Obama says he's not bluffing on Iran nukes
(CNN) - President Barack Obama says he isn't bluffing when he says Iran shouldn't have a nuclear weapon, but he cautions against a premature Israeli strike against the Islamic republic.
"At a time when there is not a lot of sympathy for Iran and its only real ally, (Syria,) is on the ropes, do we want a distraction in which suddenly Iran can portray itself as a victim?" he said this week in an interview with the Atlantic.

Its not about Nukes... IRAN, IRAQ, LIBYA have this in common...
They all trying to get out of the dollar in purchasing oil.. They want to GET OUT of the DOLLAR. wake up!
A preemptive war would be reckless, and a sign of panic. Such a move would also prove everything that Islamic extremists say about the West. Bin Laden had said that his reason for the 9/11 attacks was because the West invades Arab countries to overthrow, occupies them to steal the oil, and leaves behind a puppet government. That charge sounded pretty crazy right up until Bush invaded Iraq.
Making a preemptive strike would be even more reckless. You have no way of knowing if you are aiming at the right target, and Iran holds all of the aces when it comes to proving that you struck the wrong one, killing civilians.
Keep their feet to the fire Mr. President!
I predict there will be a simultaneous attack on Iran and Syria. Let's wait and see.
im sick of hereing that you have done and havent done we have poor kids and we burndt our bras ,and prgised,and liers to us te people why religion and woemns body are therirs so this with actors and the rich and te gays leave people ulone and do your job havent seen it yet becoming russisa we fill and aliens we have to puss one for my engliss sick of it
I have 180% confidence on this President. Obama2012.
If we elect Mittens, I am sure he will be able to unite the warring factions in the middle east against us.
America can't afford a war with Iran and America has no actual reason to go to war with Iran. Full stop.
For the most part I'm a peaceful guy; but, if you don't think our President and our country is serious about this Iran,why don't you ask Osama bin Laden and the upper escalon leaders of Al Queda and the Taliban. Oh, that's right, I forgot... you can't!
Does Ron Paul support Obama's DIPLOMATIC approach on Iran or Rmoney's war-mongering?
Somebody is FAKE!
Usually when someone says "I'm not bluffing", they're bluffing.
Sounds like George Bush all over again...two wrongs don't make a right
"I also don't, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are." - Obama
============================================================================
But that is EXACTLY what Obama did when you ramped up troops in Afghanistan! So by Obama's own definition and words, his Afghanistan policy for the last two years has been UNSOUND! Yes, we already knew that.
Obama is a total empty suit and the Iranians know it. They are laughing their arses off at this weakling. Israel is going to have to count on doing this themselves.
