“Only one thing prevents him from entirely forsaking Israel - his reelection. Complete abandonment of Israel would jeopardize that ambition.”
Similar thoughts to post #7 by elpadre, except for the timeline. Are the powers that pull Obama’s strings threading the needle to account for both possibilities?
Obama is poking America. They have to have a revolution in order to force on America Hillary and socialism/communism. They are getting bolder and bolder in their poking - the immigration issue and speech, going to the UN instead of Congress re: Libya, etc. They will get even worse before they’re done. They want us to rise up in revolt. We have to remain peaceful yet resolute. Otherwise, we’ll be playing into their hands.
0 announced that US policy is now to abandon Israel, Yemen, Bahrain; support the Muslim Brotherhood; and turn a blind eye to the Iranian nuclear program. He is capitalizing on the assassination of bin Laden to completely undermine 40 years of US policy in the region, because he knows that any criticism from Republicans - of which there has been precious little - will be countered by the left and the MSM, who will answer any attack by saying “how dare you attack the great leader who got bin Laden!”
0 is a calculating monster, and you can tell by how swiftly he moved to capitalize on the situation created by bin Laden’s death to completely reverse US policy.
In the battle that must go on inside this monster to inflict more damage even if it would mean defeat to his reelection bid, or to delay and disguise his true intentions in order to secure another term, I suspect that his vanity and narcissism will win out. But once that is accomplished and he is unconstrained, the damage this evil fraud will do will be incalculable.
