Obama in Israel

Stepping back a day in "the trip...."
Obama reportedly told Olmert that he is interested in meeting the Iranians in order to issue clear ultimatums. "If after that, they still show no willingness to change their nuclear policy, then any action against them would be legitimate," an Israeli source quoted him as saying.


Single sourced, in Haaretz, so judge it for what you will.

  • As I probably made clear, I'm a little suspicious that "any action against them" is probably phrased for effect by the source, but yeah.

  • I guess it also depends what he means by ultimatum. Hard to see the UN issuing anything strong enough to satisfy the Israelis.

  • Agreed. Especially with the Russians and Chinese protecting them.
