The whole taking out Ahmadinejad's nuclear program thing
Obama has said to Bibi I got your back, I think he also said wait 'til after the election. Dealing with Iran - on paper it makes perfect sense but something tells me it's not a good idea. Israel or rumor has it has already taken out at least four Iranian nuclear scientists or those in charge of its burgeoning nuclear program, preferred MO seems to be two guys on a motorbike attach some kind of remote control device to the bad guy's sedan and KABLOOEY like a Jason Bourne movie so Israel seems to be doing a good job all on its own. OK so we'll have a more secure world in the future, maybe, but you think you're paying alot in gas now! Also watch for world markets to destabilize and tumble and an increase in terrorist attacks. WHO will replace Ahmadinejad btw and I think it's safe to assume he'll be part of some overall collateral damage? I mean are there alot of moderates waiting in the wings here, some burning lava lamp of democratic fervor bubbling beneath the Iranian soil? We've had a dubious relationship with our nominal friend and ally Pakistan, if they turn totally rogue do we do them too since they already have the nukes Ahmadinejad has only been dreaming of? Again it's not my call but are any of you getting antsy about this?

Now see here is a real issue you are talking about, Z-man, not some fabricated social issue to detract voters from looking at the important issues of the day.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame Israel one bit for making sure they can take care of themselves, they have to consider another 4 years of Obama, and he is not friend of theirs.

ReplyDeleteFace palm.
"I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don't bluff."

And he hates Israel so much that he picked a Jew for his first chief of staff.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Beth...
Is there a LEGITIMATE reason that the United States is somehow obligated to protect/defend/aid Israel? I mean legitimate beyond the 'I shall curse those who curse you' Biblical thing. Because that's all it boils down to, you know: the Christians want to stay on good terms with the Jews so they can have the easy in come Armageddon. Of course, they don't actually mention to the Jews involved that they're all going to burn in Hell forever because they're Jews. Of course not.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to manufacture reasons why, create threats where there are none, and really the most amusing of all: somehow convince ourselves that Israel actually needs our help. Israel could kick our ass in a heartbeat. They have universal (men AND women) mandatory military service. They have some of the best trained armed forces in the world. And they know it, and they aren't afraid to use it. Israel doesn't need our help.
"Israel doesn't need our help."
ReplyDeleteTo the extent they do we could start by ceasing the foreign aid expenditures of their unfriendly neighbors.
A majority of American Jews favor Mr. Obama and his policies on Israel, Beth.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably getting your info from skewed rightwing articles and blogs.
The president's top Jewish fundraisers from 2008 are sticking with him, according to a new report.
A substaintial majority of American Jews favor Mr. Obama.
Mr. Obama needs to make policy that is good for American interests. Israel is our ally, but it is not America, and what is good for it, is not necessarily in the best interests of this country.
Apparently Americans of Jewish heritage agree with that as well, since they continue with their support of Mr. Obama.
"American Jewish Congress chairman Jack Rosen, who hosted Obama fundraiser at his private home, acknowledged the concerns generally in his introduction of the president. But Rosen praised the president’s record.
'America’s never been as supportive to the state of Israel' than since Obama took office, he said."
My Jewish family members support the president, BTW.
Geez the Catholics support him, the Jews, looks like Obama has it wrapped up no?
