"Edwards blasted the White House for its close relations with Saudi Arabia and said that the country "should deal with the Saudis with a very much arm length [approach].""

Shut your frickin yapper, Breck boy. The Dems just go round and round - whatever Bush does, they're against, and if he does what they suggest, then they're against that, too.

Jewish Americans must finally wake up to the reality of voting for Democrats.

If you don't your country will be sacrificed to the Muslim horde!

"tightening economic sanctions"

Have they forgotten the sanctions against Iraq, which we were told killed 500,000 Iraqi women and children - or was it 800,000 - during the Clinton years? But no one will raise this question, not the moronic Jewish Dems, nor the press. It's all forgotten, it never happened.

The sanctions didn’t kill anyone.

It was a myth based on manipulated statistics and modeling.

Obama is a jew hater... He won’t be happy until Radical Islamists are burning Jews alive in the streets of Europe... I guess then it will be too late to take action.. maybe half a million American GI’s will have to die to fix that situation.. Liberals have lost their minds.

“But it can ask Israel to say that it is still possible for us to allow more than just this status quo of fear, terror, division. That can’t be our long-term aspiration.”

I’m trying to figure out just what that means. Is “Israel” preventing “us” from aspiring for peace? Zionist mind control? Or is it “we” control the area and Israel won’t agree to have us “allow” peace? Something else?

"The sanctions didn't kill anyone."

We were TOLD they did, over and over in the world media. My opinion is that if they killed anyone, it's because Saddam wanted it to happen so he could manipulate world opinion to lift the sanctions. When Madeline Albright was confronted with the accusation of 500,000 dead Iraqi children caused by the sanctions, she did not deny it, she justified it on the basis of the threat posed by Saddam.

Those dems are dancing with the devil. Israel cannot befriend the muzzie threat, only defeat it.

The sanctions DID NOT kill anyone - they simply made Kofi Anan and a host of other UN bureaucrats and European bankers rich. Oil for Food = Oil for Fraud!

This guy is a total idiot, has he no respect for history or any knowledge thereof? Isreal has given everything but the kitchen sink to the ROP and yet they still want more. What onus is he talking about?

Israel, the only country that has defeated it’s enemies in combat and been forced to give back conquered territory.

What Obama would like is for Israelis to jump into the sea and drown in mass suicide.

Sounds like his Moslem “roots” are showing through.

The only onus that Israel has is the onus to keep the land that GOD has decreed as theirs and take back that which they have given away in an attempt at appeasement.

If for no other reason … Balfour Accords

“When Madeline Albright was confronted with the accusation of 500,000 dead Iraqi children caused by the sanctions, she did not deny it, she justified it on the basis of the threat posed by Saddam.”

I used to think there might be something to it, but now know it was a UN scam co-written by an Iraqi. It was concocted with phony stats, birth certificates, and assumptions like women chose not to have fewer babies, many people left Iraq in those days, etc.

What they didn’t look at was death certificates. AS we have learned, Iraq isn’t Afghanistan, it has/had a relatively sophisticated medical system and burequcracy.

The Albright tv interview is famous “proof.” the way I read it, Albright was confronted with challenging the veracity of the UN - something she was ideologically loath to do.

Yes, Barack HUSSEIN Obama was. If he now says he became a Christian, why didn’t TROP put a fatwa contact out on him?

About the only act by Israel that would appease the muslims would be for every Jewish man, woman and child to rush into the sea like so many Lemmings.

My great fear is that once we’re out of the region, the muslims will regroup and stand down from offing one another long enough to present a serious threat to Israel. Isreal will probably go nuclear — literally — and the Ruskies and/or Chinese will weigh in.

Can you say “Armageddon?”

Can someone explain why it seems that the onus is always on Israel to compromise?

Does anyone else wonder why the phrase “West Bank” is always preceeded by the word “occupied?” Why don’t we then talk about occupied East Prussia or occupied South Tyrol?

I must ask you all to tone down your criticism of Barak Hussein Obama. The Rev. Al Sharpton wouldn't like it.

Furthermore, BHO is a mulatto, a graduate of a madrassa, an exclusive Hawaian prep school, and of Harvard University. Given the state of Political Correctness, Affirmative Action, and the drive toward Diversity, the man is practically on the endangered species list. Thus, the rule is he is never to be criticized, only praised, or forgiven.

Besides, as a member of all these protected groups, only he can criticize Hillary with impunity. If I were to say that the silly slut does the worst Aunt Jemima imitation I has evah hurd, I would be severely castigated or another word that rhymes wit dat that really hurts.

OTOH, BHO can say it every day, while Hillary's friend, The Rev. Al Sharpton smirks in the background. IMHO, BHO's job was to slash Hillary while the Democrats make up their mind whom they really want. He's done OK with that. He's made the black Democrat's obligatory pro-Palestinian remark, but he hasn't kissed Mrs. Arafat on the lips ....yet.

Last I checked, it wasn’t Israel who broke the peace and started lobbing rockets at civilians. I can’t stand Obama. He give all future Black politicians a bad start by playing race and victim. We’re better than that. I want to see a Black leader with ideas and morals, who doesn’t flop like a flag in a hurricane.
