Hopefully Kosher newspaper Haaretz reports that President Obama has told Israeli PM Netanyahu that he would consider a surprise attack by Israel on Iran a really bad belated inauguration gift. And if there is one thing Obama knows, besides knowing everything about everything else, it's about bad gifts.
U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the U.S. with an Israeli military operation against Iran. The message was conveyed by a senior American official who met in Israel with Netanyahu, ministers and other senior officials. Earlier, Netanyahu's envoy visited Washington and met with National Security Adviser James Jones and with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and discussed the dialogue Obama has initiated with Tehran.
In fact Obama was so concerned that Israel would sneak up on Iran and waterboard it Dick Cheney style that he couldn't even wait till Monday, the day he is actually scheduled to meet the Israeli Premier.
Thankfully, there is nothing going on this week which might freshen some old wounds.
OH NO! I think I spoke a little too soon.
But I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. After all, the people of the middle east are famous for their restraint, aren't they?
p.s. Can you twitter from inside a home-made bunker?

I dunno. Even dumb Dick may not be all that stupid. Iran might, just might start a nucular war.
But then again, this is a guy who shot a hunting buddy...
u may just like this.
might be a little irrelevant, and well, i got bored after reading the first few paraghs, but well, that much seemed enough...
@ess: Actually, if the Bush admin had won another term or McCain wud have been Pres, they would have invaded Iran too. Although, who knows, Obama might too?
@arayan: Well, that's another extreme perspective .... kind of like fox news .. :P ...
