U.S. Warns Israel on Strike

[JB]

Yes, I'm sure that Netanyahu and the rest of the Israelis ought to be willing to die in an Iranian nuclear strike as a matter of "courtesy".

Not at all. But if the government of Israel wants to defy a request from a country that throws huge amounts of money at them, the US needs to walk away. You know, friends like these and all that. ;)

Given a choice between dying in place and taking Obama's word that the sanctions will work before Iran gets the capability to launch, the Israelis have a choice to make, but I'm sure that the "friends like these" meme goes both ways. To put it another way, would you trust Obama with your life?

Doesn't matter. Israel asks forgiveness not permission. I live by the same mantra. I'll get over it. :D
