The U.S. is scrambling to save face. Israel does not trust the United States administration, and would not have shared jacksh*t with the current occupant of the White House, or any of his minions. Israel neither sought nor needed the consent, approval or logistical support of the United States. And we very definitely did not want Obama to pick up the phone to his new BFF, Rouhani. Which, it goes without saying, is PRECISELY what Obama would have done. In about a nanosecond. No, the U.S. administration did nothing because it was deliberately kept in the dark. Nice attempt to recover by the U.S.; no sale. What Netanyahu should do now is call an immediate press conference and spend 45 minutes gushing to the world press about how essential the United States was to Israel's successful interdiction of the KLOS-C, and how we could not have gotten the job done without the United States, and how grateful we are to our loyal ally, the United States for everything it did [NOT] do, and so on and so forth, ad nauseum. Make Obama squirm with humiliation.

hmmm Sarah, place this detail in the proper snarling context if you would.

Obama pumps his chest like a school bully.

...or is it a case Obama trying to bask in reflected glory? THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Someone tell me this a lie. The white house cooperating with Israel? Must be an early purim spiel? My world is uoside down...next you'll tell me the earth is round and dinosaurs did not walk with adam and eve? In any event call hakavod to tzahal and thanks America for the assist!

Way ahead of you, sluggo. As usual. Except it's a bit difficult to snarl at the predictable shenanigans of the current administration -- too busy laughing. Israel announced what it had done. And nowhere in its press releases were the words "United States" mentioned. That's because the United States first heard about the incident AFTER the fact. I think Israel informed a number of countries before getting around to calling the White House. Obama's pretty far down on our "need to know" list. And if you believe anything that comes out of this White House, you're a bigger fool than I thought.

LOL! Good one!

Wait until Israel destroys the Iranian nukes.. obama will claim it was his idea. BUILDING BABY !!!

Oh Mr. Carney you should be ashamed, your wording gave you away. Israel saves the world AGAIN and you and dumbo want to steal Israel's thunder. What a pair of slime ball a**holes. KEEP BUILDING NOTHING MAKES BOTH oybama AND THE pals MORE FURIOUS.!!!!

US should shut up about methods. Let the results speak for themselves.

..he can,even though he doesn't deserve it...what a path etic man

The ship should have been sunk. As Lawrence of Arabia once said, "NO PRISONERS! NO PRISONERS!"

this weapon sheep not mean contue build setelments mester presedent Netenyaho its mean open Gaza border soon its hemany step to save human rights in Gaza

Israel detected the ship, not the US. Only Israel launched an intercept, not Obama. "Israel ultimately chose to take the lead" - Obama was NEVER going to order an intercept, that's what "contingency" meant, Obama was going to tell Iran the ships cover was blown, and to turn it around. Here is the proof of the phony Obama claim - Obama will certainly maked no effort to have additional tougher UN sanctions imposed on Iran for violating past UN arms trafficking sanctions, and will also continue to furiously oppose Congress imposing additional sanctions if the UN doesn't. WATCH Obama oppose punishing Iran. And watch Obama demand that Israel release the Iranian ship and Iranian crew. Watch Obama hysterically criticize Israel if they do the logical thing - bomb to rubble Sudan's only port facility, preventing more smuggling. WATCH, for proof that Obama's only concern is protecting Iran, the foreign policy focus of his last 5 years in office.

what is our pansy president going to do about Iran's unacceptable behavior? He is truly beyond contempt.

Racist colours.

Yes. John Kerry was following the ship in an inflatable dinghy named "Rambo Wariorrr," armed with a polite request not to give advanced missiles to Hamas, "pretty please with sugar on top?" It is notable that the Obama administration does nothing but sabotage its allies, and yet tries to take credit after Israel (or France or someone else) does the hard and dangerous work.

What is racist about simply stating the obvious: Obama is a bumbling, inept clown, ill suited to the presidency of the United States. Ineligible for the presidency, too, I might add. Constitutionally barred from being president. Barry Soetero is just a great, big fraud. He regaled everyone at Columbia and at Harvard Law School with stories of his birth in Kenya. Was he lying then? Or is he lying now? Is it racist to call him a liar? Because if he was born in Kenya, as he has claimed, he is ineligible to be president. So -- is that racist, too? Or is it merely requiring the president of the United States to be subject to the United States Constitution?

So how would you explain the large movement of blacks who say the same as those above when it comes to Obama. The fact is that reverse racism has been used since Obama first appeared on the map. Anytime anyone speaks up against Obamas POLICIES, instead of focusing on the fact that they are usually right, you and other Obamabots jump on the racism bandwagon. If you actually had something viable to say you wouldn't be preaching.

When Kuwait and other Arab open their gates you will have the right to talk about human rights.

Sad excuse for a leader, let alone the leader of the free world

it has absolutely nothing to do with obama's race. it has everything to do with his policies in general, and in the case of israel, with policies that are inimical and hostile and contrary to israel's national security interests.

Are you sure it was an inflatable dinghy? Could it have been a SWIFT boat? You know -- just like the one he did not command in Viet Nam.

Naval affairs & the boarding of ships is not exactly an Israeli strength as we have seen in the past. Of course you coordinated the matter with the US. There in reserve to stave off scenarios that prove to be beyond Israeli ability to handle. It is always thus.
