Obama to China: I can't stop Israel strike on Iran indefinitely

From Watcher:

Now that is a very interesting development.

(Haaretz) U.S. President Barack Obama has warned his Chinese counterpart that the United States would not be able to keep Israel from attacking Iranian nuclear installations for much longer, senior officials in Jerusalem told Haaretz.

They said Obama warned President Hu Jintao during the American's visit to Beijing a month ago as part of the U.S. attempt to convince the Chinese to support strict sanctions on Tehran if it does not accept Western proposals for its nuclear program.

The Israeli officials, who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the matter, said the United States had informed Israel on Obama's meetings in Beijing on Iran. They said Obama made it clear to Hu that at some point the United States would no longer be able to prevent Israel from acting as it saw fit in response to the perceived Iranian threat.

It would appear he has dropped the hot potato in China's lap for the time being. Are they all truly blind to the fact that nothing short of military destruction is going to put Iran's Mahdi Incentive Plan on hold, or are they just tossing this thing around with everyone hoping it won't be in their hands when it goes off?
