7. Israel is going to be so pissed.;.Obama just lit a match....
in the ME as far as Israel is concerned. This Gaza business is just the beginning. Things could get pretty ugly between this administration and the Israeli one.
Iran must be gleeful over this and sticking their middle finger up in gesture to Israel.
Now that Obama is playing nice and polite with the Iranians, it's anyone's guest as to how things will play out.
Personally, I think this reply on Obama's part is appropriate and necessary to ease any tensions.
I'm sure the administration is not so stupid though as to accept everything that comes out of Iran at face value. They'll have to tread carefully here because of Iran's support and command over Hamas and Hezbollah. As a state that advocates terrorism, it's a precarious situation. But then , the U.S. govt supports it too when it's beneficial so they're in the same arena.
Israel will probably make some heavy handed ultimatums to the U.S. and if they don't comply, Israel may just take matters into their own hands soon.
Maybe cause an international incident of some kind which of course involves Iran. A provocation at sea. Something like that. I'm guessing in the next few weeks, something will occur to stir the pot over there. Break up the little tea party going on right now.
