It's Official: Obama Insisted Israel Go Against Its Intel About the Flotilla and Board Ship Without Riot Gear


Maybe I was living in a cocoon yesterday and the day before but I didn't see this story. But it appears that the Israelis knew a bit more about what they might expect on that "Freedom Flotilla" terror ship but the Obama administration insisted that the Israelis not use anything close to "excessive force" in the stopping of any ship trying to run the blockade.

In other words, Israel nearly had four or five dead SEALs due to their following the orders of our Boy Wonder President.

By the way, Israel, the next time you hear the Obama administration insist you do ANYTHING tell 'em to fuck off. The American people are behind you, our President is not.

White House rejected Israeli intel, blocked use of anti-riot gear against flotilla


WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama stopped Israel from using anti-riot gear to prevent a Turkish-sponsored flotilla from breaking the siege on the Gaza Strip.

Diplomatic sources said the White House rejected Israeli intelligence assessments that the six-ship flotilla contained weapons and Islamist fighters trained to resist any boarding operation. The sources, privy to Israeli-U.S. government communications, said Obama and his leading aides pressed Israel against any act that would be deemed excessive force.
"The White House demanded that Israel exercise extreme caution and restraint in any scenario," a diplomatic source said.
