what i do appreciate is Obama making a point to PUBLICLY say to israel, if it wants to assert the NPT as the basis to investigate allegations of iranian nuclear weapons making, then israel must also become an NPT signatory (and make its own arsenal subject to the same UN inspection)
That bold part? He didn't say that.
When asked about Israel's nuclear program, Obama at first refused to address the issue, instead insisting to talk about the US and its commitment to reducing American nuclear weapon stockpiles.
"Initially you were talking about US behavior, and then suddenly we're talking about Israel. Let me talk about the United States," the president said. "I do think that as part of the NPT, our obligation, as the largest nuclear power in the world, is to take steps to reducing our nuclear stockpile. And that's what the START treaty was about, sending a message that we are going to meet our obligations…as far as Israel goes, I'm not going to comment on their program.
However, although initially saying he will not address Israel's nuclear program, Obama continued, pointing out that the US is calling on all nations to sign the NPT.
"What I'm going to point to is the fact that consistently we have urged all countries to become members of the NPT. So there's no contradiction there," he said. "And so whether we're talking about Israel or any other country, we think that becoming part of the NPT is important. And that, by the way, is not a new position. That's been a consistent position of the United States government, even prior to my administration."
That bold part? That's what he ACTUALLY said. Why didn't he say what you claim? Well, I explained clearly and with a current example, earlier in this thread, why saying that would be stupid and self-defeating for both the UN and the US.
Why do you make things up? Obama is not an idiot, he would not say what you claimed he did.
would appear the thought of sticking something up bibi's anus got you stimulated
Creepy.
