Report: US offered Israel advanced weaponry in exchange for delaying Iran attack until 2013, after US elections in November this year. Reported by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, which cited unnamed Western diplomatic and intelligence sources.

  • "Dear Leader" would much rather get reelected, then worry about Iran nuking a US city, thus the attempt at a bribe. Too bad the much more pragmatic Israelis have decided to rat him out for their own protection.

  • I cannot believe I am about to say this, but here goes.
    I hope Israel takes a page from the Muslim play book, takes the money (advanced weaponry)....and ATTACKS BEFORE THE ELECTION using the weapons they were bribed with.

    Hey, if it's good enough for our "Muslim allies", it should be good enough for our true friends in the region.

    • AMEN!
      Trial lawyers are allowed to call witnesses and treat them as "hostile", this is exactly how Israel and Netanyahu need to be treating the US. Take what they give but act in your own interest without restriction.

      Israel is our BEST ally, yet we continue to restrain and abuse her. One day we will find ourselves without this great friend. Everyone who has ever stood against Israel has been damaged as a nation.

  • Barry doesn't want his re-election campaign disrupted by reality. Might curtail all those fund-raisers.
