Clinton’s incompetence killed at least 3000 Americans on our own soil. How many will suffer and die here and abroad due to Obama’s insane libtard policy decisions? Has it only been a few days with him usurping the Office of President? He has screwed up enough for a whole 4 year term already. What a dangerous dangerous man.

He’s calling for monitored commerce, after Hamas ends the rocket attacks. I see nothing anti-Israel in that.

“The outline for a durable cease-fire is clear: Hamas must end its rocket fire; Israel will complete the withdrawal of its forces from Gaza; the US and our partners will support a credible anti-smuggling and interdiction regime, so that Hamas cannot rearm,” Mr Obama said. “As part of a lasting cease-fire, Gaza’s border crossings should be open to allow the flow of aid and commerce, with an appropriate monitoring regime, with the international [community] and Palestinian Authority participating.”

What’s wrong with that?

4 years? Nothing is changing in the Republican primary process that I can see. There will be another McCain-like nominee to sacrifice to Obama in 2012. NH won’t go for a Conservative. Iowa, with their dependence upon that government teet called ethanol, will not go for a Fiscal Conservative. I expect it will Giuliani or Romney that promises the moon in order to win the nomination next time. That is, someone that can help depress the turnout even more in the South.

Because between the Palestinian Authgority and “International AGencies” they will NOT control terrorists and arms, just as they have failed to do so in Lebanon. Because Egypt has a wall up to starve Gaza. Because Israel is our ally.

I guess Israel has to open its borders just like we do.

Im beginning to think the Obama flame out is coming quickly.

0be should be asking Hamas to surrender their rockets and assault weapons.

From the article:

“The outline for a durable cease-fire is clear: Hamas must end its rocket fire; Israel will complete the withdrawal of its forces from Gaza; the US and our partners will support a credible anti-smuggling and interdiction regime, so that Hamas cannot rearm,” Mr Obama said.

Why won’t Egypt open their border? And, why won’t they build a few roads to help the poor arab “tools” out?

Not a surprising move since 0bama went to a church for 20 years that reprinted a letter from a senior member of Hamas.

The first foreigner Obama telephoned was the Palestinian Authority’s President Mahmoud Abbas. That tells you all you need to know about the Trojan horse foreigner the idiotic American people have let inside the gates and elected as an ineligible president and dangerous terrorist sympathizer.

Nothing makes me think he will ever figure it out.

Here is how to be a third party mediator in this conflict: The first condition to opening any talks at all— at all— would be that all parties acknowledge that Israel exists and will continue to have a right to exist within defensible borders. This is not to be “negotiated”; it is a pre-condition. Israel is Israel. Israel is not "Occupied Territories".

Of course, talks end there, but you say “Get back to us when this condition is met.” If they never do— fine. In the meantime, Israel would be free to defend itself and should be quietly encouraged to do so with, shall we say, a little more vigor.

There is no question in my mind that this formula presents the only realistic path to a permanent peace. All the ‘negotiations’ over the past 30-40 years have made things much worse.
