US and Israel in "Lockstep"

US President Barack Obama has said he does not think Israel has made a decision on whether to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear installations, a threat that has rattled the region.

So, screw you Leon Panetta?
"My number one priority continues to be the security of the United States. But also, the security of Israel. And we're going to make sure that we work in lockstep, as we proceed to try to solve this - hopefully diplomatically."
And nothing says diplomacy like murdering scientists and increasing sanctions.

Palestinians (and Iranians) might use the term “goosestep.” But I never would.

In the interview with NBC, Obama cautioned that "any kind of additional military activity inside the Gulf is disruptive. And has a big effect on us. It can affect oil prices".
We can actually just say that outright now. That’s the “change” he’s brought to this country.
