Stand with Israel Now...!

Friends,

Reports today leaked by officials in the Obama Administration indicate the President’s strong aversion to an Israeli attack on Iran.  These actions by the White House gives Iran valuable intelligence on Israeli planning, while simultaneously damaging relations between Israel and its few allies in the region.  These events obviously send a strong message to Israel and its leadership that this President does NOT have Israel’s back when it comes to a military option.

The report is based on information from multiple anonymous U.S. officials saying Iran’s neighbor Azerbaijan has granted Israel access to its airbases in case of an attack on Iran.  Azerbaijan officials have of course denied this, not wanting to start any conflict with Iran, its neighbor.

According to Wednesday's report, senior U.S. officials claim that the Israel Air Force would be given access to land in Azerbaijan in the event of an Iran strike. "The Israelis have bought an airfield," a senior U.S. administration official told Foreign Policy magazine's Mark Perry, "and the airfield is called Azerbaijan." Azerbaijan's defense ministry denied the claims, according to an AFP report. "This information is absurd and groundless," the AFP reported a defense ministry spokesman, Teymur Abdullayev, as saying, while citing a senior official at Azerbaijan's presidential administration as saying that the allegations were "aimed at damaging relations between Azerbaijan and Iran."

If President Obama believed that Israel should act in its own security interests and he truly agreed that all options are on the table, why would the same anonymous source say this:

"We're watching what Iran does closely," one of the U.S. sources, an intelligence officer engaged in assessing the ramifications of a prospective Israeli attack confirmed. "But we're now watching what Israel is doing in Azerbaijan. And we're not happy about it." Foreign Policy Magazine

The Obama administration is not happy that Israel is working with its allies in the region to strengthen its security ties?

Not happy that Israel is possibly positioning itself better for a military option that the President himself says is on the table?

Why would the administration openly leak secrets to harm not only Israel, but Azerbaijan, except because they desperately want to avoid any military scenario?

Why would the administration show its hand to the Iranians, who now must know the hesitancy the President has for any military option?

Sign the Petition Now, We Stand With Israel, in opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran and for America's national security.



Former Ambassador John Bolton echoed this view to Fox News today:

Former U.S. diplomat John Bolton alleged Thursday that the Obama administration leaked a story about covert Israeli activity in order to foil potential plans by the country to attack Iran's nuclear program…"Clearly, this is an administration-orchestrated leak," Bolton told FoxNews.com. "This is not a rogue CIA guy saying I think I'll leak this out." "It's just unprecedented to reveal this kind of information about one of your own allies."   FoxNews.Com

Negotiations will start next month with Iran over its nuclear program, but Iran must be feeling better by the day knowing that this administration will do all it can, including leaks in the media, to pressure Israel not to attack.  We must Stand With Israel now more than ever.
