In interview, Obama says he's not bluffing on Iran
By MARK S. SMITHWASHINGTON (AP) -
President Barack Obama says he means it when he insists it's unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. "I don't bluff," Obama said in an interview published Friday.
In his most expansive remarks on the issue, Obama told The Atlantic magazine that Iran and Israel both understand that "a military component" is one of a mix of many options for dealing with Iran, along with sanctions and diplomacy.
Obama plans to meet Monday at the White House with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and will try to convince Netanyahu to postpone any plans his government may have to attack Iran's nuclear facilities in coming months.
The president said he won't advertise any U.S. plans for Iran. At the same time, Obama has consistently refused to renounce a military option for U.S. strategists.
Didn't he get elected by promising to end wars? Where are all those liberal protesters?
Osama's people are aware that no US President has lost an election while conducting a war. They need one. That little conflict in Afghanistan doesn't have enough star power.
