Obama Refers To Israel Concern Over Iran As "Noise"; Ahmadenijad Used Same Word

Romney press secretary Andrea Saul responds: 

 “Tonight on 60 Minutes, President Obama called Israel’s legitimate concern about the impact of an Iran armed with nuclear weapons ‘noise’ and referred to Israel as merely ‘one of our closest allies in the region.’ This is just the latest evidence of his chronic disregard for the security of our closest ally in the Middle East. Governor Romney's views stand in sharp contrast to the President's. Governor Romney strongly believes that Israel is our most important ally in the Middle East and that support for Israel is essential to extending freedom, peace and democracy throughout the region. As president, Governor Romney will restore and protect the close alliance between our nation and the state of Israel.”

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used the same word to describe Israel in an interview with the Washington Post. Tweet
