Comments on: Gaza, Syria: Obama’s next stop Iran? http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/gazasyria-obamas-next-stop-iran/ The Marketplace of Ideas Sun, 19 May 2013 22:23:07 +0300 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: David Ben-Ami http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/gazasyria-obamas-next-stop-iran/#comment-73774 David Ben-Ami Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:22:19 +0000 http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/?p=83886#comment-73774 Had you read further you might have discovered also JPost. And were you truly interested beyond headlines today's TOI takes the story even farther with Israel discussing destroying the WMD sites with Jordan. A little deeper and, as you peel back the onion you discover the NYT and multiple other sources referring to the president using Gaza and Syria to pressure Iran before one-on-one negotiations. All I added was Obama's March "deadline" for "positive results or else." After ten years of American "or elses," did this mean Obama would finally leave the Bush policy of placating Iran, which cost the US much, and its regional partners far more; was the president finally saying "or else" meant the long avoided "red line"?

But you would not, from paragraph one, have been able to connect those dots.

Try reading, next time. Then draw conclusions.
