The US shouldn't let Iran develope nukes

At least if Obama doesn't do anything Israel will.

The primary imperative for the United States and President Barack Obama is to put an end to Iran's nuclear race, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said before his swearing-in Tuesday, adding that if the US failed to do so Israel might be forced to resort to a military strike on the Islamic Republic's nuclear installations.

"The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons," Netanyahu told The Atlantic. The Iranian drive for a nuclear weapon was a "hinge of history," he said, emphasizing that all of "Western civilization" was responsible for preventing an Iranian bomb.

"You don't want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs," Netanyahu said of the Iranian regime. "When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death, then the entire world should start worrying, and that is what is happening in Iran."

Netanyahu suggested that Israeli preemptive strikes against perceived threats were the result of the Jewish people learning from a long history of grappling against those who threatened their collective existence. He cited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's repeated calls to "wipe Israel off the map," as well as a recent remark by the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to the effect that Israel was a "cancerous tumor."

At least Netanyahu gets it. He gets national security and security to the world. He won't let the terrorist nation states that are Hell bent on destroying the democracies of the world get nukes. Obama should get that too. But sadly I think he would rather talk to Iran and make idle threats. While Netanyahu will take action and destroy the nukes like we should be doing.

Israel attacks Iranian convoy

Some how I doubt Obama would have done the same. At least Israel can do what's needed when it's needed.

Israel used unmanned drones to attack clandestine Iranian convoys in Sudan that were attempting to smuggle rockets into Gaza, Britain's Sunday Times newspaper reported.

The paper said that western diplomats confirmed that Israel attacked the Iranian truck convoys in late January and the first week of February in the remote Sudan desert, just outside the Red Sea town of Port Sudan.

The convoys had been tracked by agents from Mossad, Israel's overseas intelligence agency, the report added.

I think it is a must that we support and aid Irsael as much as we can. They are the only Democracy over there and our 1st defense if another World War ever breaks out in that area. It pains me when I see a lot on the left blaming Israel for the problems over in that area. They aren't the ones stuck in the stone age stoning gays and woman just for being such.
