Points well taken...except for the fact that the CIA, the military, and Mossad aren't exactly Obama fans.

One thing that worries me about this matter is that it sends a signal to enemies of Israel that they might attack Israel with little or no response from the U.S. (particularly given Obama's sissified approach to international affairs in general).

Of course, only those with very bad memories actually believe they can win against Israel. But then Israel's enemies aren't known for their good judgment.

From Soetoro/Soros? I don’t think that likely at all.

Satan? Read the Scriptures, in particular, John 8:44, as pointed out by Mr B, and draw your own conclusions...

And in context, Jesus was talking to the Jews and asking them why they couldn’t hear what he was saying when he was speaking the Truth to them.

Does it seem to you that leftists are “immune to the truth” or “impervious to logic” when you talk to them?

John 8
42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

Nobody takes illiterates seriously.

and hapless individuals that are on a one man jihad to make the internet safe for capitalization are annoying. it's sad and a little pathetic. there has to be a 12 step program somewhere that can help you.

surely you can find something better to do with your free time.

He's thinking of capitalizing on any opportunity that presents itself, and overplaying his hand as seems to be his modus operandi. Even Joe the Biden has the sense to accept Bibi's apology, and go on. Go on advocating the administration's position, which is his job, but not building the proverbial molehill mountain. Barak Hussein is a stubborn man, and he probably won't let go of this issue. I see a followup to Carter's book in his future, perhaps Rev. Wright will be available for the forward.

This kind of slamming Israel resonates in the Arab world. Being harsh on Israel earns 0bama brownie points in the Muslim world thus giving him more room to keep the Iraq and Afghanistan wars going. Slamming Israel helps balance out the killing of Muslims by the USA in those wars

So now you have
—0bama’s wars on Muslims
—0bama war on Jews of Israel

Passage cited:

Ahhh, the deft hand of the diplomatic savant known as bammy. Otay American Jews, you voted for this putz, when he causes the next intifada please remember why.

Response: gogogodzilla, I never intended any “threat” to Jews, but am quite content to remind them of their voting patterns vis a vie Israel. I strongly believe that the Palis will become more vocal and violent as they recognize how weak Obama is. Just sayin.

[snip] Vice President Joe Biden condemned an announcement by a mid-level Israeli official that the government had approved a planning stage -- the fourth out of seven required -- for the construction of 1,600 housing units in north Jerusalem. Assuming final approval, no ground will be broken on the project for at least three years. [unsnip]

To put the 1600 units into perspective, at the peak of growth, the state of California was building on average 800 new housing units (of all kinds) each WEEK.

You aren’t reminding any Jew that voted for Obama, because they don’t visit this site.

What you *ARE* doing is giving conservatives an excuse to dump Israel out the bus... by blaming American Jewry.

In essence, your posting is just a rehash of James Baker when he said, “F@#k the Jews, they don’t vote for us anyway.”

why Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton have chosen this particular time to issue condemnations of Israel, just when Obama would probably like to have some influence to keep them from striking Iran.

Cover. Obama knows that Israel (probably with our help)
is going to strike Iran and is using this as a disconnect.

In other words he’s trying to protect HIS legacy in case
it all goes wrong. It’s always about HIM!

Good article, and I completely agree with its conclusion:

"The last possibility, which the Journal poses, is probably right"

Then again, this episode does fit Mr. Obama’s foreign policy pattern to date: Our enemies get courted; our friends get the squeeze. It has happened to Poland, the Czech Republic, Honduras and Colombia. Now it’s Israel’s turn.

"They forgot the UK, but otherwise, that’s the likely answer. Never assign to malice alone what can be explained by incompetence. This is part and parcel of an effort to supposedly make the US more lovable by insulting our traditional allies."
