Piers Morgan Tells Israeli Defense Minister Obama 'Would Prefer' No Action on Iran Before Election
Just how in the tank for Barack Obama is CNN's Piers Morgan?
During an interview with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak Wednesday, Morgan actually said to his guest concerning Iran, "President Obama clearly would prefer not to see Israel take any action before the election" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: President Obama clearly would prefer not to see Israel take any action before the election. So there is a time sensitivity here. He would see that as politically dangerous for his presidency, and you would be aware of that. How much does that factor into your military planning on Israel’s behalf, that the President of the United States has an election coming in November?
So, in Morgan's view, Israel's national security calculus should involve America's election.
It seems quite doubtful he'd feel that way if the current White House resident were a Republican.
Maybe biased statements like this are responsible for Morgan getting only 39,000 viewers aged 25 to 54 Tuesday, a fifteen year low for CNN.
For the record, this was Barak's answer:
EHUD BARAK: You know, first of all, we are trying to avoid letting it slip into anything that carries a certain relationship to internal politics into here or in Israel. But we basically share the same rhetoric. We say loud and clear, the Americans say the same, the President says the same, a nuclear, military Iran is unacceptable. We are determined to prevent them from turning nuclear, and that no option, except for containment, no option should be removed off the table in order to achieve these objectives. Basically, we are on the same page.

And when did Hacker Morgan start his State Department job?

If he is not an employee of the State Department and specifically authorized to say that, he should shut his mouth.
I can't help but think he came to the US to avoid prosecution and notoriety for the hacking scandal.

Apparantly, LongWalk/ShortPiers....................Fackhead ZoobaDooba...........Martin the Turkish Basher..........as well as a whole cadre of American psuedo-newspeople are representatives of the Boy Baraka REGIME, and are qualified to tell anybody and everybody what our Dear Leader and Most Holy Messiah - blessed by HIS name - wants and needs to happen, or not happen.
Well, we allready know that Baraka has no use for the Constitution, the Supreme Court, Congress, or any other aspect of American government that might come between him and his agenda....................so I guess it also now includes the State Department, the Defense Department, the Military, and any other organizaton that might have different ideas on how to run things than he does.
And, as we have been told many times, he IS the smartest person to EVER become President - so we should just do what he says - after all, in his delusional and brainwashed mind, if he says it - IT IS!!!!
So, Piers, what's your point?

It's a "time sensitivity" issue for Obama, Piers, not Israel.
I doubt the Israelis are thinking Gee, I wonder how this or that would affect Barack Obama's chances for reelection!
Especially since he hasn't promised them anything after the election, when he has "more flexibility."

If I remember, it's pretty good, and not the kind of thing we'd see here in the PC-USSA, although I think that has started to change, now that more and more people have figured out Boy Baraka and his insidious and self-appointed agenda - and also, that it is NOT about 'race', despite what the PC police and the StateRun Media try to tell us. (Well, to them it IS about 'race', because they can't cover his sorry ass on the important issues.)

If they tell ANYONE in the regime, it will be on the way to Iran Intelligence before they can hang up the phone.
If Israel waits "until after the election," they will find out exactly what Bambi means when he says that he'll have "more flexibility."
Israel has had Iran's number for years.

See the photo of the Headquarters of Iran Air, at Tehran International Airport.
Then there is this, "four senior diplomats and military intelligence officers say that the United States has concluded that Israel has recently been granted access to airbases on Iran’s northern border".
So, they're fully justified in keeping Baracka's regime at arm's length.

As you probably know, before my dad attended Georigia Tech, he is a Marine who fought in Korea.
Notice I didn't say he was a Marine.
I have a cousin who was a SEAL officer, an uncle who was a Naval Aviator in Korea, and ancestors, uncles, as well as cousins and other family members, who served in combat in wars dating back to the American Revolution
As such, my tolerance for stinking commie pukes is about zilch.
Actually, it's less than zilch.
I also have a grandfather's brother that was a pall bearer at a president's funeral, and is himself interned at Arlington.

Submitted by DaChew on Thu, 05/17/2012 - 9:00am.
What's interesting is not the premise of what Morgan was asking but the response by Ehud Barak. Think about what your first thought would've been - "Well, if Obama wanted us to be sensitive to his political schedule, maybe he shouldn't have treated our Prime Minister like garbage". What I would've expected Ehud to say would be something along the lines of, "Obviously, we prefer to work with the President to avoid confrontations and solve these issues diplomatically at all times regardless of whether there is an election coming but we must have the safety of our people as our highest priority. We have elections too, you know." He took a far more diplomatic route than most people would've given the contempt with which Obama has treated them.
