Based on personal experience, you couldn't be more wrong. The US dictates nothing to Israel. In most cases, it is the other way around. We have very little control over Israeli foreign policy or actions. They don't listen to us whether it is stopping the expansion of settlements or selling American military technology to China.
It's absurd to paint this as a picture where Israel is in control. Now or in the past. I'll bet you love James Baker and Lee Hamilton who is a real freakin dullard. The Baker/Hamilton doctrine is in effect now. Bush has half cut loose Israel
It is actually a political reality. Israel will do whatever it takes to protects its national interests. We should do the same.
Your personal experience is hardly unbiased and objective. I buy it at a steep discount. I don’t care if you were ambassador to Egypt. I know Islam better than you do. Go read Jihad Watch and get a proper education on it
The plan right now is Baker/Hamilton so you should be happy.
But you are too aggrieved to admit that Islam is on a roll and if they kill off Israel they will be even more emboldened then eventually get you children and grand children
As long as we get large amounts of foreign oil we are entangled. That means oil from Saudi, Venezuela and other malcontents
We are in a great geo political battle for oil and resources. Withdraw from that and we are screwed.... And your president Obama’s plan is to jettison Israel and Iraq so to give our enemies victories
If you want a fortress America then we have to dig our coal and burn it without carbon sequestration so go tell you next president Obama that. We also have to shift a lot of vehicles to our abundant natural gas so go convince Obama on that one too
