Obama seeks to head off Israeli ground invasion in Gaza

"Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired onto its territory. If that can be accomplished without the ramping up of military activity in Gaza that's preferable," Obama said. "That's not just preferable for the people of Gaza. It's also preferable for Israelis, because if Israeli troops are in Gaza, they're much more at risk of fatalities or being wounded."

Obama is no doubt giving his Muslim buddies time to regroup and attack Israel.

Seems like being pro Israel is uncommon in Christianity nowadays. But I will always side with them. Besides God will take care of Israel, and may judge America for not siding with them.

Who said he’s leaving? He’s got a great gig going on there and like Clinton before him, does not want to give up all that free stuff and worship from his masses. As he has totally ignored the Constitution to date, he will ignore leaving office. The Clintons had Mac McLarty looking into a way around the Constitution up until the moment they walked out of the WH, Bubba wanted to stay so badly. This group has many Clintonians working within. They will find a way.

What a moronic statement by the Marxist POSIC. Of course, any soldier who is doing what he is supposed to do is more likely to be wounded or killed. What else should I expect from a man who is not worthy to even tie the boot laces of the lowliest elisted soldier in any military any where?

If the Israelis listen to Obama, they deserve what they get. There is only one way to stop those idiots firing missles at them, and that is to physically invade and clean up. There has never been a time in history where an aggressor country has stopped on it’s own, truce or not. They will continue until they are invaded and trounced. Obama has nothing to lose by shooting off his mouth, except to cause the Israelis a month’s more grief before they do get to the realization that there is nothing else they can do. Then they will do it. Guaranteed!

Israel will stand down at Obama’s Request or he will blockade the state, freeze assets and break off diplomatic relations. Israel would not last two week under this—threat. He might even send troops to Gaza to protect the land from Israel or send the Hamas better weapons! No—Israel better think twice about ticking off Obama. He is the most powerful man on earth.

That is so true. Are they ever in for a rude awakening. Attacking God’s chosen will only bring His wrath. I wouldn’t want to be those people. Even so, glory to God!
