Obama admin warns Israel, not Iran

American Thinker has carried numerous articles over the past two years predicting that Barack Obama would prove to be an appeaser of tyrants. He has fulfilled our predictions.
His obsequiesness towards the tyrannical regime of Iran; his bowing to the Saudi king (even the Center for American Progress; closely tied to the Administration, admits Obama bowed), his television address to the Arab world on a partially Saudi-owned cable network, his expansion of aid to the Palestinians; his claim that the Muslim world has enriched America; his commitment to join the UN Human Rights Council; his first call as President was to Palestinian leader Mohammed Abbas; his gutting of defense spending -- particularly the ending of the F-22 and missile defense programs -- crucial to dealing with regimes developing nuclear weapons; his placidity towards Russia's and North Korea's aggressiveness; his apology tour of Europe; well..the list could go on and on.
Now to be truly effective, his abasement of America must also reflect itself in the belittling and weakening our allies and friends. This he has started to do with his serial and shameful diplomatic faux pas involving Great Britain. Now he has turned his focus onto Israel -- a small nation surrounded by far more numerous and wealthy enemies -- one of which, Iran, routinely boasts that it will destroy Israel.
In the face of these manifold existential threats, what does Barack Obama do? He sends an unprecedented
warning to Congress that there will be an upcoming clash with Israel and he demands that Congress support his policies. Will he send his legion of grassroots supporters to petition their Congressional members to support the President? After all, he has told them recently that he is "keeping score" regarding the level of support they show for him.
Just in case, no one misses the message, his Vice-President, Joe Biden, to reinforce the message to Israel that traditional American support may not be forthcoming. Last night on CNN, Biden
warned Israel not to attack Iran. . Israel is a sovereign nation whose people face the prospect of another Holocaust. Yet the message from the leader of a nation who has in the past been its best friend is... what? Drop dead?
Any experienced leader would realize that threats of military force is one tool that can be used with diplomacy to shape other nations' behavior. America has just sent a message to Iran that they need not take risk into account in the future. As America cuts the F-22 Raptor and missile defense programs-just a day after North Korea (allied with Iran) launches a ballistic missile, what message is Obama sending to the rest of the world?
The era of Pax Americana has ended and with it much of the security for the Western world.

I ask again, do you find fault with the chain of events asserted re: Obama's election? That like every President since Woodrow Wilson he was put in office and controlled by the World Jewish Government? Of course not, who doesn't agree with that?
And he's on target when it comes to the darkies, stinken Jews spending money to educate them, worse yet advocating civil rights. The work of the devil all right.
If you'll excuse me, I'll leave the thread to the experts now

Again, I’m not asking you to admire the man’s brutal style, but do find fault with the general conclusions of the article?

You’ve amazed me for sure.
Solving any problem requires a full assessment of what the problem is. Being thin skinned is not part of the solution.

Maybe, it’s just me. But I suspect that Netanyahu wanted to expose Obama’s CAPITUALTION, for exiting Irak. Which includes an approach to Iran.
In other words, how would you “get the word out,” while keepingt the signature very small? It seems Israel “let out hints” that it wanted to take out Iran’s nuclear designs. And, if you look really close; you’ll see that America went into hiding. Hemmed. And, hawed. And, seemed to be withholding Israel’s “green light.”
Bibi is not going to take the Teleprompter on, in a frontal assault. The truths are slowly sinking in. Even in Riyadh!
And, I think that people will soon feel “hung over” ... after the brief entertainment of Obama’s european road show.
I think a stealth approach is necessary. Most Americans are not rabid leftists. While the democratic party apparatchiks ARE SO.
While on the GOP right are an equal number of “believers.” Who think they can shove their agenda down people’s throats.
To those who say it’s all the fault of Jews for voting for Obama in high enough numbers? They withdrew those votes from Jimmy Carter! They just need a viable candidate. McCain isn’t it! Nor can he say a word now where anyone feels regret that he didn’t make it into the White House.
When bad times come, you need the patience it takes to wait out the worst of it.

No prophecy fits that scenario.

No surprise here. Obama would not defend this country if attacked, how could anyone think he would stand by Israel. Biden is nothing but the number one Obamatron and does only as his master tells him.

These babbling “It’s the end of the world” threads are getting old.
Apparently I’m surrounded by little old ladies and metro-sexuals.
Get some spine people, grow a garden and quit acting like the end of the world is here.
I’m embarrassed to post with half you folks.....

Congress' phone/fax/sms lines must be made to melt from citizens contacting their representatives vociferously indicating how they feel, and pledging neighborhood vote drives against the incumbent if he/she should vote AYE for such abject nonsense.

(even the Center for American Progress; closely tied to the Administration, admits Obama bowed) Strangely Bill O'reilly could not come to the same conclusion on his Tuesday night show, because some one in the Obama camp denied the bow.

Barack Obama went to Harvard and became an educated fool. I would like for someone to prove he actually attended a single class.

To those who say its all the fault of Jews for voting for Obama in high enough numbers? Yes it is true, a majority of Christians bought the Hope and Change B$ that Obama peddled, because the Christians have always been about hope.
Another fact is that had the Jewish population of Florida voted to protect Israel, the election would have turned out different. Seventy percent is much higher than the general population. I think had they even split the percentage Obama would not be in office. I know several Jews who most assuredly voted for Obama.
The truth is most Jews are secular, having rejected God for tradition.
When Jesus returns He will find a Church practicing a form of religion, but denying the power thereof.
I am a fervent supporter of the Nation of Israel, but Most of the occupants could care less about their own existence, else why would they keep falling for the land for piece nonsense? Maybe Bibi will change this, maybe not.
