Obama told China: I can't stop Israel strike on Iran indefinitely

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1135730.html


U.S. President Barack Obama has warned his Chinese counterpart that the United States would not be able to keep Israel from attacking Iranian nuclear installations for much longer, senior officials in Jerusalem told Haaretz.

They said Obama warned President Hu Jintao during the American's visit to Beijing a month ago as part of the U.S. attempt to convince the Chinese to support strict sanctions on Tehran if it does not accept Western proposals for its nuclear program.

11. Politically he can do nothing
If Israel makes the decision to bomb Iran he has two options

1) Shoot down their planes
2) Cut off aid

Both political parties are strong supporters of Israel. Doing either of those things would bring him faster before an impeachment hearing than fucking Monica Lewinsky on the White House lawn in front of a christian grade school class from the South.

Honestly, there is nothing politically he could do.

That isn't going into the international reasons he can't do it, just domestic.
