Sen. Ted Cruz: Obama’s Unprecedented Attack on Israel
Time ^ | 30 Oct 14 | Sen Ted Cruz

Posted on 10/30/2014 6:00:06 PM PDT by SkyPilot

This week, the world was treated to yet another embarrassing display of the Obama administration’s incompetent foreign policy.

According to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, various anonymous officials referred to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as both “a chicken****” and “a coward.” While these indefensible comments have received the lion’s share of media attention, the substantive remarks about Iran were even more troubling. Goldberg wrote that another senior official claimed that due to their pressure on Netanyahu, it is now “too late” for Israel to stop Iran from amassing an “atomic arsenal.”

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told the White House press corps on Tuesday that the President likely does not know who did this, and there is no effort underway to find out. Other officials have signaled that these persons may be disciplined in ways that are have not been disclosed. But, regardless, they will continue to serve at the pleasure of the President because, as Earnest said, such things happen almost every day in this administration.

In other words, this is no big deal.

With all due respect, this is a very big deal. This is an unprecedented attack on a critical ally of the United States at a moment of international crisis. It is a de facto admission to the mullahs in Tehran that the Obama administration thinks it is too late to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons. It is an inexcusable betrayal of the national security of the American people.

Do the Democrats agree with what Obama administration officials are saying about Israel and its leaders? Do they also concede that a nuclear Iran is inevitable? If not, will they call on the President to identify and fire the persons making these assertions? These questions should be asked—and answered—before Americans head to the polls...

Oh dear, Obama is in the cursed category with God!

So are we, because of him.

Interesting story, I had never heard that before,

And to be clear, just because a fly lands on someones forehead, I wouldn’t immediately presume anything spiritual from it,

Jesus said the light of the body is in the eyes, and his eyes are very dark,

Obama has treated Israel like dirt since the day he took office. Obama sent that incompetent stooge Kerry to negotiate with Iran, so that Iran would get enough concessions to allow them to go nuclear. Unprecedented ? Yes. Unexpected? Hell no!

I agree. When you look at things in the broader perspective though, you of course realize we’ve abandoned Israel, but he’s done the same thing with all our allies. He did everything he could to drive a wedge between the U. S. and Great Britain.

He telegraphed his plans while running for office. He said he was going to win us more friends around the planet. Like Clinton, when his lips are moving, he’s lying.

What he was actually saying, was that he was going to do his best to isolate the United States from other nation, in particular our old allies.

Our old enemies detest us more than ever. Our old allies are now very circumspect about dealing with us.

We have embarrassed many of our old allies. We have seen critical information leaked on Obola’s watch. What ally wants to trust top level secret information with you, when they know there’s a good chance they’ll be reading it months later at a web site?

Then they see who he appoints as ambassadors, and who his staff is made up of. They know Kerry’s history. They know what they are dealing with. The U. S. is a world class laughing stock these days. The Obola bow factor is an across the board display of ineptitude seldom seen exhibited as glaringly as with this punk.

Carter was a close second in global affairs.

I have posted here many times that under Obama, NONE of our allies trust or respect us. NONE of our enemies fear us. Obama is the most dangerous man in the world.

I agree with that.

Those are two very good points, and combined they spell disaster.

We’re whistling past the graveyard.

I think we are far more vulnerable than most folks think

” I think we are far more vulnerable than most folks think”

Oh yes!

As an example, Putin watched Obama make enemies all over the world the past 6 years, including some allies. He sees Obama is also a coward. Putin correctly deduces that Obama will not stop him from taking countries. Obama then screws with sanctions (while the value of Putin’s oil tanks). Putin is now making serious threats against us. If Putin decides to join China in an unholy alliance against the US (militarily and financially), what the hell can we do about it? Or more accurately, Obama will do nothing about it.

I agree there as well. And when you add in the natural enemy of the West Islam, you’ve got a perfect storm brewing.

When action takes place, we’ll see how far the Black sobbing goes to dissuade their (our) enemies.

Of course many of them would sooner join the fight against us thinking we’re the bad guys on the block.

It will be a real mess.

By “demonic control” you surely mean Valerie Jarret.

I have wondered about Valerie Jarrett’s involvement/influence in his anti-Israel, pro-Iran views.
