Kuwait Paper: Obama Threatened to Fire on Israeli Planes Attacking Iran

[jakeXT]

The Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida reported Saturday that President Barack Obama stopped Israel from attacking Iran last year by threatening to down the Israeli attack plan.

The report has no confirmation from any other source and appears at first glance to be an invention of an imaginative editor. No other news site has carried the Kuwaiti newspaper report except for the Bethlehem-based Ma’an News Agency.

However, Al-Jarida is considered to be a relatively liberal publication whose editor Mohammed al-Sager previously won the International Press Freedom Award of the Committee to Protect Journalists “for courageous reporting on political and human rights issues in the face of government threats of censorship and prosecution,”


....

The media was filled with reports the past two years of Air Force training for an aerial strike on Iran.

An Israel minister, who implicitly was Avigdor Lieberman according to Al Jarida’s source, supposedly leaked the plan to the Obama administration.

1. This isn't Obama's style. This is just bullshit to stir the pot

[leveymg]

2. If it came to this, other warning actions would result, e.g. cancellation of some deliveries to/IDF

to show Netanyahu that Obama is serious. There's been so much Kabuki theater on the part of the US and Israel about Iran, hard to say how much of this sort of rumor mongering can be taken seriously, anymore.

3. No sources....just made up shit permitted to be printed by the dictators of Kuwait.

[Scootaloo]

10. Trouble is... Kuwait is really tight with the US and pretty hostile to Iran.

So I'm not sure that the Emirs would ask for this sort of article to be written.

Now I have no idea about it's actual veracity, I just don't think your theory on it is very good

[tech3149]

4. Turnabout should be fair play

Anyone remember the USS Liberty?
If any so called allied force plans an action that would undermine our efforts toward peace, we should not be constrained by the possibility of offending that ally by our actions.
I wouldn't call for a preemptive strike but would be prepared for an interventive action.

Problem is the most very worst extremist disgusting Jew hating web sites come up.

9. Do you believe the event never happened, Dave?

[Dick Dastardly]

It has to do with those who distort or even flat out lie about what occured and use it to falsely and unfairly demonize Israel.

20. Like Wikipedia? n/t
