Obama to Israel: "Bet The Farm On Me".............by Dan Friedman

Obama sends top security aide to Israel as tension builds over nuclear Iran

Dempsey: Israeli strike on Iran would not be prudent

'You can bet that behind the scenes a panicky Obama is tempering his “pressure” by reassuring Israel that if they play ball, he will attack Iran himself - if and when the Islamic Republic builds an H-Bomb. Wouldn't it be great if Israel trusted Obama? It would save the world an awful lot of sturm und drang. But after experiencing three plus years of his brand of “friendship,” with the possibility of four more, my guess is Obama’s word is not nearly good enough for Jerusalem and the sons and daughters of the Holocaust to risk it all on.'
