Netanyahu Calls for "Coalition of the Willing" Against Iran

April 20, 2010 (LPAC)—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for "crippling sanctions" against Iran. Speaking on ABC's "Good Morning America," Netanyahu raved that the Iranian nuclear program was "the biggest issue facing our times." While calling for a ban on selling refined petroleum products to Iran, he demanded that if such sanctions can't be passed by the United Nations, then a "coalition of the willing" be formed.

Lyndon LaRouche, on hearing this, responded: "What a.... I don't want to call him an asshole, since some ass holes may serve a useful function."

Joining Netanyahu's obvious attempt to get U.S backing for an Israeli hit against Iran or a hit by the United States, Defense Minister Ehud Barak commented on statements by U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen, about a military option being on the table, but only as a last resort. Barak told Israeli Army Radio that, while Iran does not yet pose an existential threat to Israel, once it did, it would. So he called for Israel to make a "bold move" to break the stalemate. This move is to have sanctions with a specific deadline "in order to facilitate what Mullen's remark implies."

Barak went on, "I prefer to refrain from speculation about the future. Right now, Iran does not pose an existential threat to Israel. If Iran becomes nuclear, it will spark an arms race in the Middle East. This region is very sensitive because of the oil flow; this region is important to the entire world. The fact that Iran is not an immediate threat, but could evolve into one, means that we can't let ourselves fall asleep."
