CNN thinks letting Iran have nukes is just “tough-love” for Israel

We knew that scruffy beard and the insane look in Mahmoud's eyes reminded us of someone, but until this moment we couldn't place who it was.

Following President Obama’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, CNN says “the Obama administration won’t waiver from the traditional unshakable commitment to Israel’s security. But the Obama administration seems to have a different view from Israel — and previous U.S. administrations — on how that security is best achieved.”

Translation: Obama won’t waiver from paying lip service to Israel’s security while doing nothing to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

Without a trace of irony, CNN awkwardly reports that Obama’s election has magically “enhanced” U.S. credibility and will charm both friends and foes and make lions lie down with lambs. “Because of the good will and enhanced credibility the election of Obama has brought the United States around the world, he can ask for more, and expect more, on this issue.”

CNN concludes that Obama’s new all-talk-no-real-support approach with allies is more “evenhanded” than the previous administration. “In short, it seems the Obama administration is going to use more of a tough-love approach to Israel, rather than just automatically siding with it.”

With tough love like this, who needs enemies?
