| Democratic presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama vowed Wednesday he would work to "eliminate" the threat posed by Iran to security in the Middle East and around the globe. "There's no greater threat to Israel or to the peace and stability of the region than Iran," he told the powerful pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Council (AIPAC). "The danger from Iran is grave and real and my goal will be to eliminate this threat," he said, adding loudly to add emphasis that he would "everything" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. |

It's hard to believe him with who is on his support team....FR Thread:
Samantha Power and Obama's Foreign Policy Team

*******************EXCERPT INTRO*****************
Senator Barack Obama, though impressive in his oratorical abilities, may not have the foreign policy experience that many would like to see, or that his opponents possess. It is reasonable to expect that he may rely on the foreign policy advisors he has chosen to a greater extent than would a new president more adequately grounded in foreign affairs and national security matters.
Over the past month, controversy has erupted over the issue of Senator Obama's foreign policy advisers and the impact that they might have on a future President Obama's policies toward Israel, and on American foreign policy in the broader region. Articles in the Washington Post, Newsweek, American Thinker, New York Sun, Politico, Commentary Magazine, The New Republic, CAMERA and other publications have precipitated this controversy.
Is it possible that Obama is the Great Mahdi that Amadinejad is predicting will come and save the world and eliminate the unbelievers? Or maybe Osama is the Anti-Christ? Boggles the mind!
I think I say a thread that said he might accept McCain’s Townhall challenge....could get interesting.,
That's what my GrandMa always used to say.
Let me get the bus off her and she will tell you that.....
In a fixed setting with a prepared speech I believe Obama "looks" and "sounds" btter, as long as you aren't looking for anything substanative.
In a town hall atmosphere, or a true debate, I believe McCain will eat him up.
I guess, in a perverse way, giving Iran one free shot with a nuclear weapon aimed at Israel would reduce the threat Iran poses to the Middle East since the weapon would eliminate Israel.
Hence, no more threat to the Middle East.
Slick, Obama.
and in another speechhe says "The threat of Iran is TINY, compared to the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
He also said he will help Israel with a missile defense, that in another speech he said he will defund.
Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worsty, horrific disaster in our nation's history.
Karl Rove said that was what he thought on Greta’s show ...
First thing you know Obambi will be for the war.
O will simply declare Iran not to be a threat.
This Guy is counting on the Mass Media to cover for him....
I heard this bozo on FOX this morning reading this “speech.” I haven’t heard that many lies, one after another, in a long time. Obama now “hearts” Israel. Yeah. Right.
That Bus is going to get a lot of bodies under it before this is over.
Media Obamathon message:
THERE WILL BE NO BLOOD......
McCain mocks Obama on Iran during pro-Israel speech ( Calls for Sanctions not Talks with Iran )
********************************************
So we have a difference....McCain will apply sanctions....Obama wants to do :
Nothing has really changed!
