Democratic presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama vowed Wednesday he would work to "eliminate" the threat posed by Iran to security in the Middle East and around the globe. "There's no greater threat to Israel or to the peace and stability of the region than Iran," he told the powerful pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Council (AIPAC). "The danger from Iran is grave and real and my goal will be to eliminate this threat," he said, adding loudly to add emphasis that he would "everything" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. |

The left wing supporters of Obama are described in this:
************************************************
Its difficult to imagine they are so blatantly antiAmerican!
See this :
Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left
And a review:
**********************************
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.

Newsweek published a list of Senator Obama's foreign policy advisers that included Zbigniew Brzezinski and Robert Malley.
I shudder to think that this man who has chosen for his foreign policy adviser the very arichitect of khomeinist mollacracy should become our next president!

One more link...to a FR Thread :
Analysis: Obama's fast OK of town-hall debates with McCain a politically savvy move
******************************EXCERPT INTRO***********************
(06-04) 17:31 PDT Washington - -- Sen. Barack Obama's quick acceptance of Sen. John McCain's offer today to debate in town hall meetings across the country might seem puzzling, playing into the Republican's strength and exposing an Obama weakness.
Even in top form on a victory night, Sen. John McCain delivers an indifferent set speech, often turning the most graceful prose to lead. McCain' facial expressions are forced, and he runs over punch lines with an odd sing-song delivery. In town halls, by contrast, he is at his best, roving with a microphone, engaging spontaneously with voters and showcasing his sardonic wit.
For Obama the reverse may be true. Obama is possibly the best public speaker of any politician today. A polished writer, his speeches launched his career, setting the 2004 Democratic convention ablaze and setting him on course to win an Illinois Senate seat and in short order seize the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Obama seems to make the teleprompter disappear, delivering his words with a force and cadence that dazzles audiences.

Is it possible that Obama is the Great Mahdi that
Amadinejad is predicting will come and save the world
and eliminate the unbelievers?

Note this comparison:
A populsitic, charismatic, self-serving individual has a way of mesmerizing foolish people looking for an idol...then and now.
Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worsty, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

>>>
Hence, no more threat to the Middle East.<<<
Your thinking coincides with that of both Reid and Pelosi.
Surely your only "thinking out loud". But then thats what they were doing, declaring defeat in Iraq.
What needs to be made emphatically clear, is that, any attack on Israel will be considered an attack on the United States and full retaliation, to the maximum of our capabilities, will be the result.
As charles Krauthammer put it:
How to create deterrence? The way John Kennedy did during the Cuban missile crisis. President Bush should issue the following declaration, adopting Kennedy's language while changing the names of the miscreants:
It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear attack upon Israel by Iran, or originating in Iran, as an attack by Iran on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon Iran.

Is it possible that Obama is the Great Mahdi that Amadinejad is predicting will come and save the world and eliminate the unbelievers? Or maybe Osama is the Anti-Christ? Boggles the mind!
No, close but no cigar: Obama is the Great Obambi, Osama is worm food waiting for that final digestion.
When the real AntiChrist is revealed, Scripture states in Revelation 13:3 that "all the world wondered after the Beast", and that time is not quite here. Close, but not quite.

“Horowitz is just that type of person!”
Yes, he’s wonderful - I just heard him speak on his book last weekend on cspan2, with Q&A. Another one who just gave an equally great speech - Robert Spencer, head of Jihad Watch - called The Truth About Mohammed. And one last incredible (and very patriotic) person, Brigitte Gabriel, founder of American Congress for Truth. Every American NEEDS to hear these brave, informed and eloquent folks. I know at least two (if not all three) must travel with bodyguards at all times.
