Guess he wants everyone to hate him. The Islamists hate him for killing 0sama, and now Israel hates him for foolishly demanding they return to unrealistic, and unsafe pre-1967 borders. Hamas jumped up and seconded the motion to redraw the borders, and now 0bama is trying to back track his stoopid, foolish statements.

Israel isn't the only one that holds this status. As far as I know, China holds this status with the United States also.

RFK is the first politician that I heard say, "We cannot police the world." It was a death sentence.

J. Edgar Hoover was a closet Gay with a bone to pick with everybody who was anybody. They said when he got the call from Dallas informing him that John Kennedy was dead he immediately called and cancelled Bobby Kennedy's daily limosine. Real sympathy.

This is one of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard.
Muslims (not Islamists) are a generally peaceful group of people. Just because the most radical individual of a most radical sect of a certain religion is a terrorist does NOT mean that every Muslim endorses terror. Good grief, do all Catholics endorse terror because a troubled young Catholic was in charge of the Oklahoma Federal bombing? NO

He was a sick puppy, and Roy Cohn along with him. He hated both JFK and Bobby, because they were intellectuals, classy and charismatic...all traits that he himself lacked. Hope Dante made a special circle of hell for Hoover and people like him.

You just can't convince some people that there are 1.5 BILLION Muslims; the terrorists are a tiny but lethal minority.

Pretty much the same speech Bush gave four or five times.
