This cartoon is completely off the mark. Israel has worked non-stop to avoid this doomsday scenario and addressing Iran in a proactive fashion is simply common sense.
It's foolish to wait until Iran has a nuclear weapon and begins to follow through on it's threats to use it. Will HuffPo still be blaming Israel then? Probably.

Will someone help me clarify why Israely politicians can criticize the PM and own him but, not one single politician in this country dares to do the same?
Oldman_Wes: Will someone help me clarify why Israely politicians can criticize
I meant not as a gaf but openly. Most of the time they (criticisms) are in the same leage of "now, now behave yourself". Israelies are as strong on him as politicians here are on Obama.
Obviously you have strong feelings about this as well as a personal interest. Where as my view on the whole Israel middle east issues are; well they are not aligned with your views.
Shalom! and I really mean that'

Netanyahu's remarks clearly intend to drag us into whatever adventures Israel wishes to pursue. It's the tail wagging the dog, and that is exactly the kind of situation that creates world wars.
Remember the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand.

GOLDBERG: What would your position be if Israel weren't in this picture?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: It would still be a profound national-security interest of the United States to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
GOLDBERG: Why, then, is this issue so often seen as binary, always defined as Israel versus Iran?
I want to make clear that when we travel around the world and make presentations about this issue, that's not how we frame it. We frame it as: this is something in the national-security interests of the United States and in the interests of the world community. And I assure you that Europe would not have gone forward with sanctions on Iranian oil imports -- which are very difficult for them to carry out, because they get a lot of oil from Iran -- had it not been for their understanding that it is in the world's interest, to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
1. Israel reserves the right to strike Iran if need be, Netanyahu said.
2. President Obama today assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “the United States will always have Israel’s back when it comes to Israel’s security.”
3. Netanyahu emphasized unity, saying that Israel and America stand together, complete with a Beatles-esque flourish that “we are you, and you are us; we’re together.”
So when Israel (the tail) bombs Iran (wags), what will the US (the dog) do?
We will be sucked right into the morass.
DocJoseph: This is how the tail wags the dog: 1. Israel
Some are still thinking big about the rightness and even righteousness of the Iraq war, of course, for themselves only. Couldn't it be nice for the nation to have a specific war tax on those with such 'warheads'? After all, there're a great deal many who are against these unjust, unnecessary, and repugnant crusade-style wars. It's biblically unplanetary to use such people's taxed dollars to fight others' preferred, unlawful wars.

"The Iraq War was perfectly lawful?!" LMAO! Chanting lies about WMD, Yellow Cake and Mushroom Clouds with falsified intelligence in front of the United Nations doesn't make anything "lawful." More like a lynch mob from the old South.

I heard israelies get automatic duel citizenship when they are born. Can anyone find out if that is true. It would explain why we have so many duel citizenship israel and american in our congress. I can think of rahm, cantor ,lieberman and during bush reign at least 50 more..
all with israel interest above america..I sure hope this is not true.But would explain a lot

Its a good depiction of what it must be like dealing with Netanyahu. The next move should have been flipping over the chess board and telling him that he's on his own.

President Obama should make the same deal with Iran that President Kennedy made with Cuba.
In that deal Cuba agreeded to give up nuclear weapons in return for America promising never to invade the country. For almost 50 years this has kept nukes out of Cuba.
If we could keep nukes out of Iran for 50 years that would be fantastic.

Netanyahu: Boom. Bang a bang. Wail….. Rat-tat-tat. Weeeee…
Obama: Personally Ben. I can’t say that I’m over impressed by your entry for the Middle-East Vision Song Contest. But have you run it past god yet?

Excellent depiction, only Obama was not wearing ear plugs. Unfortunate that he has to suffer this fool. Obama knows him only too well. Unlikable chap, and arrogant to the max!

Just a thought...Mutations happen all the time. Imagine being among the earliest Homo sapiens to emerge, and feeling very out-of-place. How do you know there aren't others among you even now? Not all of us are the same. :)

That about says it all...
What is "biblically unplanetary"?
Psst, the Iraq war was perfectly "lawful." Libya, on the other hand, was a war in which our President violated the Constitution.

Cantor and Lieberman don't have dual citizenship either, they're just israel-firsters.
But he is smarter than that, and has more self-control.
