More "Help" for Israel from Obama

ABC News is reporting that the Obama administration has leaked word to the press that Israel has obtained permission from Azerbaijan to use bases in that country to launch a strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. For those of you who are not familiar with Azerbaijan, it is a small country which is on the northern border of Iran. Were Israel to actually launch a strike against Iran from Azerbaijan, all of the difficulties due to the distance between Israel and Iran would be overcome at once. Also, were the Israeli planes to come into Iran from the north, it would have taken the Iranians by surprise. In short, using bases in Azerbaijan would have given the Israelis much better chances for success against the Iranian nuclear facilities and greatly reduced the casualties suffered by Israel in the attack.

So why would president Obama and his people leak the news of the Azerbaijan bases? Most people believe that it was done to head off the Israeli attack by exposing the plan ahead of time. Obama, who claims the he will "always have Israel's back" has just stuck a knife in that back. Obama is desperate to prevent Israel from attacking Iran until after the US elections, so he is prepared to sacrifice Israel for electoral success.
