SCREW YOU! Obama warns Israel, “attack Iran and you won’t get squat from the US”
SCREW YOU! Obama warns Israel, “attack Iran and you won’t get squat from the US”
No weapons. No military backup. No missile shields. If you defy the King of America, you’re own your own. (Hmmm, is he saying, “we will fight on the side of Iran?”)
Obama, who has repeatedly
pledged his commitment to Israeli security, is the first American
president to cut Israeli adrift against a major threat to its security
explicitly posed by Iran.
US Gen. Martin Dempsey’s assertion
Thursday, Aug. 30 that the US would not be “complicit” in an Israel
strike against Iran, together with the drastic reduction in the scale of
next month’s joint US-Israeli war game disclosed by TIME, add up to a
blunt message from US President Barack Obama to Israel: You are on your
own! See how you manage without special US weapons and US military
backup, including a shield against missile counter-attack, if you decide
to defy us and go through with a military operation against Iran.
Instead of the 5,000 US troops
originally assigned for Austere Challenge 12, the annual joint exercise,
the Pentagon will send only 1,200 to 1,500 service members. The missile
interception systems at the core of the joint exercise will be reduced
in number and potency: Patriot anti-missiles will come without crews and
maybe one instead of two Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships,
according to the magazine.
The
US president has put his campaign for re-election next month at great
albeit calculated risk. His rival Mitt Romney will not doubt follow up
on the charges he made during his acceptance speech to the Republican
convention Thursday that Obama threw “allies like Israel under the bus”
and failed utterly to stop Iran’s centrifuges spinning.
DEBKAfile’s
military sources: The Obama administration has put Israel on harsh
notice that an attack on Iran to disrupt or delay its nuclear armament
will be refused US missile backup – both in the course of the operation
and to cover Israel’s back in the event of a counter-strike widening
into a general Middle East conflict. The Netanyahu government will bear
full and exclusive responsibility for the consequences of attacking
Iran.
Obama may find the Jewish vote and
campaign contributions fading. For Romney an incumbent president
throwing Israel to the wolves against the ayatollahs is a dream come
true.
In the last month, Obama has undergone
a change of face: The top US soldier and ambassador Dan Shapiro were
told to start treating Israel like a pest and telling its leaders that
the administration is fed to the teeth with their clamor for action on
Iran. READ MORE:DEBKA
