cyberdude611 -> Obama promises "unshakable" support for Israel (5/22/2008 10:30:07 PM)
In what seems like an attempt to win over the Jewish vote in Florida, Obama said that he fully supports Israel and the Jewish nation would recieve "unshakable support" from his administration. Obama also said he wanted to make it clear that he "would not" speak with Hamas if he's elected President. Obama is apparently trying to shake off criticism by John McCain and Senator Joe Lieberman that Obama plans to speak to countries like Syria and Iran who are supporting Palestinian terrorist acts against Israel. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D90QUD980&show_article=1 So America's policy towards Israel and Palestine will remain unchanged no matter who wins this November. I've been telling you guys this for months.

Obama also said he would sit down at the negotiating table with the Iranians....who want the state of Israel wiped off the map (and most likely will point their first nuclear tipped missile at Tel Aviv). Which makes his support "shaky", not "unshakable". Obama is not credible on foreign policy.... Hell, Obama is not credible period. Why do the Democrats waste their time and energy on such a hapless buffoon?

I've been telling you guys this for months. The pro-Israel propaganda is so all pervasive and so uncritical in the American media, even when Israel is daily commiting human rights crimes and breaking international law, any candidate for president has to be pro-Israeli, even if such a policy is against American interest or even if Israel is actively working against American interests. This is a tail that certainly wags the dog.

Why do the Democrats waste their time and energy on such a hapless buffoon? Of course you do know that this is bullshit. Israel is a nuclear power with enough arms to turn Iran to glass, it also has the most powerful army in the entire region with the blessing of the US tax payer. Israel's real worry isn't Iran, its not making peace and further down the road the US falling off its superpower perch and unable to prtect Israel with vetoes in international forum and other free countries fed up of Israeli aggression, human rights crimes and breaking of international law. The US bangs on about axis of evil but it is Israel that occupies the land of other people, it is Israel that has a policy of ethnic cleansing, it is Israel that is in the process of stealing and annexing other people's land, it is Israel that has the world's largest concentration camp, it is Israel subjugating another people. Only the Americans are blind to that for some idiotic religious reason. If the US was really Israel's friend, they would be encouraging them to have dialog with their enemies, give back the land they have stolen for peace and encourage the wider cooperation of the international community in seeking a solution. Yea, and what has Bush and the neo-cons done apart from making the whole region more unstable and more dangerous? The only thing US policy has encouraged is more terrorism. If Obama is a buffoon, he is still far and away more intelligent than Bush and Co. Bush was not credible on foreign policy but the American people still voted him in and voted him in again after PROVING he was not credible on foraign policy.

Isn't the goverment also not getting lots of money from the Israelean loby? And of course they need Israel as the only western country in the east..in case something happens.

McCain still doesn't know that Iran's supreme leader is Ali Khamenei, the man who's in charge of Iranian foreign policy and also in charge of the nuclear program. He never mentions him. MCCAIN: Oh I thin-Again, I respectfully disagree. When he's the person that comes to the United Nations and declares his country's policy is the extermination of the state of Israel, quote, in his words, wipe them off of the map, then I know that he is speaking for the Iranian government and articulating their policy and he was elected and is running for reelection as the leader of that country. Yes sir, go ahead. Totally bruto, McCain insists, against all foreign policy expertise, that Ahmadinejad is Iran's ultimate leader. What a moron: just because Ahmadinejad is the head of state does not make him head of policy. Still, McCain goes on his merry way, totally ignoring the facts of the Iranian government structure. Cretin.

Cretin. Add to that,not knowing or caring to know the difference between Shea and Sunni Muslims. Not knowing or caring to know that Iran and al-queda are enemies. And all those "senior moments" with someone whispering into his ear,the right answer. We also know that Bush foreign policy is a failure and McCain's FP is more of the same. Bush`s failed ME policy, is one of the reasons for the highest oil prices in world history. We really need someone with a little going on upstairs,next time around.

I say we all vote for Richard Simmons then. Gene Simmons? I think all of the major candidates lack what we truly need in the office. That has been the consistent problem for most of my adult life. The major parties run the inept, the inexperienced, the corrupt, or the useless. We need to start running candidates with ABILITY instead of just ELECTABILITY. If we had two good candidates running, we would find ourselves electing a decent president.

Sure Obama's a moron. He's a moron for offending rural Pennsylvanians just prior to their state primary. He's a moron for calling a female reporter "sweetie" on the campaign trail. He's a moron for suggesting that his administration will work to ensure that Americans face food shortages. He's a moron for saying he's visited 57 states. He's a moron for allowing his wife to advertise the fact that they're both Marxists. I hate McCain too, but I think that McCain's easily the lesser of the two evils. quote: ORIGINAL: celticlord2112 quote: ORIGINAL: Alumbrado Ahhhh.. so not only is Obama a Moozlum terrist, but he wants to rape your Jewish daughters too?[8\|] Oh please.

Gee Dubya is what we British describe as a clusterfuck, I'm more worried about his lil brother Jed. Now if he ever got into the Whitehouse the shit really would hit the fan! Junior is an idiot, Jed is just downright dangerous in his thinking!

Despite the death of King Hussain, Jordan is still a Western friendly state, as is Egypt on the quiet. Even Colonel Gadaffi is now western friendly, he know he needs Yankie dollar and British pound! I'd put money on Israel giving the US the middle finger if another power started to look after their interests.

quote: ORIGINAL: cyberdude611 In what seems like an attempt to win over the Jewish vote in Florida, Is it just me, or is that not a somewhat troubling idea to begin with? Are these Americans loyal to the USA or to Israel? Given the numbers of Muslims in the US these days, why is there no similar attempt to win their votes by promising support for Islamic countries? Is US foreign policy beholden to a certain group of Americans by virtue of their religion? If so, why is this not an issue when "right wing Christians" are so vilified when they seek control of foreign policy? Surely all voters should be loyal to the principles on which the US was founded and not a great deal more? Such principles as might constitute a neutral moral highground from which to produce a peace deal far more effectively than this partisan approach? E

During the cold war Israel was the one reliable ally the US had in the region. And they have proven useful, doing things the US dare not do (like take out Iraq's nuclear reactor program in the 80s and stopping Hussein's quest for nuclear weapons dead in its tracks).
