RUSH: This morning in Washington, the White House, Obama met with Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office. Here\u2019s a little of what Obama said.<\/p>\n
OBAMA: Our commitment to the security of Israel is rock solid. And as I\u2019ve said to the prime minister in every single one of our meetings, the United States will always have Israel\u2019s back when it comes to Israel\u2019s security.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This was Netanyahu.<\/p>\n
NETANYAHU: Israel has the right, the sovereign right to make its own decisions. I believe that\u2019s why you appreciate, Mr. President, that Israel must reserve the right to defend itself, and after all, that\u2019s the very purpose of the Jewish state, to restore to the Jewish people control over our destiny. And that\u2019s why my supreme responsibility as prime minister of Israel is to ensure that Israel remains the master of its fate.<\/p>\n
OBAMA: Iran\u2019s leaders should understand that I do not have a policy of containment; I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. (edited applause) And as I\u2019ve made clear time and again during the course of my presidency, I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And he continued. Let\u2019s listen to this.<\/p>\n
OBAMA: I would ask that we all remember the weightiness of these issues, the stakes involved for Israel, for America, and for the world. Already there\u2019s too much loose talk of war. Over the last few weeks such talk has only benefited the Iranian government, by driving up the price of oil, which they depend on to fund their nuclear program. For the sake of Israel\u2019s security, America\u2019s security, and the peace and security of the world, now is not the time for bluster. Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in and to sustain the broad international coalition we have built.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s right. Too much loose talk of war going on here, Obama says. So he tells them his policy is not one of containment, and even goes so far as to almost threaten war if necessary. And then he condemns those threatening war. It\u2019s unnecessary, we gotta stop this bluster, this loose talk. (interruption) I don\u2019t bluff? Yeah, I don\u2019t bluff. Well, that\u2019s a laugher. Obama says I don\u2019t bluff? Well, the Iranians think it\u2019s a bluff, pure and simple. And Bibi, I go back, Bibi says, (paraphrasing) “Hey, fine, Mr. President, but we reserve the sovereign right to make our decisions.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
