Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned today that Iran is just months away from being able to build nuclear bomb.
“Iran is in the red zone, the last 20 yards. And you cannot let them cross the goal line.”

But Obama doesn’t have time to meet with Netanyahu this week.

Reuters
reported:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that Iran was just six to seven months away from being able to build a nuclear bomb, adding urgency to his demand that President Barack Obama set a clear “red line” for Tehran in what could deepen the worst U.S.-Israeli rift in decades.

Taking to the television airwaves to make his case directly to the American public, Netanyahu said that by mid-2013, Iran would be 90 percent of the way toward enough enriched uranium for a bomb. He urged the United States to spell out limits that Tehran must not cross if it is to avoid military action – something Obama has refused to do.

“You have to place that red line before them now, before it’s too late,” Netanyahu told NBC’s “Meet the Press” program, saying that such a U.S. move could reduce the chances of having to attack Iran’s nuclear sites.

The unusually public dispute – coupled with Obama’s decision not to meet with Netanyahu later this month – has exposed a deep U.S.-Israeli divide and stepped up pressure on the U.S. leader in the final stretch of a tight presidential election campaign.

It was the clearest marker Netanyahu has laid down so far on why he has become so strident in his push for Washington to confront Tehran with a strict ultimatum. At the same time, his approach seemed certain to stoke further tensions with Obama, with whom he has had a notoriously testy relationship.

The Obama White House invited Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi of Egypt to meet this coming week but Obama turned down an invitation to meet with Netanyahu.

    Instead of accepting Netanyahu’s partial apology and letting bygones be bygones, Obama issued a stern warning to the Israeli prime minister and is now demanding that he take “specific actions” to show he is “committed” to the U.S.-Israel relationship and to the peace process itself.

    Washington did not reveal the contents of the ultimatum or the list of demands reportedly presented to Netanyahu. Those conditions, however, could undermine the prime minister’s coalition ties to hard-line right-wing parties like Yisrael Beiteinu and Shas, as well as provoke strong criticism from within his own Likud faction. In case Netanyahu still fails to understand the situation, a U.S. official told Reuters yesterday that the Israeli leader’s rightist coalition leaves him in a “perilous” situation.

    The prime minister has reached the moment of truth, where he must choose between his ideological beliefs and political cooperation with the right on one hand, and his need for American support on the other. [...................]

  10. If the Jews vote for Obama lets cancel out their votes by voting for Romney.

  11. Bibi is a true leader, a fierce defender of his people. Obama suffers in comparison, because it is always about him and never about us. The fact that Obama continues to embrace his failed Middle East policies are a case in point.

    Rather than provide the safest possible playing field for our brave men and women in Afghanistan and Iran, Obama’s rules of engagement favor the enemy. How many Americans have to die, because of the bizarre anti-American policies of this man, before Americans wake up to the fact that he is woefully ill-suited for our highest office?

    By now the Congress, Democrat and Republican members of both the House and the Senate, should have demanded his presence to explain his administrations diplomatic actions in both Libya and Egypt. Just the fact that we have given billions to these two hellholes, only to have Libyan and Egyptian leaders enable attacks on our embassies and the killing of Americans is enough reason for Congress to do so.

    The polls say Obama still has strong support, which means their is a fifth column in America that seeks the end of our Democratic way of life. This is no joke. The enemy is within our midst and Holder’s DOJ is on its side,

  12. You can’t keep poking the horse without some sort of repercussions.

    Islam has been treated better then our Allie Israel. Why? Because Obama was worried something like this week’s events would happen?

    well, OBAMA THEY HAVE AND THERE IS BLOOD ON THIS ADMINISTRATION HANDS.

    Not protecting our embassies on 9/11 of all the days. Not meeting with Netanyaha.

    Obama and all his surrogates are blaming a MOVIE. This is the time for America to take note and remember our vote is one of the MOST IMPORTANT thing we can do. Our national security is at risk. THEY BLAME A MOVIE. SHAMEFUL

  13. Sean, #2: the answer to that is choice B.

    Obama knows what he’s doing. He is not incompetent. He is in with the Soviets. More and more people are realizing that. He has been installed here, trained over many years, to take America down. That’s his mission.

    And he’s doing a bloody good job of it, I’d say.

  14. Even on this site where it’s preaching to the choir you get the “he is ill suited for our highest office” really? He is not there for us. He is there against us. He hates this country. Hey Hannity, he hates this country. Say that instead of the he is incompetent line.

  15. Every Jewish voter that voted Obama needs to pat themselves on the back. They have put Israel in an impossible situation. They have put the USA into an impossible position.

    Thanks. Yep. You deserve special mention.

  16. “…And you cannot let them cross the goal line.”

    Left up to Obie, they will, and the last few yards will meet with no resistance.

  17. I don’t dislike him…

    I do. The disrespect he shows for this country, its allies (what few we have left), the repeated deference to America’s enemies, the rampant cronyism, the blatant lying, the constant fanning of the flames of class-warfare, the selective enforcement of our laws, the irresponsible spending, the seemingly non-stop demonizing of his opponents, and more.

    When he’s finally voted out of office, I want to see the bastard prosecuted, along with his buddy Eric Holder, and upon conviction, thrown in the slammer for the rest of their miserable lives.

  18. I believe that Israel has the right to defend themselves and since Obama won’t help them or even talk with them instead makes his stupid time to talk with Muslims instead deserves what he gets when he is ousted in November.and I say shame on the Jews here in the US what are they thinking when in their hearts know it will be the end of their country of birth.I say go Israel and god bless the next president mitt Romney who will finally stand up for the US and it’s allies instead of supporting countries who supports terrorism

  19. Israel has an all-lie, his nick is obongo.
