أوباما: أيام الأسد معدودة وتهديدنا بعمل ضد منشآت إيران النووية جدي ونعني ما نقول

Read this story in English W460

حذر الرئيس الاميركي باراك اوباما في مقابلة نشرت الجمعة من اي عمل عسكري ضد ايران سيسمح لها بان تبدو "ضحية" في الازمة النووية، وذلك قبل ثلاثة ايام من زيارة رئيس الوزراء الاسرائيلي بنيامين نتانياهو لواشنطن.

وفي اقوى تصريحات يدلى بها حتى الان بشان برنامج ايران النووي، حذر اوباما اسرائيل وايران من ان عليهما ان تاخذا على محمل الجد احتمال قيام الولايات المتحدة بعمل ضد منشات ايران النووية في حال فشل العقوبات في كبح تطلعات طهران النووية.

وقال اوباما في المقابلة التي نشرتها مجلة "ذي اتلانتيك منثلي" "اعتقد ان الحكومة الاسرائيلية تدرك انني كرئيس للولايات المتحدة، فانني جاد فيما اقول".

وتابع "واضافة الى ذلك فانا والتزاما بمبادىء السياسة الحسنة المتبعة، لا اعلن عن نوايانا المحددة. ولكن اعتقد ان الحكومتين الايرانية والاسرائيلية تدركان انه عندما تقول الولايات المتحدة انه من غير المقبول ان تمتلك ايران سلاحا نوويا، فاننا نعني ما نقول".

ووصل نتانياهو الذي سيلتقي اوباما الاثنين المقبل، الى كندا في وقت سابق من الجمعة. وصرح خلال الاسبوع الجاري ان الملف الايراني سيكون "الموضوع الرئيسي" لمحادثاته مع الرئيس الاميركي.

وقال نتانياهو ان "ايران تواصل تقدمها في برنامجها النووي بسرعة ووقاحة وباستهتار كامل لقرارات الاسرة الدولية"، مؤكدا ان "كل الخيارات مطروحة" في مواجهة هذا البرنامج.

وقال اوباما انه "بينما لا تتمتع ايران بتعاطف كبير الان، وحليفتها الوحيدة (سوريا) في حالة غليان، هل نريد تحركا يسمح لايران بان تبدو ضحية؟".

واضاف انه حتى لو لم تكن اسرائيل هدفا محددا للغضب الايراني "الا ان منع ايران من الحصول على سلاح نووي يشكل مصلحة قوية للامن القومي الاميركي".

وتحدث اوباما كذلك عن مخاطر "كبيرة" من وقوع سلاح نووي ايراني في ايد ارهابية، محذرا من "احتمال حدوث سباق تسلح في المنطقة الاكثر اضطرابا في العالم، والمليئة بالحكومات غير المستقرة والتوترات المذهبية".

وقال ان ذلك "سيزود ايران بقدرات اضافية لرعاية وحماية الجماعات الحليفة لها في تنفيذها هجمات ارهابية لانهم اقل خوفا من اي عمل انتقامي ضدهم".

ورأى اوباما ان "رئيس الوزراء (نتانياهو) يتحمل المسؤولية الكبيرة لحماية الاسرائيليين في بيئة معادية وانا واثق انه يأخذ في الاعتبار عندما يفكر في هذه المسائل تاريخ الهولوكوست (محرقة اليهود) ومعاداة السامية واعمال العنف ضد اليهود منذ اكثر من الف سنة".

واضاف "من المهم الاعتراف مع ذلك بان رئيس الوزراء يقود دولة حديثة ويدرك كلفة اي عمل عسكري وحسب مشاوراتنا مع الحكومة الاسرائيلية اعتقد انهم يأخذون هذه الكلفة والنتائج المحتملة بجدية كبيرة جدا".

إلى ذلك، قال اوباما "تقديراتنا تشير الى ان ايام الاسد معدودة. ولم يعد الامر يتعلق باذا ولكن بمتى" سيسقط نظام الاسد.

واضاف "والان، هل نستطيع تسريع ذلك؟ نحن نعمل مع المجتمع الدولي لمحاولة القيام بذلك".

واقر اوباما ان سوريا اكبر واكثر تعقيدا من ليبيا، وان دولا كروسيا تعرقل اتخاذ اي عمل في الامم المتحدة.

الا انه اشار الى الجهود التي تقوم بها الولايات المتحدة من خلال مجموعة "اصدقاء سوريا" لايصال المعونات الانسانية الى المدن التي تتعرض لهجمات القوات السورية.

واضاف "ولكن باستطاعتهم كذلك تسريع الانتقال الى حكومة سورية سلمية ومستقرة وممثلة" للسوريين، واشار الى انه "اذا حدث ذلك، فان هذه ستكون خسارة كبيرة لايران".

Obama read our forum threads. Indeed, someone from here knots saying exactly what Barack said: "Assad's days are numbered". There's no need to strike Iran yet, but it will be after Bashar goes down. Remember how it seemed unreal to imagine Saddam Hussein, Hosni Moubarak, Moaamar Ghaddafior even more Ossama BenLaden being dealt with? Guess what! It happened.!!!! A fair trial would be disgusting as I'd rather see him get stabbed to death but a true justice demands a fair trial. So be it (unless he's too coward and commits suicide a la hitler style). Milosevic is feeling lonely in his cell at the Hague... He's willing to learn English and Arabic to talk to his friend to be... The Assad clan. And I bet he'll learn Farsi as well to talk with Nasrallah.

an attack against iran will not happen, but an attack against hizbushaitan is now inevitable, and this is what they will discuss.
again: destruction of hizbushaitan, will speed the fall of bashar's regime, and further isolate iran as a paria state until it implodes from within.

They were stabbed in the back, that's what happened. These guys were the US favorite figures, including Bashar. Like the Lebanese forces were the Israelis favorites, this is why they withdrew quickly from different areas in Lebanon, wanting them to be slaughtered. Yet most of you learned nothing.

What is your point? The US did not install any of them into power, they acquired power on their own. The US acts in their self-interest, just like every other country. That means supporting some governments temporarily but not permanently. Every 4 years the US elects a new president, and he is free to make his own foreign policy, included which governments to support or not support.

The US supported Saddam against Iran, so what? That does not mean they cannot go against him later when he outlives his usefulness.

The US never supported Qaddafi. Qaddafi was a pariah who financed terrorism in many places. The west NEGOTIATED with Qaddafi to give up his nukes and to buy his oil, but he was never their "favorite".

Mubarak made peace with Israel, so the US supported him. So what? That does not mean support at any cost, nor does it mean keep him in power forever. The US supports democracy and the people didn't want Mubarek. The US helped nurture pro-democracy movements in Egypt

Tony... Saddam rose through the ranks of the Baath party in Iraq and took over after he forced Al Bakr to resign in 1979.

Qaddafi seized power in a bloodless military coup in 1969 without help from the US.

Mubarek became vice president in 1975 and assumed presidency when Sadat was killed in 1981.

What is your point Tony?

Hope you will not outlive your usefulness. Foreign policy in america is dictated from Israel, no matter who is the president. US could care less about your democracy. If they did, Saudi would be the first to go.

Of course there are example of where the US propped up foreign regimes at the expense of democracy, but that was mostly in years past, when they were still fighting the cold war against communism and leftist leaders.

The bottom line is this: the US should be congratulated for not supporting Saddam, or Qaddafy, or Mubarek, and yet you try to paint that as a negative.

Bashar was never a "favorite" of the US. He hosted Hamas, PFLP and other terrorist groups, he financed violence and anti-US activities in Iraq, he committed crimes in Lebanon, he smuggled arms to Hezbollah, and the big one..... he got to cozy with Ayatollah. The US only tolerated Assad because he kept the border quiet with Israel.

They will always act in their best interest, like any other country, and now their best interest is to see Bashar fall from power. Iran on the other hand is helping Assad kill women and children and they will pay a price for that.

Who created Hamas, since you know too much. Not Israel, so they stand against the PLO.

I want you to be governed by nobody. I want Lebanon for Lebanon. But all of you chose to play sides, instead of uniting.

Geha.....I think you are correct, but in reverse. I think the attack on the Hezz will occur after Bashar is gone to cut off any re-supply from Bashar. Hitting them without re-supply will cripple them harder.

they know this. That is why their shabiha are in Syria.

We thought that we, the Lebanese, were the only ones blessed with a great seer as Dr. Samir Abdullatif! Now we discover that there is also Dr. Barak Abdullatif on the other side of the globe! I guess for some Godly reason, God did not break the cast after he created the first of these two greats! Let's hope we will hear from either one an update as to the precise number of days so that we can start the countdown. We have been relying on Gabby, allouchi, thepatriot, realist, peace, slash... but they have not delivered on any of their predictions yet. So why not go to the source?

The US and russia both agree tacitly on Assad departure (only an idiot in politics could imagine a peaceful solution with assad in power); however, it seems they both agree on increasing the suffering of the Syrian people until they agree to the solution imposed eventualy by the world powers i.e yemeni style. The US wants the army/government intact in any solution to keep the status quo with israel, russia also agrees on that and wants to ensure its own interests: this is the real reason behind the temporary support for assad. Russia could care less if ties between the future damascus and iran are severed. Major changes in the Syrian regime will take place but not dramatic ones. Russia/US both agree on severing the iranian component. They also agree on keeping considerable power in the hands of the minorities. Remember how long the yemeni ordeal took?? the outcome was the departure of the president but significant status quo "stability" remained.

Guys do you think that bombing Syria or Iran would bring you democracy to the region?It will be catastrophic not only for Syria or Iran but also for you in Lebanon, because your whole economies will sink. Don’t be that happy because you will lose your life in a war environment and others country will benefit from you to increase their income by selling you arms to kill your brothers.You should do your best to preserve calm no matter if you don’t like a specific person. I think all leaders have their days numbered. And we don’t need Obama to tell us who should stay or who should go, especially those countries that support the people who bomb themselves to bring democracy. The only country in the region where democracy should be under protest is Saudi Arabia. Let them protest on the roads like they do in Syria, let their woman go on the road to protest…Saudi is another story but its turn is also coming.
