He said he would meet with Ahmadinejad without any preconditions.
That's an historical fact.
I do not believe him.
Another demoncrat flip flop........just spouting so as that he can get more support for things he does not support!!
[calling for an undivided Jerusalem to be its capital.]
Wowweee, that ought to be interesting.
I just LOVE stern language. That oughta do it. I am glad Iran is no longer an issue.
Flip-flops just like another canidate four years earlier.
I see. So, what’s Mr. Obama going to do, serve the Iranians tea in dirty tea cups? That sounds pretty tough to me.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Someone needs to define secured to Marketwatch.
It will be interesting to match up what he is saying now about Jerusalem with what he has said in the past. Too bad no one will make an issue of it.
RFK was assassinated by a muslim terrorist for the same exact reason...
The old cliche, "Talk is cheap," springs to mind. Especially during an election season.
And even more especially when the speaker has recently declared that it would be a peachy-keen idea for the US president to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya" with America's most rabid enemies--or something close to that, anyway.
Oh yeah, let’s withdraw from Iraq, that’ll strengthen our position with Iran!
Obama: Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of Israel (Obama says anything to get elected)
He’s only going to allow 20 hostages.
Now AIPAC’s job (should the disaster of an Obama presidency occur) will be to hold his feet to the fire. That’s why AIPAC invites all sides.
Did you notice the sparse applause for BHO?
"....listen to Barack Obama's speech from this morning to the militarist and right-wing American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
Did Obama make one mention of the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza's 1.5 million people and the UN-documented resulting humanitarian disaster there?
He did not.
Instead, Obama talked about "a Gaza controlled by Hamas with rockets raining down on Israel."
Did Obama mention U.S. government supplied Israeli firepower resulting in Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza at a ratio of 400 to 1 (Palestinian to Israeli)
He did not.
Many peace loving Israelis and Jewish Americans will be disgusted by Obama's speech today.
Like the editor at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz who wrote that the Israeli government has "lost its reason" through the brutal incarceration, devastation and deprivation of the innocent people in Gaza.
Obama told AIPAC today that "we must isolate Hamas." (In its current form.)
Did he mention that a March 2008 Haaretz poll showed that 64 percent of the Israeli people want direct negotiations for peace between Israel and Hamas, while only 28% oppose it?
He did not.
Instead, Obama said this morning that "Egypt must cut off the smuggling of weapons into Gaza."
Did he say that Israel must stop bombing the people of Gaza?
He did not.
Obama this morning told AIPAC that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."
Did Obama mention that this pledge undermines the widespread international consensus two-state solution peace plan?
He did not. So, in a nutshell:
In this critical election year, Nader/Gonzalez stands on these issues with the majority of Israelis, Palestinians, Jewish-Americans and Arab Americans.
Obama/McCain stand with the hard-line minority position of AIPAC.
Nader speaks in Portland, Maine this week seeking support.
