Transcription:

S: "Meanwhile Istraeli Prime minister Netanyahu has made it clear that he agreed with President Obama to give till the end of the year for this whole process of engagement to work, after that he's prepared to take matters into his own hands - is that the right approach?"

B: "Look, Israel can determine for itself as a sovereign nation what's in their interests and what they decide to do relative to Iran or anyone else."

S: "Whether we agree or not?"

B: "Whether we agree or not - they are entitled to do that - any sovereign nation is entitled to do that, but there is no pressure, from any nation, that's going to alter our behaviour as to how to proceed."

"What we believe is in the national interest of the US, which we coincidentally believe is also in the interest of Israel and the whole world."

"And so there are separate issues. If the Netanyahu governemtn decides to take a course of action different to the one being pursued now that is their sovereign right to do that, That is not our choice."

S: "But just to be clear here: if the Israelies decide Iran is an existential threat, they have to take out the nuclear program militarily, the United States wil not stand in their way?"

B: "Look, we cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do when they make a dtermination, if they make a determination, if they make a determination that they're existentially threatened and their survival is threatened by another country."

S: "You say we can't dictate but we can if we choose to, deny over flight rights here - there are ways we can stand in the way of a military strike."

B: "I'm not going to specualte George, on ah, on those issues other than to say Israel has a right to determine what's in it's interests, and we have a right and we will detemine what is in our interests."

FUCK the Bush-Administration!

FUCK OBAMA! FUCK New World order!

Fuck AIPAC Zionist Lobby! All these criminals in the White house are WAR MONGERS!

Americans, be on the alert! They are gonna drag you into another WAR that will kill MILLIONS.

Iran is not a powerless nation, if Israel bombs Iran, Iran will bomb us back, Europe, USA, Israel, and then Millions will die, probably WORSE.

Rothschild, Rockefeller, JP Morgan & the rest of the Banksters are the real reason for ALL WARS.

Attacking Iran would be stupid. It would just give legitimation to any islamists who seek to defeat Israel instead of resolving the disputes amicably.

Iran is no threat, they even helped the US in the initial phase of Iraq war.

Bush failed to gain control over Afghanistan (the Taliban retreated from the cities and invaded parts of Pakistan instead, and still control rural areas).

And now Israel wants to control Iran, which has, unlike Afghanistan, well-armed troops?

That's absurd.

[IAmOpenMinded]

This is absurd. Israel wants to "tango" with Iran? Guess what?  The Iranians have been telling both Israel, and the US, "come on down" and so far it's nothing but , "blah, blah, blah"! But in a way, that's a "good thing", and hopefully, it won't go past that.

@thecynthia1985 That can never happen. many would want it but it will, never happen. never again will the jews be put out of the promised land. these are the oldest title deeds in the world, written by the highest court. and the highest judge God almighty. Who can stand against Gods people?
