Obama Officials “Absolutely” Concerned Israel Will Attack Iran, Worried They Won’t Be Notified Before Military Action Taken…

Gee, why would Israel not want to tip off the Obama admin before attacking Iran?

(Haaretz) — U.S. officials are concerned that Israel will not warn them before taking military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities, a senior U.S. military official said Friday.

The official, who asked to remain anonymous, told the CNN network that although in the past, U.S. officials thought they would receive warning from Israel if it did take military action against Iran, “now that doesn’t seem so ironclad.”

The U.S. is “absolutley” concerned that Israel is preparing an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, and this concern is increasing, CNN reported the official as saying.

The U.S. has increased its “watchfulness” of Iran and Israel over the past few weeks, U.S. Central and European Commands, which watch Iranian and Israeli developments respectively, are “increasingly vigilant” at this time, according to the official, and a second military official who also spoke with CNN.

The military official emphasized that the U.S is concerned about the risk a strike against Iran could pose for American troops in Iraq and in the Persian Gulf, according to the CNN report.

    I’m concerned Israel will fall for another Obama trick and notify his group of thieves before they attack. If they do that they might as well call Dinnerjacket and give him a heads up.

    Calling SCOAMF would be the same as calling the Iranian Air Defence Command

    After all the bullshit, these assholes seriously think that Israel would tell them squat? About military secrets no less? Talk about fucking delusional….

    Nailed it in the commentary. I saw this article elsewhere, and the first thought I had is why in the world would Isreal tell the Marxist in the WH, who will without a doubt tip off Turkey, who will tip off Iran.

    and we know how much Barry just loves the Islamic Turkish PM.

    Both the Israelis and Iranians pegged Obama as a weak leader back in 2008 when Obama said he would sit down and talk with the death-to-Israel Iranians without any preconditions – to try and paint McCain as some sort of foreign policy neanderthal.

  15. Buddy8 says:

    Since we no longer are going to have military in Iraq maybe an Israeli strike will be easier? Hey, maybe this is Obama’s plan? Never mind.

    Notifying this administration of an attack against a mutual enemy is like notifying the foxes that the farmer is guarding the chicken coop with a shotgun.

  21. Snake Plissken says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:18 pm

    Prayers for the Israelis. Hopefully they got a few “bunker busters” to clean out the embedded nuclear sites before Barry turned HIS back on those we still consider our friends. For the life of me, I can’t understand why the Brits have stepped forward to declare their military support if the US undertakes an attack on Iran after the shabby treatment Obama has given them. They oughta start calling him “Special Barry” . . .

  22. Xavier says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:19 pm

    “…the U.S is concerned about the risk a strike against Iran could pose for American troops in Iraq and in the Persian Gulf…”

    The only thing this administration is concerned about is reelection. This situation with Israel is a subset of that, just like jobs and the economy.

  23. Milo says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:19 pm

    This administration has done everything to alienate Israel and has caused it real damage already.

    1967 borders? No preconditions.

    I can pretty much guarantee they won’t get notification. Obama’s got a bedside radio tuned to Al Jazeera anyway. Or maybe CNN will call for a quote or two after the fact.

    Israel knows what it’s doing. They really don’t need Obamas opinion.

  24. vagabond trader esq says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:21 pm

    When all is said and done I doubt Israel has the firepower to eliminate the Iranian nuke threat in its entirety. At best they’ll set it back a few months or so.

  25. Teacake says:

    Israel has nukes. I know they won’t use them but better to be the nuker than the nukee.

    I saw an article yesterday VT I think at Noisy about exploding a nuke way high above a country would knock out an entire electric grid. That would be a great way to go and at the same time do it to china and russia.

    If Israel gives the Muslim Bro in the D.C. Hood a heads up, Iran will know before they can fuel their jets. Ihatethejews and Imam Barry are brothers from different mothers with a mutual wish for the destruction of Israel and their agenda for the MIslamazation of the Middle East and N. Africa. The closeted Muslim in Chief has succeeded in clearing the path for turning Egypt and Libya into Iran clones and when he accomplishes his “pull out” from Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran is ready to move in and secure another victory for radical Muslim terrorists.

  31. Milo says:

    Most of the US military has addressed EMP through hardened sites, and special facilities designs, specifically designed to stop EMP radiation.

    Google airburst EMP.

    Did it ever occur to you Obama that the U.S. didn’t notify Pakistan when it went after Osama bin Laden for exactly the same reasons Israel won’t notify you if or when they go after Iran’s Nuclear facilities.

  33. vagabond trader esq says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:37 pm

    Israel will never ever use nukes as an offensive weapon, and deploying them for defense will be a Sampson type option. Get a grip, Jews are NOT the muzz.

  34. Jethro says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:39 pm

    Funny, because this doesn’t worry me in the slightest, and I wish my Israeli brothers and sisters good luck and Godspeed turning Iran into a smoldering parking lot for the next millenia or so.

    I’d consider it a personal favor, and probably so would the rest of the world, if Iran became a fishbowl, or the new Iranian sea.

  37. Rufus says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:47 pm

    If you’re looking for a more immediate worry, remember who controls the Suze Canal.

    Imagine what happens when the Muslim Brotherhood, the PLO and al Qaeda decide who passes through their waterway.

  38. Nothing up my sleeve says:

    @vagabond

    When all is said and done I doubt Israel has the firepower to eliminate the Iranian nuke threat in its entirety. At best they’ll set it back a few months or so.

    I think Israel would probably go for a decapitation of the government in Iran rather than an all out nuke facility attack. It would solve the problem if they could at the same time count on a more moderate influence filling the void. The trick would be taking out enough of them to make it feasible.

  39. Nothing up my sleeve says:
    November 5, 2011 at 6:58 pm

    @Teacake

    I think that there are more immediate concerns than Iran or N. Korea doing the EMP launch, like China.

    http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-09/us/california.contrails_1_contrail-rocket-california-coast?_s=PM:US

    i’m just fantasying that Israel would do something like that to the nations who basically are holding the world hostage, rather than old school nuke.

    i’ve been thinking about that all week and I just have a feeling after what happened 60 years ago, and now this and how the world is not only insane but has the ability to destroy so much… G-d does not exist.

    If any one wants to see how this goes down, read Joel Rosenberg’s newest novel, The Tehran Initiative. As usual, the story seems ripped from the headlines. Israel will notify Imam Obama right before the actual hit. “Oh by the way Mahdi Barry, we are in the process of neutering Iran. Have a nice day!”

    Get ready for $10/gal gas.

  46. 86 says:

    From Obama’s actions (and he is the ultimate anti-Semite), I wouldn’t be surprised if he is providing military assistance and intelligence to the Iranians.

  47. pursang says:
    November 5, 2011 at 7:59 pm

    What’s the problem? If you are content to lead from behind, you can wait for the phone call that tells you world events went on without your input.

    But after all, He (may pee be upon him) is a community organizer, not a world leader. The Isrealis recogonize that.

    Israel tipping off Obama before a raid on Iran would be like the the US tipping off the Paki ISI before going after Osama; very bad idea, neither can be trusted

    angry wombat – we don’t get gas from the middle east. well we do..about 2% from Saudi.

    we get 98% from Canada and Mexico.

    The problem, I think, with people is simple. Folks have been shielded from the repercussions of their stupid actions for so long that they think that they’re immune from the consequences.

    The folly of shielding fools from their actions is that eventually, you fill the world with fools.

    Now is the time to pray as if your life depends on it because it does. Pray for our soldiers, and our young and helpless. Pray we have the presence of mind and the fortitude to fight for our Christian faith and send the liar-in-chief packing along with his assistants who are also minions of Satan.

  56. hoodaticus says:
    November 5, 2011 at 11:33 pm

    Probably best to hit the White House before Iran a la Pearl Harbor, or make your attack after inauguration day, so you don’t have a muslim sympathizer ready to attack Israel sitting on the nuclear button of the United States and at the head of NATO.

    Obama will use OUR military resources to abort any Israeli

    shoot down Israeli planes if it comes to that. Mark my words.

    Benjamin Netanyahu should order general Benny Gantz to do whatever it takes to destroy iranian nuclear program. He can not, and hopefully will not trust Barack Hussein Obama. Netanyahu should fulfill his mission and protect the Sate of Israel. Israel should not take the chance to get Iran to get the nuclear weapons.
