sanctions irrelevant?

Would not a clear repudiation of the legitimacy of Obama's appeasement have a considerable impact on his ability to carry out that policy? I think we all know that the main reason Israel has hesitated to take action for so long is the fear of negative repercussions from the United States. Were a deal to be agreed upon, the freedom to act would almost certainly be eliminated. And it would appear to me that in order to prevent such a surrender, and thus at least allow those intent on stopping the nuclear program to exercise action in the tenure of a hopefully more favorable future administration, some sort of definitive political disempowerment of the administration is not only desirable but necessary.
