Obama admin warns Israel, not Iran

American Thinker ^ | April 08, 2009 | Ed Lasky

[Ooh-Ah]

American Thinker has carried numerous articles over the past two years predicting that Barack Obama would prove to be an appeaser of tyrants. He has fulfilled our predictions.

His obsequiesness towards the tyrannical regime of Iran; his bowing to the Saudi king (even the Center for American Progress; closely tied to the Administration, admits Obama bowed), his television address to the Arab world on a partially Saudi-owned cable network, his expansion of aid to the Palestinians; his claim that the Muslim world has enriched America; his commitment to join the UN Human Rights Council; his first call as President was to Palestinian leader Mohammed Abbas; his gutting of defense spending -- particularly the ending of the F-22 and missile defense programs -- crucial to dealing with regimes developing nuclear weapons; his placidity towards Russia's and North Korea's aggressiveness; his apology tour of Europe; well..the list could go on and on.

Now to be truly effective, his abasement of America must also reflect itself  in the belittling and weakening our allies and friends. This he has started to do with his serial and shameful diplomatic faux pas involving Great Britain. Now he has turned his focus onto Israel -- a small nation surrounded by far more numerous and wealthy enemies -- one of which, Iran, routinely boasts that it will destroy Israel.

In the face of these manifold existential threats, what does Barack Obama do? He sends an unprecedented warning to Congress that there will be an upcoming clash with Israel and he demands that Congress support  his policies. Will he send his legion of grassroots supporters to petition their Congressional members to support the President? After all, he has told them recently that he is "keeping score" regarding the level of support they show for him.

Just in case, no one misses the message, his Vice-President, Joe Biden, to reinforce the message to Israel that traditional American support may not be forthcoming. Last night on CNN, Biden warned Israel not to attack Iran. . Israel is a sovereign nation whose people face the prospect of another Holocaust. Yet the message from the leader of a nation who has in the past been its best friend is... what? Drop dead?

Any experienced leader would realize that threats of military force is one tool that can be used with diplomacy to shape other nations' behavior. America has just sent a message to Iran that they need not take risk into account in the future. As America cuts the F-22 Raptor and missile defense programs-just a day after North Korea (allied with Iran) launches a ballistic missile, what message is Obama sending to the rest of the world?

The era of Pax Americana has ended and with it much of the security for the Western world.

If they voted for 0bama, they’re Orthodox Liberals. Their “Jewishness” means as little as whatever European background must of us have means to us.

Can we have a “do over” for last Novemeber’s election...only without McCain?

[Ev Reeman]

I warned Jewish voters not to vote for Obummer. But they did and now they must face the consequences of that action. I hope they are happy because Israel if they do not attack Iran will probably end up being nuked by Iran or by some terrorist group that will get nuclear material from Iran.

All while the Russians are selling missiles to Belarus.

“He has lost all connection to reality. And with outrageous taxes and brutal oppression he will bring about a rebellion that will plunge the empire into civil war.”

I agree and the civil war is coming. We did not have an election, it was a coup. The Democrats, ACORN and the media will rue the day they crammed this surrender monkey into the White House.

Anybody check with the American Jews who voted for zer0 for a comment ?

[Inwoodian]

How about “Nerobama”.

The jewish obama voters I know are so completely lost that there isn't anything anyone, Jewish or otherwise, could say to shake them from their belief in obama.

They "know" that they are right...they just feeeel it. It will take an Ezekiel level event or higher to wake them up and perhaps not even that will do it.

“the ancestors of...”
Descendants.

Oops, them too ;)

Um, if we create cold fronts in a warming area, won’t we suffer wind damage here on Earth?

I guess ‘Bama doesn’t like midwestern people.

So this will be the “generated crisis” that Biden talked about...big surprise...too bad so many liberal Jews voted for this anti-semite.

[Carling]

The real question is whether Iran/NK/China will attack too soon. If they wait it out a few years, Obama will have neutered the US military to the point that we would likely lose a global conflict.

If the US falls, there will be no one left to write a history.

Do you even read the crap that you link to?

[SJackson]

"Then we elected our enemies by our own free will" But not with full knowledge....We have always had a handful of wealthy, liberal Jews in this country that support all haters of Israel.

Thanks for your link, a proud "Evangelical" site reminding us all that Judaism is spiritually powered by the Devil, the Jewish World Government putting Obama in office.

And reminding everyone why many Jews won't associate with the right.

Too late rmlew, the jig is up, those "Christians" are on to us.
