I watched the news last night and I must tell you, I was on the edge of my seat and my eyes were fixed as I listened to Benjamin Netanyahu speak. I was so impressed with his frank discussion on what he thought his top priority was as the Prime Minster of Israel. He made it very clear to me, that his first responsibility and indeed, his top priority was the protection and preservation of the nation of Israel. I got the feeling he would do what ever he thought was necessary to insure Israel's survival should Iran's efforts to develop nuclear weapons prove to be successful. I didn't get the impression he was asking the United States permission before he would take any action to protect Israel. I was left with the impression he was merely informing this nation that he would protect Israel with or without any help from the United States.He reminded my of John Wayne for he appeared to me to be a man with true grit.
The Prime Minister, acknowledged his appreciation for President Obama's pledge of support of the nation of Israel. I too have heard the President in recent days say that all options dealing with Iran remain on the table.The President, stated in so many words that he was not bluffing when he said he would take whatever steps were necessary to insure that Iran would not succeed in their effort to develop nuclear weapons. Yes, I heard the Presidents words, words however are only words unless they are followed by deeds which give them solid validity. Show me a man who talks tough, and I'll tell you what kind of man he appears to be. Let me see what a man does after he has spoken, and I'll tell not only what kind of man he is but, who he really is. I guess for now, I along with the rest of the nation will wait to see how Iran responds I have heard they now wish to resume talks with the United States, but why do I get the feeling that this new desire on Iran's part to start talking is based not so much on President Obama's words but rather Prime Minister Netanyahu's stern resolve to protect the nation of Israel no matter what. I just have the impression, that Iran knows that Prime Minister Netanyahu, says exactly what he means, and means exactly what he says and Iran seems to know what kind of man Prime Minister Netanyahu really is. As for President Obama, I have heard his words but, I will wait to see what he does for what he does regarding Iran and Israel, will tell me more than his words ever could. as always my friends these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
