Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with CBS News airing Sunday, said the international community and the United States have “no sense of urgency” when it comes to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Netanyahu suggested the various conflicts in the Middle East have diverted the West’s attention and allowed Iran to move forward with pursuing a bomb.

“I have a sense that there’s no sense of urgency … on Iran,” Netanyahu told CBS’s “Face the Nation,” according to an advance transcript. “And yet Iran is the most important, the most urgent matter of all.

“Because all the problems that we have, however important, will be dwarfed by this messianic, apocalyptic, extreme regime that would have atomic bombs. It would make a terrible, catastrophic change for the world and for the United States.”

1. Funny.............

“Because all the problems that we have, however important, will be dwarfed by this messianic, apocalyptic, extreme regime that would have atomic bombs. It would make a terrible, catastrophic change for the world and for the United States.”

I thought that was Israel.....

3. He should have been asked about...

...the alliance he is forming with the Saudis, UAE and Egyptian military. He's doing it behind our backs.
Our warning to him was exposing the July 5th raids on Latakia.

5. Breaks my heart. Poor Israel

tells the entire rest of the planet to fuck off and then can't get them to rally behind Israel.

6. If you look at a map of the USA's military bases worldwide, you'll see a dozen or so

bases on two sides of Iran and the 6th fleet patrolling the waters off Iran's coast.
WTF does Yoyo want? Well I guess that's obvious: More attacks on Iran followed by an all out invasion.
I don't think that's in the USA's national interest and oppose it.
I don't think adopting AIPAC's foreign policy is in the USA's national interest and oppose that too.

7. Let me make this perfectly clear-

Sit down, Shut up and quit complicating things with bombing Russian supplies.

The world is waiting and your weapons are getting more obsolete everyday.

8. Unlike Israel . . .

". . . various conflicts in the Middle East have diverted the West’s attention and allowed Iran to move forward with pursuing a bomb."

Unlike Israel, which already has scores of nuclear weapons, and who regularly uses subtle (and occasionally not so subtle) threats of their potential use to intimidate and coerce her assumed enemies, principally Iran.

This is a game Netanyahu plays with skill, however, he has used the same tactic so often it is losing much of its effectiveness, even here, in the land of Israel's greatest proponents. Starting another Mid-East war, one which would likely be the worst yet, is not at all what the American people seem to desire. Now if he could arrange it so that Iran is seen to have attacked Israel first, that would be very different, very different indeed.
