It is impossible not to notice the timing of this week’s incipient Middle East regional war. It comes approximately one week after Barack Obama was re-elected to the presidency. Last Tuesday, Obama won re-election; four days later, Hamas began firing rockets on Israel’s southern cities in a new wave. The day after that, Syria began shelling Israeli positions in the north. And two days after that, the Palestinian Authority told the press that they would be making another bid for statehood at the United Nations; the same day, riots began in Jordan over gas price increases.
The region is descending into war because of weakness in the White House – but also because each of the regional players, with the exception of Israel and the current Jordanian and Turkish governments (both of them have been silent), has an interest in war. Obama’s empty chair foreign policy has incentivized virtually every anti-American regime in the region into greater aggressiveness. Now Obama is attempting to stuff the genie back into the bottle by issuing statements of support for Israel. But it’s too little too late.
Too late is right, Israel always knew that the president does not have there back, so israel do what you have to do and DON'T answer the phone when Obama calls, light those terrorist AS/HOLES UP.
ReplyDeleteGood.Too little, too late,whichever you prefer.Every American should be with Obama on this one.He made his intentions known throughout his campaign.Israel is not the Israel of old.They are a much more aggressive,hostile nation now than before.We need not get invovlved.
ReplyDeleteObama will do nothing against the Muslim Brotherhood. Why, because he is one of them.

ReplyDeleteI am and this country should be, in total support of Israel.
ReplyDeleteBut this country itself isn't what it should be.
Israel's last war against Egypt took all but six days, sic 'um Benny!
ReplyDelete6:05-I'm glad that god said "I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations" I too am a Christian as you obviously are,but god clearly stated "I", not we.
