President Barack Obama says U.S. intelligence assessments show Iran is still �a year or more away� from building a nuclear weapon.
The president�s assessment puts him at odds with Israel, which says Iran is just months away from being able to build a bomb.
Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, acknowledged that Americans estimates are �more conservative� than those of the Israelis.
Obama also says the world must �test� whether Iranian President Hassan Rouhani (hah-SAHN� roh-HAH�-nee) is serious about resolving its nuclear dispute diplomatically. But he says the U.S. won�t take a �bad deal� from Iran.
Israel has dismissed Iran�s outreach to the U.S.
Obama says that if he were Israel�s leader, he�d be �be very wary as well of any kind of talk from the Iranians.�

I do not think that Israel can trust Obama with their safety. He seems to make the wrong decisions and seems to live in a world of make believe.
We Jews have had our fate in the hands of world leaders like him before and ended up short changed by 6 million.
