Turkey is "sort of" an ally, but only when it suits them.

Oh yes they are much too busy, having garage sales, to donate to Obama's failed campaign. Cute isn't it.

And much too busy coming up with lies, about the movie that has instilled violence in the Libya Region, and what a hell of a lie.

It was because of their #2 guy getting killed. The Libyans talked about it, and stated the movie, was garbage, and told of the real reason.

The whole lot of this administration are nothing but liars we cannot trust, and i hate liars.

Obama and the administration will do all they can to find a scapegoat -- anyone or anything they can shift the "blame" to, away from their foreign policy. Hillary will be right there helping to accomplish that because, as Sec of State, she doesn't want anything tarnishing her, either.

And the left will believe it.

Pretty much the same as Obama saying he wasn't sure if Egypt was an ally or an enemy.

That's quite a statement for a President who claims to know foreign policy.

His Arab Spring is in shambles, and he doesn't know what to do about it. And wants us to give him 4 more years while he dithers.

Americans that have died or came home disabled - physically and mentally, fighting these "wars" in other countries have fought and died for the US, believing they were fighting the war on terrorism and protecting the US, creating an "ally" in the process. How can we ask America to declare a war on behalf of another country and ask Americans to fight and die to satisfy the demands of another country? If it were to come down to American bending to Israel's demand, then let it be a volunteer army, without penalty who don't want to be part of Israel's war. Let Americans make the decision if they want to die for Israel.

The majority of Americans want America to get out of these "wars". Americans want to stop seeing every day the names of our military personnel and civilians being killed in these so-called "wars". We've been fighting this War on Terrorism for 10 years now. How are we doing with that? When the US withdraws from these countries they end up leaving it to new corrupt leaders who can end up being worse than the one he replaced, or we support a new "regime" that is no better than the one that was encouraged to step down. Worse yet is our support in Afghanistan of Karzai, one of the worst, corrupt, traitorous individual, who was hand picked by the US. He plays both sides of the coin and the US knows it. He tells the US what it wants to hear, collects his payment and then collects his payments from the Taliban. No different than Pakistan. Yet the US government continues to support him and sacrificing our military personnel in the process because we are in a "War on Terror".

It's truly mad to continue with these unjust wars.
Your last line speaks volumes but against who exactly? You gonna blame Israel for your invasion of Iraq? Whoa Nelly; you folks talked (begged) Israel out of flattening them the last time Iraq was raining scuds onto Israel.

Afghanistan was the home of the Taliban AND the Al Queda when the latter killed 3500 of your citizens in one blow. Israel didn't get you into either Afghanistan or Iraq and it could be effectively argued had little to do with Libya, Egypt or now Syria. Karzai wasn't put there by Israel; you folks accomplished that all on your own by losing a few billion dollars into his back pocket to help him "broaden" his "influence".

Being anti Semitic is one thing but being that to the total exclusion of using your common sense is quite another.

This is nothing more than your great orator having been brought up by Muslims and anti Semites and disliking Netty based on his childhood upbringing making him an anti-Semite himself.

Tell ya what; If you let his stupid childish and churlish behavior pattern YOUR ineffective foreign policy; you deserve what you get and that will be another war of terrible proportions in the middle east because Iran won't stop at Israel. How naive are you really?

Your enemies of today are the same ones of yesterday and Russia along with China having no choice but to deal with Iran over ALL of the middle east oil is going to leave you sitting where exactly?

Think of N. Korea, Russia, China and a host of other countries all buying oil using various currencies OTHER than the U.S. dollar ~ oooopsy.

You really think once Israel has been dealt with, it will take any longer than a heartbeat for Iran to export their leadership to the other countries of the middle east? They are all in a current state of flux just waiting for the right mix of authoritarian leadership backed up with AK's to give them direction towards the great Satan.... er, that would be you guys!

You don't support Israel, you're in for the fight of your little insignificant fancy haircut and glib speaking lives. They'll bring it to you in spades and it's been very adequately demonstrated of late, you cannot protect yourselves over there much less over here. Time to put your big boy panties on.
