where All the time Israel is being closely watched by Obama and WH MB Cadres.They want to be sure that Israel is a good boy and not planning any strikes on Iranans Kerry has been a little busy with Crimea etc so Gen Dempsey is minding the store.

This understanding, or assumption is utter bullshit!

I heard the same story, 2 plus years ago at Aipac. I believe none of it. Obama will never, ever attack iran.

Sortes begin!!! G-d speed to All those pilots!

They will NEVER EVER do anything against Iran...EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS !

Just say NO to the Muslim administration

Liberal American Jews live in a world of their own creation and Mr. Carter finally got a second term.

"I think they are satisfied we have the capability. I think they believe we will use it." First of all he "thinks", which is a weak word in and of itself. Secondly, Dempsey does not even admit the US will use the military option if necessary. He keeps saying that Israel believes and that they are satisfied....

That's what Dempsey wants to believe , and that's what he want's Israel to believe.The problem with this is Israel doesn't believe it for a minute. When the time comes it will be Israel doing it, does anyone want to bet?

It is not cowardly to prevent the needless killing of Americans. Iran is no threat to the US and attacking Iran would be a huge waste of US wealth and blood. If Israel wants to attack Iran and get lots of Israelis killed, then go for it. If Iran is actually a threat to Israel then Israel should be spending its own wealth and blood and be willing to lose everything in the process. The Saudis may even be willing to fund the IDF so Israel can attack Iran for the Saudis (notice that the Saudis are only willing to spend money - you will never see any of the royal family dying on the battle field). If you want war, then do it and be man enough to accept the very negative consequences and possibly losing.

to make sure Israel will protect the Americans (support and be on the USA side) when and if the Americans are attacked by China and Russia. Dempsey is acknowledging defeat and inferiority regarding Russia and China. The only country they will not stand up against will be Israel. This is the bottom line.

Anyone who believes Obama would strike Iran to aid Israel is only kidding themselves. I'm not even sure he would strike Iran to aid America. Worse yet the far left in his party would stand behind his decision to do nothing in either case.

the U.S. has the capability, he did not say theu would ever use it The Iranians know this and one day soon will announce they have not only the weapon but also the system to deliver it. Obama's answer to the world will be it is ok because they promised him they will not use it. Haha.

The "islam" Saudis/Saudi-Arabia are/is no better than the "islam" republic of Iran. Down with the entire "islam". That Israel may exist forever and always, with Jerusalem as undivided and eternal capital, period!

Netanyahu stupidly agreed to negotiate with the PLO and surrender Israeli survival in exchange for Obama's promises to help against Iran. Now both sides agree that neither Israel nor the US have the capability for effective military action against Iran. Netanyahu now has to decide: surrender to PLO and the end of Israel, or liberate Judea and Samaria from the Arab occupation, end the PLO and ensure Israeli survival.

Israel can "liberate Judea and Samaria from the Arab occupation?" Do you have any idea what a modern war will look like on the streets of every city and town in Israel? The exact number of missiles rust dome can stop before they become useless is readily available on the Internet and that number is only a very small fraction of the 50000+ missiles pointed at Israel. Think about all the battle hardened Arab and Muslim fighters that are in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and in many other parts of the globe - The yare just as good as the IDF and have equivalent weapons. Starting a war would be about the dumbest thing Israelis could do.

to attack Iran without getting lots of Americans killed and destroying the US economy.

Iran is getting close to having nuclear weapons. Israel will then have to shoot down any Iranian nuclear missiles launched from Lebanon. If Iron Dome fails, or if any laser-based anti-missile defense fails due to a 50,000 all-at-once missile attack, with the nukes mixed into the salvo, the Israelis are in the hands of Hashem. But so are the Iranians.

Seattle looks like a perfect target for an Iranian ICBM. Duck and cover!

I am sure that Israel is not naive and foolish enough to believe in empty worthless words.

facilities, saving the world while the US picked her nose.. If Israel should attack Iran, you can pretty much believe that America will join the fray by, pre agreement. and by treaty. Iran's famous marches and rallies screaming "Death to Israel' "Death to America" make the US Iran's target as well. As you point out, the Saudi's may not fight well, ( none of the Muslim nations do ) but, they do have the coin.... Iran so far is all bluster, talk is cheap, free in fact but, when it comes to military victories and the two prior Muslim nations nuclear facilities being destroyed, Israel's the only nation on earth to have done that, not America, not Russia, just lonely, little, powerful, Israel. G-d bless her. BUSY, WHEW! BUILDING !!!!

MAN-UP for a change and just do what has to be done. They claim they have the worlds' greatest military, the most highly paid and motivated soldiers and the best technology and air force in the world. Nobody can stop Israel from bombing Iran if it really wanted to do it. Why are they pressuring the US to do it. It is time for BIBI & Yaalon to MAN-UP.

What do you bet this obvious troll is being investigated by the FBI? Seattle is too pretty a place for one idiot to harm. KEEP BUILDING !!!

5'5" ? small little feller. They can't afford a taller, braver one? His ribbons look bigger than his little chest. Did he shrink? KEEP BUILDING !!!

Isn't that why we funnel all that money into AIPAC? The last thing we want is a war against Iran--especially considering little ole Hezbollah kicked our asses. Let's face it, we talk a good game, but in reality the only people we can defeat are Palestinian children armed with rocks.

Obama is already destroying our economy. WW2 got us out of the depression. Wars are often used to stimulate the economy and that's why we didn't win in Vietnam. The purpose was to make money for certain people and corporations, not win or promote freedom. That's why our men would die to take a hill and then go home and come back days or weeks later only to fight and die to take it again. We do have the capacity to take on Iran without killing lots of Americans but we don't have a government or leadership that will do it right.
