Israel worries: Obama hesitating on Syria means he will hesitate much more in attacking Iran

[enhanced_deficit]

How did they assume in first place that Obama would attack Iran for their security?

Insight: As Obama blinks on Syria, Israel, Saudis make common cause (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/02/us-syria-crisis-israel-saudi-insight-idUSBRE9810CE20130902)
JERUSALEM/RIYADH | Mon Sep 2, 2013 8:52am EDT
(Reuters) - If President Barack Obama has disappointed Syrian rebels by deferring to Congress before bombing Damascus, he has also dismayed the United States' two main allies in the Middle East. Israel and Saudi Arabia..

Israel's state-run Army Radio was more explicit: "If Obama is hesitating on the matter of Syria," it said, "Then clearly on the question of attacking Iran, a move that is expected to be far more complicated, Obama will hesitate much more - and thus the chances Israel will have to act alone have increased."


Israelis fear US debate on Syria foreshadows weakness on Iran (http://www.latimes.com/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-israel-us-debate-syria-20130901,0,362254.story)

Even if the U.S. eventually punishes Syria for its alleged use of ... over Syria will complicate Israel's effort to keep a low profile on the issue and ...



On a side note, if FP Obama did not attack Iran and Iran got equal to Israel in nuclear deterrant capacity, Israel's chances of maintaining open-ended occupation of Palestinians will sharply diminish.

Wondering if recent Syria "red line" was implemented just to test/forecast if Obama/US will attack Iran in future..

And all signs point to very cloudy forecast.

They are right to get worried:

Poll Shows Overwhelming US Opposition to Attacking Iran (http://news.antiwar.com/2012/09/11/poll-shows-overwhelming-us-opposition-to-attacking-iran/)

Don't Want to Get Involved if Israel Attacks Either

by Jason Ditz, September 11, 2012

A new poll conducted (http://www.thechicagocouncil.org/files/About_Us/Press_Releases/FY13_Releases/120910A.aspx) by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs shows an overwhelming opposition to the idea of attacking Iran among American voters, with 70 percent saying (http://www.thechicagocouncil.org/UserFiles/File/Task%20Force%20Reports/2012_CCS_Report.pdf) they are opposed to the idea of a unilateral US attack on Iran.
The poll showed a declining number of Americans considering Iran’s civilian nuclear program a “threat” to American interests, and solid majorities opposed US involvement in an Iran war authorized by the UN or in joining (http://forward.com/articles/162681/americans-oppose-iran-attack-by---margin/) an Israeli attack on Iran.

Nothing a good old fashioned false flag can't cure, right?

What a dirtbag and exactly the reason why our presidents should NEVER draw a red line ever. People will always look to exploit it.

[asurfaholic]

How did Chem weapons become the red line anyways? Just part of the plan?

What about
1) using tanks to run over protesters
2) drone strikes in civilian areas lol
3) other bad shit?

Will hesitate on attacking Iran, if what? If they attack us first, I doubt there would be any hesitation. Or, do you mean, when Israel calls for it?

I'm just sick of this school yard bullshit.

Dangerous Qs that should not be asked.

Iran is not known to do "pre-emptive" attacks, so chances of them attacking us first are none.

[paulbot24]

Obama talking about have to "go at it alone." Now Israeli leaders decrying the possibility of having to act alone. Cry me a river psychopaths. Didn't the Kim-Jong-iL figure sing a song about how lonely it is "at the top" in the movie Team America? The lyrics seem very appropriate right now for some reason.

Israel Backs Limited Syria Strike

President Obama’s plan to punish the Syrian government for an alleged chemical-weapons attack stops short, he says, of trying to effect a regime change—a strategy that has been labeled as pointless by some. For Israel, maintaining the status quo without strengthening the position of either Iran’s ally Bashar al-Assad or the rebel groups that seek his overthrow may be the best possible outcome. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest pro-Israel lobby in the U.S., has supported the president’s approach, saying the U.S. must “send a forceful message” against Iran and Hezbollah’s use of chemical weapons, but AIPAC says nothing of the outcome of the civil war. A prolonged conflict in Syria is considered taxing on Iran and could therefore halt its nuclear ambitions.

So what if iran has one or a few nukes. Using them will result in them getting glassed by every one else.
