Dispute with Israel underscores limits of U.S. power, a shifting alliance
"The [Obama] administration has been strikingly muted in its reception [of visiting Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu]. No reporters, or even photographers, were invited when Netanyahu met with Secretary of State Clinton Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President Biden on Monday or when he met with Obama on Tuesday night. There was no grand Rose Garden ceremony. Official spokesmen issued only the blandest of statements.
The cooling in the U.S.-Israel relationship coincides with an apparent deepening of Israel's diplomatic isolation. Anger has grown in Europe in the wake of Israel's suspected misuse of European passports to kill a Palestinian militant in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. On Tuesday, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband announced the expulsion of a senior diplomat over the incident, an unusually drastic step for an ally. Relations with Turkey, a rare Muslim friend of Israel for decades, have hit a new low."
Did you ever wondered what would the world say when we finally kill Usama Bin Ladin?
I just hope they wouldn't do us what they are doing to Israel for ridding the world of this piece of trash, who is responsible for murdering so many people.
Yes, this guy is not a militant he is a terrorist just like Usama.
when they decide iran is our buddy.
trouble is OPEC has purchases american influence.
get rid of foreign energy dependence,
carter saide it 40 years ago.
build those windmills and nuke plants now.
I wish this president would concentrate his efforts on jobs, or maybe on the next coming nuclear threat coming from the Islamic nut job president of Iran, instead of fighting with our friends.
On a second thought, he did concentrated on the health reform... and look were it got us.
Actually, I think liberals supported Palestine ever since the PLO was supported and trained by the Soviet Union.
But if you hold a grudge against the USSR, be advised that in 1971, the oppressive Pakistan was backed by Nixon against the largest democracy in the world (India) that was allied with the USSR to liberate East Pakistanis from oppression (and eventual formation of Bangladesh). Do you understand why polarizations such as these happen?
No they don't. We have people around here with nothing more than a 4th grade social studies education, who's political dialog consist of nothing more than a left-right shouting match.

Isn't it ironic that so many conservatives like a thoroughly socialist nation such as Israel and have no problems with US taxpayers paying for UHC in Israel...
Probably because their only "historical knowledge" consists of a book's bronze age myths that tells them sky man will get pissed if we don't support the chosen people

Do you know why Iran is called Iran?
It was Persia for many many years. They changed their name following Hitler's advice. They supported him the WWII.
Iran in Farsi is the Arian. He told them they are the white people of the Muslim world.
To go back to today. Iran's government and the Mullahs believe that Israel is the small Satan and the US is the big Satan.
The Iranian people belong to a sect that believe in bringing ARMAGEDON.
Not that it will come, but that they need to bring it in order to bring the hidden Imam and to create an Islamic Uma that would control the world. Us included.
That's their religious belief.
So you can talk with them until you are blue in the face, it's not going to matter.
Of course that not all Iranians want this to happen, the same way not all Germans were Nazis. It didn't help us then and it won't help us now.
Especially, when there was a chance for a revolution there after the "election" and our President did not support them people.

I must say your "Chosen name" really fits you.
American Jews are more loyal to Obama, they are American after all, not Israeli. Let Iran build their bomb and then they and Israel can blow one another off the planet and then finally the rest of the world can live in peace.
You can speak for yourself on that one, buddy.
I for one am far more loyal to Israel than Obama.
And you are condoning genocide? How disgusting and caveman.
