Obama, his first calls, his bows, his upcoming presentation in June...Could he be more overt in providing credence and support to Jihad in the “Arab Street”?
He does seem to have contempt for democratized allies -Israel, UK...
“I agree with your comments but also believe Obama lacks a even a basic understanding of the mid-east and the strategic importance of our relationship with the only democracy in the region.”
Oh, I think BO understands the strategic importance all to well.
Beg to disagree. Obama has a very clear understanding of the mid-east and of Israel's role.
Unfortunately, he gained that understanding from the likes of Rashid al-Khalidi and Khalid al-Mansour.
al-Khalidi was a close associate of the Obamas at the Univ of Chicago. The families often had dinner together discussing the state of the mid-east far into the night.
al-Mansour was a mentor who arranged and collected the funds to send Obama to Harvard -- where he was essentially sponsored by Arab interests.
Obama isn't bumbling around in the mid-east. He has clear direction and a plan. And "the strategic importance of our relationship with the only democracy in the region" has nothing to do with it.
