PA: Obama will be responsible for failure of peace process (Outreach Alert)
Jerusalem Post ^ | 9/22/2011 | Khaled Abu Toameh

US President Barack Obama will be held responsible for the failure of the Middle East peace process, members of the Palestinian Authority delegation to the UN General Assembly meeting in New York charged on Thursday.

The latest allegation came as the PA called for anti-Obama demonstrations in protest against his opposition to the Palestinian statehood bid. Dozens of Palestinians answered the call on Thursday, demonstrating against Obama in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The protesters carried signs with anti-Obama slogans and some burned pictures of the US president, Army Radio reported.

The officials said that relations between the PA and the US were now “at their lowest” because of Obama’s opposition to PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s plan to submit a request for full membership of a Palestinian state to the UN Security Council on Friday.

Chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat said that despite the US opposition, Abbas was “determined” to submit the application to the UN on Friday.

Until Obama delivered his speech at the UN on Wednesday, Abbas and his aides were still hoping that the US Administration would change its position regarding the statehood bid.

But Obama’s speech, which some PA officials described as “pro-Israel” and “biased,” came as a shock to Abbas, according to one of his aides.

“President Abbas didn’t expect Obama to fully endorse the policies of the Israeli government,” the aide told The Jerusalem Post. “We can even say that President Abbas was very angry and disappointed by the speech.”

There is no peace process in the Middle East.....it’s all just in someone’s mind and is used to get people off track regarding Muslim Terrorists. If you take Israel out of the equation, the whole Middle East is a terrorist area and needs to turned to glass. Our military needs to get rid of the Rules of Engagement and either wipe these terrorist out or get out of the area. Note that every time we start talking about pulling our troops out, more and more terrorist attacks occur. The don’t want us out because having us there gives them more of America’s money.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Obama panders to the PA and throws Israel under the bus.

Result: both sides detest him.

But he’s so smart. He’s brilliant!

Or was that yesterday’s meme? What’s the new one?

Obama: embrace the fail!

Obama: "No, no - it's Bush's fault, the Japan tsunami, the uh, hurricane, the, uh, um, um....
....Ahh, but the strawberries - that's, that's where I had them - they laughed at me and made jokes...."

Barry’s got to do something to appear to be helping Israel.

Head fake.

The word “Taqiyya” literally means: “Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one’s beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.

He’s gotten the Arabs and Israelis to agree on something. That’s progress of a sort.

We agree that Obama is a liar and a deceiver. In fact, if you took away his lies and deceptions, he would vanish like a poof of smoke. He IS a lie. Deception is what he’s practiced all his life, and that is just a fact.

If he wins in ‘12 he will destroy Israel. That too is a fact.
