Obama slams Clinton's "cowboy" talk on Iran (Obama wants nice talk and APPEASEMENT with Iran)
yahoo ^ | 5/4/2008 | Patrick Rucker/reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama accused rival Hillary Clinton of saber rattling toward Iran on Sunday and compared her approach to that of unpopular President George W. Bush.

"I think it's language that's reflective of George Bush. We have had a foreign policy of bluster and saber rattling," Obama said of Clinton's threat to "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel.

"It is important that we use language that sends a signal to the world community that we're shifting from the sort of cowboy diplomacy, or lack of diplomacy, that we've seen out of George Bush," the Illinois senator said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Obama and Clinton sat for simultaneous TV interviews on different networks two days before primary contests in North Carolina and Indiana, the latest states to vote in the nominating process to determine who will take on Republican John McCain in the November election.

Obama is THE CANDIDATE of the AntiAmerican Lefties....

******************************************

It’s difficult to imagine they are so blatantly antiAmerican!

See this :

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left

And a review:

**********************************

By  Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)
I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

Perhaps B H Obama should look up the definition of appeasement before he tries to defend himself.

Every day I wake up knowing that McCain is the only candidate remotely qualified to be the CinC, but by the time the day is over I’m back no not being sure if I can choke back the barf long enough to mash the button for him.

You'll have to vote early in the morning, then.

Yeah, I understand not wanting to vote for him.

Obama: "I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems, ....I will not weaponize space... I will slow development of future combat systems... I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used ..."

Then, there will be peace in our time without the evil republicans causing war!

My change is good for Muslims, Islamofascists, Black Racists, and Chrislims. $crew the Christians and real Jews!

Well said. As for our relationship with Israel, one can only wonder what has been driven into OHB's head over the years from his close associations with all those he has had contact with. I'll bet you a dime he views between his slitted eyes the nation of Israel as all that he is apposed to.
And surely his wife is not proud of what the Israeli have accomplished over the past sixty years.
His roots are in black Africa and Islam, whether he cares to admit it our not. He is one hell of a mixed up joker.
If anything. He should move his family to Africa and take up the cause of the down trodden masses. He sure as hell is going to screw up things here if given the chance.
His priorities are not suited for running this Republic regardless of what he pretends to represent.

He is a perfect socialist for Africa, and if we look at what they did after colonialism, we can guess what he'll do to the USA. Of course, his “Amen” choir in the MSM and academia will be pleased as we spin into squalor, but ordinary Americans will not be.

The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows: “Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

We must be careful. Ordinary Americans do not have the ability to count to ten on their toes, let alone delve into the issues that make this world what it is.
If it where otherwise the democratic party would not even exist at this point in time.

” “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.””

This should be added to Hannitys list of concerns with Barry O’B...

thanks for sharing
