Obama Phones Israel's Netanyahu Following Iran Nuclear Deal

[Purveyor]

President Barack Obama phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, pledging future consultations with the U.S. ally regarding the nuclear deal made between Iran and six major powers that Israel opposes on Saturday.

The White House announced the call while Obama was aboard Air Force One en route to Seattle for a fundraising event.

Netanyahu, who had warned of the deal's insufficiency in the weeks leading up to the agreement, told his cabinet the deal was a "historic mistake."

In a readout of the phone call, the White House said the president and prime minister reiterated their commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

2. well, I think they just don't want to be blown to smithereens...

but that is just my opinion. But what do I know? It isn't as though any nation has ever sincerely threatened them or declared war on them on their holiest day, right? Here, we are afraid to fart in the privacy of our homes during certain sanctified holidays, but that seems to have been no problem here.

Notice the relative silence of the Arab Nations so far...I know they're favorites with some around here. What gives d'ya think?

4. Riyadh is f'ing pissed, I have no doubt.

They will read it as a sellout by United States to Shi'ite Iran.

3. Wouldn't Iran have to test their nukes first? I think we'd know if they have a nuke once

They start testing them. Then we could take a new approach.

7. Bibi should buy more US Treasuries.

Then he'll have more say in our foreign policy, much like the Chinese do now.

China wants that Iranian oil very badly. They are now the #1 importer of oil.
