BREAKING NEWS: Obama Too Busy For Netanyahu

[IGetItAlready]

While it's happened before, it seems a little more significant with Netanyahu's recent plea to the Western world for support in their efforts to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons AND Obama's campaign's recent attempt to snub Israel with their attempted campaign platform.

No link as of yet as this has just been reported but it appears campaigning is trumping Middle Eastern security...

Color me shocked...

Campaign is more important to the campaigner in chief.

Obama's "Talk to the Hand" Israeli diplomacy.

Amazing

He needs to look to the country north of us for an example of what leadership is.

Canada closes embassy in Iran, expels Iranian diplomats
Baird says Iran viewed as world's 'most significant threat to global peace and security'

By Laura Payton, CBC News

Canada has suspended diplomatic relations with Iran and is expelling Iranian diplomats from Canada, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird announced in a statement today.

Speaking to reporters in Russia, where he's attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-Operation summit, Baird said the government is formally listing Iran today as a state sponsor of terrorism under the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act.

That will theoretically allow Canadians affected by terrorism supported by the Iranian regime to sue.

Later in the day, Baird added Syria to the list of terror-sponsoring states.

“Canada is committed to fighting global terrorism and to holding perpetrators of terrorism — and those who provide them support — accountable for their actions,” Baird said following a news release that officially added Syria to the list.

“Building resilience against terrorism is a priority for our government, and respect for the rule of law prevails in a resilient society,” added Public Safety Minister Vic Toews.

Earlier Friday, Baird denounced Iran in the strongest possible terms.

"Iran is among the world's worst violators of human rights. It shelters and materially supports terrorist groups," Baird said in a news release announcing the formal terror listing, adding: "Unequivocally, we have no information about a military strike on Iran."

Baird said Canada has closed its embassy in Iran, effective immediately, and declared personae non gratae all remaining Iranian diplomats in Canada. Those diplomats must leave within five days. All Canadian diplomats have already left Iran.

How pissed do you think Obama was with Netanyahu's refusal to give him a heads up on any preemptive action Israel may feel the need to take?
Kinda screams, "We sooooo don't trust you fool".
Let's watch Obama get his petty payback and hang himself in the process.

 

[Jackson]

We have an absence of leadership in this country. There is tensions in the relationship between these two and it is imperative that they get together. The campaign has to take a backseat sometimes when a war could break out at any time. Listen to Isreal, Mr. President!

Obama won't meet Netanyahu over Iran row - Israeli official - Yahoo! News

The White House has rejected a request by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet President Barack Obama in the United States this month, an Israeli official said on Tuesday, after a row erupted between the allies over Iran's nuclear programme.

An Israeli official told Reuters on condition of anonymity that Netanyahu's aides had asked for a meeting when he visits the United Nations this month, and "the White House has got back to us and said it appears a meeting is not possible. It said that the president's schedule will not permit that".

Netanyahu has met with Obama on all the Israeli leader's U.S. trips since 2009.

 

[BlindBoo]

Some Israeli analysts view Mr. Netanyahu’s demand for clear red lines more as a face-saving device to allow him to back down from his belligerent rhetoric, since he does not appear to have the support in Israel or abroad for a unilateral and uncoordinated attack on Iran.

The rhetoric, in turn, is seen by many experts here as a means of pressuring the international powers into taking action against Iran rather than as an indication of real Israeli intentions.

Will Canada invade Iran?
I'm sure the Iranians don't give a fuck about Canada when they stand their ground against much more powerful nations.
