Foreign press is there I go to get info these days. Most of the American media can not be trusted to tell the truth. Particularly American TV media, they are out right liars and propagandists for the Marxist Obama. The British, Canadian and Russian print media are my favorites now. I have completely given up on watch TV news, even Fox news sucks now.

The disaster that is Obamma's foreign policy is being revealed. The arabs in the middle east no longer fear us for they know we are goverened by a paper tiger.

What frigthens me is that, from a purely pragmatic, amoral, Machiavellian point of view there is a way to solve the middle east "problem": allow Iran to destroy Israel. And I am becoming convinvced that is that strategy of this amoral, Machiavellian president.

Supposedly, all arab hatred of the U.S. derives from our support of Israel (intelligent people realize that is the "excuse" they use rather than the reason). But, no more Israel, no more arab hatred against the U.S. (if you are as simple-minded as Obama).

I have not seem the 2016 movie, but having read about it one thing needs no further prove in my mind - Obama has some sort of Messianic complex where he thinks it is incumbent on him to restore "fairness". In his mind, fairness is a return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders for Israel (then "fairness" will be allowing the right of return and claims for lost property).

In Obama's mind, "fairness" is to take from the wealthy and give to the poor. Fairness is to have all nations operate on the same level - which requires the U.S. to be pulled down to the living standards of the rest of the world. "Fairness" to Obama is a compliant Congress and a lap-dog Supreme Court.

Israel will soon attack Iran, because Netanyahu knows the existence of Israel depends on his actions. Pre-election, Obama will have to at least appear neutral (or supportive) or risk the election. If he wins re-election, I have no doubt he will actively seek the elimination of the state of Israel. Bibi knows it's now or never. Only if Romney soon is seen to pull out to a huge lead can Bibi risk going past the election. I believe he has the lives of millions of Israelis in his hands and taking any gamble risks losing them.

. So, what positive spin can the State Department put on this? "At least no Marines were killed?" in a jab at Reagan?

Either that or they feel comfortable knowing that they have a comrade in the brotherhood.

Wouldn't help, anyway -- the ME was a violent mess long before the current version of Israel was founded. Just look at British foreign-policy history -- every century, the same issue: The Eastern Question.
