved in they were either attacked or Israel struck first to prevent an impending attack. That is how they defend their tiny country get used to it.

Israel isn't helping in Iraq and Afganistan because it would cause more problems in the Middle East then their troops would be helping in those countries. That is why they do not contribute troops.

Limbaugh is a liberal: what country is Israel selling american weapons too that is our agaionst us? Every country over there that is against us is also against them.

Obama is not ordering anybody to obey him! As our President he is voicing our opinion. At the end Israel will do what they think is better for themselves.

For everyone of you nutjobs saying that Israel doesnt need Obama's permission what world are you guys living in? Israel is such a world outcast due to their oppressive occupational stances that America is the only ally they have left and the only reason why Israel is in existence is because of the billions that America gives them each year. They know that despite the ridiculous influence they have on American policy they cant go start a war and expect America to fight it for them which is why Netenyahu, Ehud, Livni, Olmer, and every other Israeli politician begs America to give them the green light

[...] Joe Biden as President Obama has to call home, all the way from Russia, and say, "No, Joe, it is not okay if Israel just bombs Iran whenever." [...]

Obama, the Israeli's really don't care about your opinion nor will they seek your approval. While Obama prepares for his teleprompter "we are deeply concerned" photo ops the Israelis will do what they do best, plan and execute the appropriate response.

The Israelis will not apologize.

@John:
Who gave Bush the Green Light to Attack Iraq?
Congress in a bipartisan vote.

Who gave Hitler the Green Light to Attack the World?
Neville Chamberlain by his policy of appeasement.

Who gave Saddam the Green Light to Attack Kuwait?
The western world including the US by their inaction and silence as he massed troops on the boarder.

Yeah Israel will be your only friend in the mid east till kingdom cometh...or till Obama wins over the Iranians and, eh, who else is your enemies up there again?

He thinks before he acts.. something new for a president huh?

Israel is no different than terrorist like Hezbollah or Hamas and I am glad President Obama is smart enough not be a puppy dog for Israel like the last 2 presidents.

To all Israel supporters, please move back to your own country if you don't like what our President believes in.

Don't forget about Israel relentlessly attacking the USS Liberty during the six day war. The Liberty was in INTERNATIONAL WATERS, flying the US flag, and was attacked by both fighter planes and torpedo boats. 34 killed, 171 injured. Captain McGonagle of the Liberty received the Medal of Honor for his efforts – of course he was quietly awarded the Medal at the Washington Naval Yard. With "allies" like Israel, who needs enemies like Iran?!?

Biden was 100% right in what he said. Israel is a sovereign nation. We can say what we would like them to do (as Obama has stated), but we don't control them. Then question asked by George S. hinted at some type of US control and Biden answer in that context correctly. People trying to say Biden's answer was some how "wrong" needs look up the definition of "sovereign". They are not a US state. They never could be, they violate oo much of the US Constitution and rights guaranteed there in to even get much respect from me. But if they want to kill Muslims, the US has shown the world that is a right sovereign nations appear to have.

Obama was so uneasy and embarrassed by the lecture given by PUTIN in his first visit to MOSCOW. Putin didn't take our president seriously.

Gotta love Joe Biden. Hope he owns a lot of shoes, cause he keeps sticking them into his mouth!!

But Biden did. Maybe it is time for the Israeli War Machine to be unleashed and clear up this Iranian mess once and for all.

The war hawks here are those w shallow souls. We must ry all means b4 we think war.....America has been in at least 1 war since the 1940's....war, war war. Its time to try peace first.

Republican Presidents Ronald Regan and George H.W. Bush and CIA supplied weapons to Taliban and other Muslim separatists to Disintegrate USSR in the 1980s and 1990s. These weapons were used in Bloodshed of thousands in Kazakhstan Tajikistan Uzbekistan Azerbaijan So now Russia is supplying weapons to Al Quida to Attack US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama is trying to Bring Peace.... Go Obama Go.
Previous Presidents were Warmongers.

Did you who criticize even read the article? He is simply saying he would rather things be worked out diplomatically. He's not trying to meddle. Now if Isreal gets attacked then they have to do what they have to do. No question. They don't need our permission to take care of themselves so why is this even an issue? Why did you even put President Obama's name in it? Is it because they need our military? If not then let them handle it, but don't criticize the President because he would rather look at the bigger picture and not let Iran have access to nuclear weapons period which would be in the best interest for ALL of us. He's trying to resolve things peacefully. Have we been up under Bush so long we've forgotten what that's like?

I'm sure they will ask for King Obama's permission before they do anything. Yeah right; they will bow down to him like he wants everyone else to bow down to him.

Why the duplication? Was there not enough right wing nonsense in the same article earlier? Or Limbaugh posers (chicago4obama = Bass questionably not Jewish nor Obama voters) casting their transparent seeds of 'chaos' doubt?

Oh well.... Again:

Fortunately, intelligent & pragmatic foreign policy has returned to the White House. It is not our place to police the world, but rather work respectfully with other nations, including Israel, towards mutual interests of peace & stability.

Godspeed, Mr. President.

Somebody please tell me if they know of ANY difference in Israel policy between Obama and Bush? They BOTH told Israel to stop its illegal settlements. They BOTH told Arabs to recognize the country. They BOTH asked Israel not to initiate bomb attacks on Iran. There isn't a single piece of policy that's different! If you criticize Obama's policies towards Israel, then you also criticize Bush. If you like Obama's policies, then you should have no problem with Bush's policies. Face facts!

Israel gets 50% of our foreign military aid. They've used us to fight war on their enemies that cost hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars and thousands of US military lives. They continue to resell US weapon technology to our adversaries in the Middle East.
If Israel is truly our 'ally,' then tell me, what have they done for us all these years? Even the muslim theocracy of Saud Arabia contributes more to America with their supplies of oil! We have better trade with Egypt than we do with Israel. Why is Israel then considered our 'greatest' ally in the Middle East?

@ Reality:

"We've been able to further the cause of liberty via Israel."

That's so untrue its almost funny. First of all, both Jordan and Saudi Arabia actually have strategic borders with Iraq, whereas Israel's borders aren't all that important to us. We have the Persian Gulf and now Iraq when it comes to the Iranian border.

Israel costs the US money. I think Israel should be allowed to exist peacefully, but I also think that the US should stay FAR out of their business, unless they're going to give us something in return.

I don't see why Israel even needs our permission anyway. If Iran was threatening the US, Obama (I hope) wouldn't hesitate to tell Iran off. I think Israel has the same right to tell the rest of the world to butt out. They aren't the 51st State.

They have the right to defend themselves by any means necessary. They got that right when Prez. Truman (a DEMOCRAT by the way) recognized them as a nation unto themselves. End of story.

@ J.P., who said "Five-thousand-years of recorded history have shown that peace can never be "negotiated." The loser must beg for it."

I said it yesterday in response to the nonsense about only winning when you meet violence with violence...and I'll say it again...tell that to Jesus, Ghandi and MLK.

Hey BO, I don't think they asked your permission. Israel has a country to defend. If BO was not so busy trying to kiss up to the muslims, he would know this.

As usual, Obama has to mop up after Biden. Those of you calling Obama weak don't get the picture: he makes friends with Russia, the main enabler of Iran's nuclear program, and all of a sudden Iran is out of options. OR, you could try to bomb Iran's well hidden, underground facilities, most likely fail, but cause Iran to retaliate by stifling the flow of oil through the strait of Hormuz. How many of you cowboys would like $7 a gallon gas?

I don't understand either side of these comments, either praising or criticizing the president. His Israel policy is 100% the same as that of George W. Bush! Fact: Bush has gone out of his way to ask Israel not to initiate bomb attacks on Iran. Fact: Bush has laid out the Roadmap, which is a two-state solution in line with UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338. (our policy for 40 years) Fact: Bush too has asked repeatedly for Arabs to recognize Israel and for Israel to stop its illegal settlement activities.
Anyone who judges Obama on Israel any different than they judged Bush is a hypocrite!

Yes. Iran starts to grow oppsition. Any irresponsible actions will push Iran more radical. Too bad Bush/Chenney killed Saddam, otherwise, he probably at least can give Iran some headache.

Both were correct. Israel CAN determine for itself what it wants to do...and will no doubt do so. Biden was 100% correct and no fault should be directed towards him for saying so. If Israel attacks Iran, however, it does so at its own peril and can do so without our support whatsoever.

And if you don't understand the setup between Biden and Obama making these two statements within days of each other to get that message across...Biden allowing himself to take heat and Obama playing good cop...then you're a complete idiot. Biden saying what he did and the media latching onto it like a pup starving for a teat is what allowed Obama to make the veiled proimse to leave Israel in the lurch if it acts imprudently.

Well, I think the Israeli's are grown and on their own. If they want to bomb somebody they have every right to do so. They have shown remarkable restraint in past years.

I think Israel should do whatever they please, and we should stay completely out of the way. It seems the Israelis and their lackey infiltrators (i.e. Lieberman) are willing to sink the US as long as it benefits Israel. If they want to bomb Iran and watch as the entire Muslim world invades them, so be it.

Then Israel can launch every illegal WMD in their nuclear arsenal and destroy their neighbors while they themselves are destroyed. It'll be one big happy mess, exactly what both sides of the conflict have been dreaming of. We need to just stay far out of the way, regardless of the countless millions of civilian deaths are on the hands of the leadership of Iran and Israel when its all said and done. And PLEASE, don't ask us for rebuilding money.

I am so sick of the tens of billions of dollars we send directly to Israel every year, and in return all we get is meddling in our government, and Mossad spies caught spying on us seemingly at least once a year.

To everybody whom advocates a blind allegiance with Israel: Sabra and Shatila or 'How to let a bunch of wackos kill women and children, while doing nothing to save their lives, and then expect that you are still regarded as a Moral Standard...'
And Sabra and Shatila are just ONE of the most famous case of abuse of Human Rights perpetrated by the Israeli Military Forces. Let's not forget that they tried to legalize torture back in the 90's and that 'wall to protect ourselves' that they are building.
Israel is a democracy, an example for the Middle East and a trustworthy ally. But it has a large number of skeletons in its past.

Let's not alienate the Iranians??? They are building nuclear weapons and have vowed to destroy Israel.

Israel better wake up and hit those facilities before they are bombed off of the planet!

I love Obama.
He is an honest man who love peace.
Israel is not a domecratic country, but they are an evil country that humilate the Palestinians for the last 60 years.
Maybe Obama needs the Jewish vote, but he is a man of princible who knows what right and what is wrong.

donttreadonme,

If you would have read the correct translation of the Ahmadinajads speech istead of the falc\se version given to you by the stupid corporate media, you would know that Ahmedinajad said "wipe Israels government of the face of the earth, " but you're a right winger, you won't let little things like facts affect your judgment.

Stop this crap that Israel are the only ally we have over there,
that is BS, we have protected them \with money and arms for 50 years, and what did we get back?
Their spies trying to steal our nations secrets.
What you thought we'd forget about that, it was only back in 1990's

Who the heck are we to give anybody the green light?

If the Israelis, really believe they could defeat Iran, then be my guest and try. The US should stay out of it and let Israeil do what they want to do. Believe me without the big bro over here Israel would cry uncle pretty fast. And the Likuds (or the Neocons of Israel) would find out pretty quick how a "preventive war" spells disaster, at the cost of many Iranianians, Israelis and Arabs.

Remeber last war Israel had?

They won the battle, but lost the war. And this was against a small group of fighters in Lebanon. Take on a nation the Size of Iran and you will find out why Persia has never been conquered and held conquered.

But don't you dare come crying back to your big brother with the tail between your legs.

Israel needs no one permission defend itself.

Reality said "how about the fact that Israel has (until recently – now Iraq – thank you Prez Bush!) been one of the only democracies in the middle east."

Does a true democracy state that people born within the country are not full citizens, just because they happen to be born the "wrong" religion? Does a true democracy refuse provide two sets of laws for its citizens, based on religions? Does a true democracy refuse a citizen a vote due to the religion of that citizen?

Israel is not, nor has it ever been a true democracy. Stop spreading the lies!

Let us not forget that israel is the only place in the middle east that will allow us to use there air space or there ports and anything we need in case of a war israel has a army of about 100,000 how the heck do you want them to send troops they supply america witd information and anything else they can help with they ARE THE ONLY ALLY WE HAVE 0oVER THERE so I think 3 billion is a verrrrrrryyyyyy small price to pay for that don't you agree?

funny too, that the Jewish people do not believe Jesus is the son of God like most in America ...yet we tend to stick up for them no matter what... but if you don't believe the religious establishment in the US your soul is going to hell!!! ....It boggles my mind

Israel are bullies..... people really need to start doing there home work on this country!

Israel is anxious to whack Iran?!?!?!

Recently when asked what would Isreal expect if Iran attacked them, Netanyahu stated he would expect the US to retaliate.

What?!?!?!?!

Isareal is willing to initiate but not retaliate as long as we're there?!?!?!?!

Like they need or will ask out permission anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Tulsa....

"Why is it that we support Isreal? What do they do in return? ...So why should we give a flip about them? Why do we continue to send $3 BILLION each year to them? CUT OFF THE AID. SPEND IT HERE."

Er....uh....how about the fact that Israel has (until recently – now Iraq – thank you Prez Bush!) been one of the only democracies in the middle east. Do you realize that Israel has provided an open door for the U.S. to promote liberty and freedom throughout a middle east region soaked in oppression? We've been able to further the cause of liberty via Israel. I'd say that's worth 3 Billion a year. It definitely beats 1 Trillion in pork barrell spending under the guise of a Stimulus package. Sheesh – why so much hatred Tulsa?

Miriam from Israel – Your government doesn't need our permission to protect your country. It needs our military aid. So don't piss us off.

chicago4obama – So Sarah Palin can count on the Jewish vote in 2012?

The US is going to be in deep do do when Nobama gets through "giving away the farm" to all the rogue nations! Geez, that man is scary!

Peace.. peace.. give Obie time to put on his training wheels.... He didnt have a problem throwing Hillary under the bus and McCain over the rainbow, he wont have any problem FLOGGING rogue individuals......

The US shouldn't send a green light because it will only alienate the people of Iran. Think through it logically. For the first time people are challenging the Ayatollah in a real way. Is now the time to issue a green light to galvanize the Iranian people against foreign powers?

The pro-Israeli lobby needs to take a chill-pill on this. For the first time in a long time, we have a President who can think things through and act in the best interest of America.

Obama: U.S. not giving Israel green light to attack Iran.

Who gave Bush the Green Light to Attack Iraq?

Who gave Hitler the Green Light to Attack the World?

Who gave Saddam the Green Light to Attack Kuwait?

All of them Attacked without Green Lights.....

Nobody listens to Obama anyway....not Iran....not N. Korea....not the Taliban....not Al Qaeda.....not Honduras......nobody...

Israel will do what it has to do.

We have pumped bilions of dollars into Israel. Now tell me when was the last time Israel put any money into US hands?

Wow, some ally we have here. I have another word for it though: Mooch!

Why is it that we support Isreal? What do they do in return? They have been caught spying on us. They do not fight along side us. They contribute nothing to our goals as a nation and a people. They have broken their own agreements with the Palistineans. (No fan of the PLO, Hamas, etc... but the truth is the truth)
So why should we give a flip about them? Why do we continue to send $3 BILLION each year to them?
CUT OFF THE AID. SPEND IT HERE.

You're right, Miriam, Israel doesn't need American permission to do your business, but the American government does have the right to its own opinion. What Israel ends up doing is up to your government. Hopefully things will done in a peaceful manner.

Really? I thought Obama was preaching to America about the fact that America should NOT be meddling in other's affairs....to the point that he continues his "America Apology Tour" around the world. He preaches this but when it affects HIS agenda, it's a totally different story. If we don't need permission from anyone to defend ourselves, why does Israel need permission to defend itself. God be with you Israel, as you defend your sovereignty against your enemies.

@Dan
"The fear-mongering right need not worry."
Two questions:
1. It doesn't make you nervous at all if Iran had a nuclear weapon? I think that's pretty naive.
2. You accuse Republicans of fear mongering?? What about this stimulous package that had to pass? If we don't pass it now, the economy will spiral downward and the economic life as we know it will be in peril. That is the message that was conveyed by President Obama. Is that fear-mongering?

Just curious...

I wonder since Messiah is in Russia if he will ask Russian President why its nation committed such horrible crimes in chechnya

Its sad to read a person who claim to regret his Jewish vote for the President Obama, yet he would not acknowledge the fact that Isreal have been and continues to treat the Palistians like slaves and second class citizens under the guise of Security, however, no complaints and you wonder why they hate Iseral, rather you want to beleive it or not, Isreal could not sustain its self with the US support so get off the high horse and remember "God" don't like evil.

It is NOT up to Obama to decide what Israel does. what happened to the not meddling president? This guy cannot even stand up for human rights in Iran until Clinton gives him a kick in the butt yet he thinks he should have a say in what Israel does? Last time I looked Israel was a sovereign country. Butt out, Barack.

Israel doesn't need our permission to do anything. They are a sovereign country that makes its own decisions. I do have a question for donttreadonme. Exactly how many nuclear missiles do you think it would take to wipe out North Korea? If we cut our nuclear arsenal by 90%, we would still have more than enough weapons to destroy the world. The fear-mongering right need not worry.

Why so many right wing Republican's support Israel is beyond me.

As if Israel needs to ask permission or receive a 'green light' from the U.S., the UN, the Hague or any other country or organization. Israel knows better than any other country what it means to fight for survival or be extinguished as a race, culture and a country. I have no doubt that Israel will do what it feels necessary for its self-preservation.
Whether the President of the United States approves or not.

If Israel is attacked they have a right to Wipe their enemy
off the face of the Earth. only if provoked.

to J.P.,
Yes, it's tought to be diplomatic.
Thankfully, we have an enlightened President.
Did Northern Ireland's "troubles" end in a military victory for one side or another? No, but they did end. Now both sides are contributing to their country's growth and have both denounced the recent violence.

It is a small matter compared to the middle east but it is a glimmer of hope.

Be glad we don't have McCain and Palin in the White House JP, it would be far worse to have someone who does not want to talk to our
adversaries than what we have. There is hope that at least we can be on the right path instead of the failed foreign policy of the Bush years.

As far as Isreal caring what the US thinks..... I bet they would care if we cut off their aid. Of course it would be political suicide, but what the heck, might as well go out on the side of right.

Ahhh....leave it to Joe for some sweet online fodder. Once again, Joe speaks and then Obama needs to publicly correct him. I'm glad Obama picked Biden as VP. My laughter helps me forget how Obama is robbing me blind.

I for one am tired of nation's attacking other country's unprovoked,if
Israel bombs Iran then it will lead to trouble. for both our country's

He has to protect the muslims. As a Jew its sad my people could not see through Obama – what a sham. At least Bush has guts. BO is possibly less courageous than Carter. giving it all away to the Russians now.

Perhaps it should be stipulated that is Israel invaled on it's own...it will be on it's own for the duration of the battle. Does Israel fight in Iraq and Afganistan with us? Is Israel beside us in South Korea?
If you are our ally...BE our ally.

And why does our government need US permission to protect our country? Iran doesn't want to drive Americ into the sea..they wants to drive me and my fellow citizens into the sea.........

Everyone needs to relax.

Biden was just making a statement.

Perhaps it's time we stop following Israel blindly. That might ease some of the tensions in the area.

It's time we stop interfering with other nation's affairs. Look where it got us. Who put us in charge of running the world.

Israel has the right to defend itself from a country who made it very clear they intend to blow Israel off the map. I along with my many Jewish friends regret voting for President Obama. If he ran today he would not get the Jewish vote. He has now moved into the Jimmy Carter camp!

Israel you need to wait until they actually bomb you before you react.

Remember Iran’s leaders said that they will destroy Israel and are now building Nuclear weapons.

But don't fret – with Obama cutting out missile defense we will be hit by North Korea eventually.

Like Israel cares what Obama thinks.

Obama is blowing smoke, he doesnt want his muslim brothers hurt by Israel.

"The United States is "absolutely not" giving Israel a green light to attack Iran, U.S. President Barack Obama told CNN Tuesday."
It would seem that by the same token of thought present in this article that the President and Vice President are in lock step, and that a "Green Light" is not needed from the U.S. but rather a simple heads up with a little lead time will do just fine.

Israel is not fooled by America's chosen one.., or Russia.

Dear lord – the incompetence shown by Obama!

Yo Barry... Israel doesn't NEED a green light from you. They're not sitting at the Obama Traffic Signal.

Israel will do whatever is needed to protect their people and their sovereignty. The LAST thing the people of Israel need is to rely on a leader named HUSSEIN to keep their interests at heart!

Spin it how you want, VP has another case of Athletes Tongue

Anyone think they care what Obama says? Lightem up boys. Someone has to stand up to them, we won't. We will talk them to death with speeches.

It ain't Obama's business what Israel does.
He is a liberal and thinks talking with people who want to hurt you is the way to go.
Israel can not wait months for the USA to work out their touchy feely feelings with Iran.
Israel MUST protect themselves

Israel does not need a "green light" from the US. All they want is tacit approval. They got it.

It's going to get VERY messy over there.
