Got your back, Bibi
Bam: We support Israel vs. Iran
By S.A. MILLER – 3 March, 2012 – NY Post

WASHINGTON — President Obama yesterday upped the ante in the Iran standoff by warning “I don’t bluff” about military strikes to stop its nuke program.

The tough talk preceded a high-stakes meeting Monday between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who have been at odds about whether or when to bomb Iran’s alleged nuclear sites.

“I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don’t bluff,” Obama told The Atlantic magazine in an interview published yesterday.

He said he would make sure Netanyahu knows that the US “has Israel’s back.”

The comments were aimed as much at Obama’s audience at home as at Israel and Iran.

The president wants to placate Jewish voters who are skeptical about his support for Israel and fend off Republican critics who say he is too soft on Iran.

Obama will address the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee AIPAC tomorrow before hosting Netanyahu at the White House. Netanyahu also will give a speech at AIPAC.
