WASHINGTON, (AP) -- The diplomatic crisis prompted by Israel's raid on a flotilla of aid ships bound for the Gaza Strip confronts President Barack Obama with a second major test by the Israeli leadership and presents yet another blow to his goal of brokering peace with the Palestinians.
Also taking a hit: the president's effort to improve the U.S. image in the Arab world. Muslim countries, even U.S. allies Turkey and Egypt, are slamming Obama over his measured reaction to the raid.

I’d give anything to be a fly on the wall at Dubya’s house. LOL!
obama wants to finish what his role model, Hitler, started.
he just needs to do it by proxy.
Good thing Obama has a well established strategy for crisis...blame Bush, take no action and seek to exploit the crisis for his agenda.
Obama is a pu$$y and and a chickenshit and every world leader knows it.
He’s not going to do anything and Israel knows it. Could be a prelude to Israel taking unilateral action against the Iranian nuclear program.
That’s it in a nutshell. Obama reminds me of a weak American President on 24.
And, the "press", the lamestream media will, facts of the ship incident aside, give him a completely free pass.
Our naive coward in chief is being sliced and diced by the grizzled veterans of world politics.

Readout of the Presidents Call with Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey
The President spoke today with Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan to express his deep condolences for the loss of life and injuries resulting from the Israeli military operation against the Turkish-flagged ship bound for Gaza. The President told Prime Minister Erdogan that the United States is working in close consultation with Israel to help achieve the release of the passengers, including those deceased and wounded, and the ships themselves.

The President affirmed the importance of finding better ways to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza without undermining Israels security. He underscored the importance of a comprehensive peace agreement which establishes an independent, contiguous, and viable Palestinian state as the way to resolve the overall situation and the United States continuing commitment to achieving that goal by working closely with Turkey, Israel, and others with a stake in a more stable and secure Middle East.

Israel should be preparing their nukes NOW.
Obama showed the world what he was made of starting the day after he took office, and started apologizing and bowing to other countries leaders.But again you can’t completely blame him, he is merely a puppet, being controlled be global elitist.
With every single step taken by the maoist, the results have been predictable.
Happy now?
Wonder what will be the last straw.
Pray for the free world.
since when did 0bambi try to broker peace in the middle east? all he has done is bash israel and helped hamas and the palestinians
Obama has been spotting for over a year now.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
