O says he will stand w Israel if attacked. If Israel is attacked with a nuclear weapon, his support will be a little late.

Obama's resposne: "Israel is a true friend, it is our greatest ally in the region. ... I will stand with Israel if they are attacked... as long as I am president of the United States, Iran will not get a nuclear weapon.... a nuclear Iran is a threat to our national security and Israel's national security."
