Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel tried Sunday to step up pressure on the White House and the world regarding Iran’s nuclear program, saying there was not enough urgency on the issue.
Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Netanyahu said Washington must demonstrate to Iran’s newly elected president “by action” that “the military option which is on the table is truly on the table.”
Netanyahu reiterated his familiar demands that Iran must be forced to stop the enrichment of nuclear material, remove already enriched uranium from the country, and shut down the Qom nuclear facility. He said those demands “should be backed up with ratcheted sanctions.”
“They have to know you’ll be prepared to take military action; that’s the only thing that will get their attention.”
Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for civilian use. But Netanyahu described Iran’s new president, Hasan Rouhani, as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” who would “smile and build a bomb.”Read the rest of the story HERE and view Natanyahu's interview on CBS's 'Face the Nation' below:

Sorry, no can do. We have too many other more important issues it seems.

This is for real. He's not joking around, and yet the U.S. leaders still sit here, placated by... what? Why are we placid? We should be terrified! I am.
