Was the Obama Administration involved in Planning the Israeli Attack on the Gaza Flotilla

According to Michel Chossudovsky, whose web site you can read by clicking on the heading of this post, the Israeli Commandos had prior knowledge of those on the doomed Turkish ship, including the precise location of its passengers. Swedish author Henning Mankell, who was on board, "the Israelis attacked sleeping civilians". The Israelis targeted Journalists, immediately confiscating their audio and video recording equipment and tapes. "We were witnesses to premeditated murders," said historian Mattias Gardell, who was on board the doomed vessel. Press TV commented: "They even shot those who surrendered". Apparently the Israeli Commandos had explicit orders to kill, and there were handcuffed people who were shot, in order to trigger a response by Palestine resistance forces. There are indications that the US was consulted at the "highest" level - read "Obama", and both the US and the UK were consulted before the Israelis decided to murder the occupants of the doomed Turkish ship, sent by an "ally" of our United States. At this very moment, many of our other "Allies" in this troubled world are questioning what having the US as an "Allie" really means, when a crisis evolves which threatens their citizens to whom they are responsible! Several high level US-Israeli meetings were held in the months prior to this brutal attack by our "allie". Rahm Emmanuel, Obama's White House chief of staff was in Tel Aviv a week prior to the attacks. Confirmed by press reports, he had meetings behind closed doors with Prime Minister Netanyahu on May 26, as well as a private visit with President Shimon Perez on May 27.
