Peres: Israel 'supports' Obama on Iran

[Fudzy]

Israeli President Shimon Peres told US President Barack Obama on Wednesday that the Jewish state supports his effort to meet the "immediate threat" posed by Iran's nuclear programme.

"The Iranian people are not our enemies, it is the present leadership that became a threat. It turned Iran into a danger to world peace," Peres said after being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honour, by Obama.

Who was it that said Obama didn't like Israel?

Israel 'supports' Obama on Iran? I think it's the other way around actually. Israel being the instigator, Obama being their little tag along.

Your dollar theory is wrong. Mostly those states moved away from the dollar when they were already in trouble with the US. Why would they stick with the dollar in that situation?

Democracy in Iraq was always going to have the side effect of the Iranian aligned shiites taking over, because they are a majority in Iraq. If the US was always planning on a conflict with Iran, then why did they hand them Iraq?

I always understood that Israel didn't like Obama, as they see him as too 'left wing" - certainly, the most anti Obama I personally know are some of my Jewish friends, who tend to take a very conservative view of things.

"Iran is an immediate threat to world peace?"

Lol what do they put in Hummus these days?

some raw tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice (or citric acid), salt (very important), and depending on your taste buds cumin and paprika, adding canola or olive oil is optional depending on the texture you want and final desired flavour.

That's the way the right have made it seem. In reality, Obama has given his full backing for Israel over, and over, and over. But during the Republican primaries especially, they just kept at it, so I guess it's become truth to some people.

They've always been a bit stupid when it comes to intervention.

Iraq moved from dollar before iran did. Iraq made the move 2000 or 2001 i think, iran only moved in 2006.

Iraq became an enemy the day they moved their 6 odd million barrels a day to the euro. Before that they could happily slaughter their own people and happily be a dictatorship. Similar story in libya actually. Granted libya was small compared to iraq but they had idea's that would challenge the dollar trade in africa.

so why didn't the US go at Europe after they moved to the Euro?

Also why is Europe supporting the US, given that they are NATO...I mean surely nato would benefit from oil being tagged to the Euro...

Nato is a branch of the US, if the US says something they move. America has proven they will go to war to ensure oil stays in dollars. For now iran is a bit safe because most of the countries have bowed down to daddy and agreed to stop buying oil from iran and instead buy it from saudi arabia who of course sell it in dollars. Hmmm for the blinkered western supporter that is just a coincidence of course.

I don't really need to try and convince anyone, the proof lies in iraq and libya, allowed to do what they liked for decades until they wanted away from the dollar, then suddenly killing their own people and being dictators was a naughty thing to do. For decades they could happily go about their sick ways but move from the dollar, no sir that is horrific.

I don't understand your comment regarding the euro and america attacking certain european countries for changing currency, none of them used the dollar so what is the difference between the old french currency or the euro for instance? Mind boggling but perhaps you can explain.
