This idea is an embarrassing nonstarter for the Obama camp because it fails to address the use of proxies by Iran. But, reading between the lines, it appears the crux of this story is Obama’s reversal of his stand that Iran’s pursuit of nukes is “unacceptable.” To quote Sarkozy (said to Israel back in October, but still applicable today)…”Obama’s stand on Iran is “utterly immature…”

Here is an excerpt and link to the story at Fox News…

Haaretz, quoting an unnamed source, said the Obama administration would pledge under the proposed “nuclear umbrella” to respond to any Iranian strike on Israel with a “devastating U.S. nuclear response.”

Granting Israel a nuclear guarantee would essentially suggest the U.S. is willing to come to terms with a nuclear Iran, the paper reported.

Aggressive forces in the world are licking their chops to step up and take a swing at Obama. It’s almost like a carnival game…”Knock out the Anointed One” and win a prize.

And to think, Obama’s fawning fanbois thought they could take their skinny hero to the beach for a celebratory picnic. They didn’t count on those boorish neighborhood tough guys…eager to kick sand in “purdy boy’s” face and wipe away that ridiculous smile.

Heheh. It’s a dangerous time for our country, but we’ve gotta love the justice.

At any rate, Ralph Peters provides a nice summary of the situation so far in today’s NY Post (here’s an excerpt)…

Well, I guess not all the world is fawning over “The One”.

Per Haaretz (excerpt–emphasis added)…

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama’s positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel’s government.

Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate’s stance on Iran as “utterly immature” and comprised of “formulations empty of all content.”

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rebuffed President Barry’s friendly overtures to meet for tea and scones–announcing that he wouldn’t meet with Barry unless all U.S. forces are pulled out of the M.E. and we end our support for the Zionist Entity. And Monkey Boy’s spokesman added (Source: NewsBusters)…

Biden has historically been a strong ally of Israel, so this comment may turn out to be apocryphal. If, however, it turns out to be true, there will be some slippage of support among voters who count themselves strong supporters of Israel.

Here’s an excerpt (read it all at Haaretz)…

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden was quoted Monday as telling senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran.

In the unsourced report, Army Radio also quoted Biden as saying that he opposed “opening a additional military and diplomatic front.”
