The usual suspect blogs are reporting as "fact" (as "reported" by a source of a source of a source somewhere in the Middle East) that O'Bama told Israel that he'd shoot down Israeli aircraft if they attempted to bomb Iran's nuclear weapons sites.
The truth is somewhat less inflamatory. In 2009 a story appeared, written by ABC News...
The national security adviser for former President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, gave an interview to The Daily Beast in which he suggested President Obama should make it clear to Israel that if they attempt to attack Iran's nuclear weapons sites the U.S. Air Force will stop them.
"We are not exactly impotent little babies," Brzezinski said. "They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch? … We have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse."
This old story appears to be the "source" of the rumor seized upon by Fux Noise and Brietfart, and others. Time for psychologists to assign a DSM page for O'Bamaphobia.
