Obama Tells Iran, "Don't Worry Israel is On Her Own" Remember when President Obama said that he would have Israel's back? Now he is thrusting a knife in it. The United States has indirectly informed Iran, via two European nations, that it would not back an Israeli strike against the country's nuclear facilities, as long as Tehran refrains from attacking American interests in the Persian Gulf, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday. According to the report, Washington used covert back-channels in Europe to clarify that the US does not intend to back Israel in a strike that may spark a regional conflict. This come on top of the news coming from the UN there that Iran now has more than 2,100 uranium enrichment centrifuges at the Fordow site, twice as many as there were in May. Even more disturbing is the UN report that Iran also increased its stockpile of higher grade uranium, which is not pure enough to build a bomb but more enriched than the material used in civilian reactors. Gee I wonder what that is for? At the same time Iran keeps threatening Israel with destruction. For example, two weeks ago Brig.- Gen. Gholamreza Jalali, the head of Iran's Passive (civil) Defense Organization and a former commander of the Revolutionary Guards, who during a speech ahead of Al-Quds Day, an anti-Israel event initiated by Iran, said that in order to liberate Palestine there was no other option but to destroy Israel. "[Al-Quds Day] is a reflection of the fact that no other way exists apart from resolve and strength to completely eliminate the aggressive nature and to destroy Israel," Jalali said, according to a report by Iran¹s ISNA news agency. According to the Yedioth Ahronoth report the US is trying to cut a deal with Iran, that says the US will not get involved with an Israeli strike as long as Iran doesn't attack any US military installations. To be honest I do not believe that Israel wants any US help. But the fact that we are telling Iran we will not support Israel makes Iran more steadfast in its desire to build a nuclear weapon and an Israeli action more likely.

"What makes the "total return equity swap" potentially perilous for Romney, however, is the use of foreign accounts to avoid taxes, which is what many Americans suspect him of doing. Despite the accounts that he has maintained in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Bermuda and other tax havens, Romney's campaign has repeatedly denied, with little credibility, that his wealth was invested abroad to evade taxes."The proof may well lie within the tax returns that he is so determined to conceal." They should report him to the IRS Fraud Hotline. They'll pay up to 30% of the recovery.
