Just whose side was this man on? Yes, of course, he was just
trying to avoid a costly war with Iran. That’s why he gave the mullahs billions
that they used to finance jihad terrorist groups.
“Report: Obama Administration Stopped Israel From Assassinating Soleimani
in 2015,” by Tyler O’Neil, PJ Media, January 3,
2020:
When President Donald Trump gave the order to kill Iran’s Quds
Force leader Qasem Soleimani, he not only made an arguably proportionate
response to the invasion of the U.S. Embassy this week but he also reversed a
policy of the Obama administration. According to a report from 2018, Israel was
“on the verge” of assassinating Soleimani in 2015, but Obama’s officials foiled
the plan. In fact, they reached out to Iran with news of Israel’s
plans.
The Trump administration, on the other hand, gave Israel a green light
to assassinate Soleimani, according to a January 1, 2018 report from the
Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. The paper quoted a source in Jerusalem as
saying that “there is an American-Israeli agreement” that Soleimani is a
“threat to the two countries’ interests in the region.” According to Haaretz, Al-Jarida
is generally assumed to be a platform for the Israeli government to disseminate
its message to other Middle Eastern governments.
According to the report, the agreement between Israel and the U.S.
came three years after Washington thwarted an Israeli attempt to kill the
Iranian general.
“The report says Israel was ‘on the verge’ of assassinating
Soleimani three years ago, near Damascus, but the United States warned the
Iranian leadership of the plan, revealing that Israel was closely tracking the
Iranian general,” Haaretz reported.
The incident “sparked a sharp disagreement between the Israeli and
American security and intelligence apparatuses regarding the issue.” That
sounds like an understatement.
President Barack Obama frequently snubbed Israel, considered by
many to be America’s best ally in the Middle East. Yet the news that the
Obama’s administration prevented Israel from assassinating the Quds Force
leader seems particularly significant, since the Obama administration also kept
a list of approximately 500 American soldiers
who were murdered by Iranian IEDs. Since the Quds Force spearheads Iran’s
operations outside the Islamic Republic, Soleimani would arguably be responsible
for all of those deaths.
When Trump finally gave the order to kill the Quds Force leader,
it came after multiple attacks against Americans and American facilities in
Iraq — attacks that arguably traced back to Soleimani himself….
There is much more. Read the rest here.
We had this news back in 2015.
“‘Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike,'” by Mark Langfan, Israel National News, January 3, 2015:
The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti
newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli
military attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to
shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
Following Obama’s threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was
reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.
According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision
to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United
States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program
and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel’s back.
The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good
ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State
John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets
before they could reach their targets in Iran.
Al-Jarida quoted “well-placed” sources as saying that Netanyahu,
along with Minister of Defense Moshe Yaalon, and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor
Liberman, had decided to carry out airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear program
after consultations with top security commanders.
According to the report, “Netanyahu and his commanders agreed
after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army’s chief of staff,
Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran’s nuclear program.
In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do
to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an
agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel’s security.”
The sources added that Gantz and his commanders prepared the
requested plan and that Israeli fighter jets trained for several weeks in order
to make sure the plans would work successfully. Israeli fighter jets reportedly
even carried out experimental flights in Iran’s airspace after they managed to
break through radars.
Brzezinski’s idea
Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically
campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if
they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just
going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to
former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.
“We
have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over,
you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No
one wishes for this but it could be a ‘Liberty’ in reverse.’”…

Obama's
$1.7 Billion Tribute to Iran Paid
in Cash
https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/09/07/confirmed-obamas-entire-1-7-billion-tribute-iran-paid-cash/
Sep 7, 2016 On Tuesday, the Obama administration finally
admitted something its critics had long suspected: The entire $1.7 billion tribute paid to Iran was tendered in cash — not
just the initial $400 million infamously shipped to the Iranians in a cargo
plane — at the same moment four American hostages were released.
