It appears that Netanyahu is the only leader that is serious about bringing Iran under control. Perhaps we should enlist his help with North Korea, while the U.N. plays games. It is quite obvious that since President Obama is looking for his Nuclear weapon utopia, Israel will take care of business. I think we are making a big mistake letting our ally take care of this themselves.
It comes down to charity. We simply cannot stand by and let Israel fight this battle on their own. They need our help, and we have to give it to them. Iran is not simply a threat to Israel, they are a threat to the entire stability of the planet.
If Ben does the job, we will be better off for it. Obama doesn't know what end is up, so he is out of the process of taking care of Iran. Obama will just have talks, and give Iran what ever they want. Ben has taken out nuclear facilities twice before that we know about. Once in Iraq, and more recently in Syria, so he knows how, and has the Steelies to do it. Iran will a much bigger project though with several sites. Some are buried, and in thick concrete enclosers! We need to insure that Israel gets strong support!
IntenseDebate Notification <DIV>After reading Robert Spencer's books and especially Brigitte Gabriel's books, I am convinced that we will never win over the minds of the radical Jihadists . They are brainwashed from the time they can walk and talk – poor innocent children who are turned into killers and suicide bombers. The only recourse is to defeat them – like history repeating itself. At 77, I have had a wonderful life in spite of depressions, World wars etc. but I have never felt so afraid for my children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, they just don't get it and think, like Obama, that we can change everything with diplomacy. All this \”diplomacy\” just gives Iran more time to develop a terrible bomb to wipe out our entire electronic and electric grids–that is, if Korea doesn't do it first. Where is Stormin' Norman when we need him. </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV style=\”FONT: 10pt arial\”>
PM Netanyahu understands what it is at stake. Israel has stated that they will be hit by a nuclear bomb in the future with estimated casualties of over 1,000,000. Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi came to Washington in late March to share intelligence with the Obama administration on the Iranian nuclear threat. No one would even meet with him to discuss the situation. http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/20...
Some analysts are predicting a break with US – Israeli ties. This is a serious situation that the press is not covering.
I am not a prophet, but let me suggest a possible scenario.
Obama does nothing to stop Iran. Israel steps up and takes out Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran then launches one or two nukes that they have married to their long range missiles. Where did they get the nukes? Russia maybe? Fellow nutcases in Pakistan, possibly? There are enough places around that might have a couple of nukes available for a price.
By being provocative towards Israel and with Obama unwilling to do the hard thing, Israel could be baited to launch a preemptive strike to keep Iran from developing nukes. And they may be successful in that goal. But if Iran has a nuke or two that were purchased on the black market and the missiles to deliver them to Israel, then they will say they were justified in responding to Israel's attack.
The problem is that even if Israel had a idea that this might happen, they would still need to strike just in case it isn’t true. They might not have an option. But I believe that God would intervene to protect Israel.
Mr. Netanyahu gets it! Why doesn't Obama? We are fighting the same enemy here. An enemy who won't negotiate and sees meetings as nothing more than a triumph for their side. There is no middle ground here. SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE IS THROUGH FORCE. After all, the bully at school will only stop when you knock him flat on his backside. Negotiating only makes him feel important and empowered.
Im glad someone has nads
Guys, I really don't think Ben Net is a blow hard. He is a strong leader, and will go to all extremes to defend his country. Remeber, Israel is surrounded by hostiles. What stand would we take, under the same circumstances??
I think this could very easily be the first real test of Obama's Commandership. I think we should be ready for the next step, that appears to be inevitable…
Where is George W. when you need him???
Iran pursues a national security strategy, aimed at generating for the Islamic Republic the same security that conventional military capabilities, allies, and strategic depth — all things Iran does not have. This strategy includes developing unconventional military capabilities, including at least nuclear weapons as a last-ditch deterrent. This has been their national security strategy for over a decade, before President Ahmadinejad was elected. If the United States and its allies want to stop Iran from going all the way to nuclear weaponization, they need to be prepared to address the Islamic Republic's most fundamental security concerns. Most notably to the supreme leader.
so does most of the educated world but even bush appologized and said the evidence must have been wrong.But I think it was right it took 6 months of begging the corupt UN to back us up Like iraq wasnt listening durring that time and moving the contraban to syria but at that point what was bush to do sart a third front in an unpopular war..should have just nuetron bombed the hell out of them and taken their oil…reg.for $0.50 a gallon
It continually amazes/amuses me how people will attempt to spin things in an attempt to prop up their claims. The VAST majority of the time that people talk about taxes being raised they are talking about income taxes. Anyone who doesn't know that is an imbecile…which is good news for them because on the old scale of measuring IQ it is better than being an idiot just not quite as good as being a moron. Any failure to clarify the terms in a discussion of taxes to not include qualifiers such as \”sales\” tax or \”Social Security tax\” is doing so in a deliberate attempt to provoke a response and refutation. Otherwise, assuming that the topic is about \”income tax\” is completely valid.
sf1c06, you will find that once you have been here for a while and garner some positive feedback that your posts will no longer either be moderated or constrained in size.
He's talking about Iran using nuclear weapons in order to create conditions for the return of the 12th Imam to convert the world to Islam. I'm not an expert on the 12th Imam, but I think I have the gist of the scenario. The President of Iran has made this claim a number of times now including at the UN.
If you are not familiar with Iran's threats and stated agenda, then I would agree that his statement would be difficult to interpret.
I understand Iran: its past, its present regime and the divisions within the complex ideology and agendas within the country, and am quite familiar with Achmadenijad.
I quite simply just couldn't make much sense out of the sentence itself. I am not suggesting that anybody is dumb, or without a valid point, I just found it was written in such a way that I could only recognize a few words, and couldn't find their context well enough to get what was being said.
It's likely my failure more than anyone else, so I'm not sure why some are upset about what I wrote.
I wasn't trying to insult you or suggest that I am some know it all. I learn from others every day.
His post was difficult to read and his reply to you didn't explain what he meant. I was just giving you what I thought he was referring to–nothing more and nothing less.
To all, I have just finished reading through all of the replies associated ithe OldMarines original response where he clarified our actions in Lebanon. I am replying to this particular post because I believe it will allow this particular response to be at the end of the thread…at least for a little while.
THIS…this spirit, this patriotism, the promise of this type of unity is why I joined this site. It is this type of unity that I believe will allow us to join together to reclaim our country and get it back on track.
CharlieMac: Here's some myths for you: Obama is not a Socialist. Obama does not want to take freedoms away. And how about this: Obama starts saying this: It's Congress' fault! Allf of those are myths.
I may have to disagree with you here ForgottenGuy. I have 3 words for you. Barney Frank naked.
This is a very serious problem for the region, Europe, and the US. It is particularly complex because in involves religious prophesies, traditional hatreds, tribal alliances, territory, the right to exist, the threats to eliminate Israel, and irrational people. So far, years of diplomacy have been ineffective.
We refused to sell Israel our best conventional "bunker busting" bombs, but most don't believe that these bombs can penetrate to the depth needed in Iran's case anyway.
I've seen suggestions that commandos could do the job, but the risks for the number of those kinds of missions that would be needed would be off the charts.
Perhaps the only sure way to destroy Iran's capability is with small nuclear weapons that can penetrate to a certain depth and explode underground. But the potential repercussions from using them (Israel or the US) would be unimaginable.
However, if Israel concludes that it has become a matter of their national survival, don't be surprised if they do whatever it takes to protect their country and people.
That is a sad story and a pathetic and powerful indictment of our government. I am sorry for your loss. I hope that driver is sitting in a US prison somewhere.
If aaaah he aaaah did not ummm use a uuuuuuh teleprompter, then ummm he aaaaaah would uuuuuh need about aaaaaah 30 ummm minutes to aaaaaah say uuuuuh the aaaaah Pledge of uuuuh Allegiance.
I disagree. Carter has shown a predilection for the refugees that currently inhabit the Gaza Strip and other areas around Israel and against Israel itself. These people call themselves Palestinians, despite the fact that there was no Palestine from which to originate, so that they gain some semblance of respectability in the eyes of the world. These people are being used as pawns by others in the Arab world in order maintain a state of chaos in the area with the hope of someday annihilating the nation of Israel. Carter has espoused support for these people more than once.
I say Isreal should go ahead and use our weapons against Iran and remove the threat. Obama will not do anything on his own to stop Iran, but I hope he will at least back Isreal up in the aftermath! God Bless Isreal and her big sister too!
I do not blame Israel for having to defend themselves against aggression that most countries expect them to take. I feel the USA has to protect Israel for they are our most trusted ally. I hold my breath with all the other nations. UN is worthless. I believe that we should have lost WWII which my father was in. We should have lost on those beaches the way the Axis' were just sitting there to kill us. But God (yes, I believe in God) needed us to go over there and save the Jews. Jesus was a Jew and he died for all of us. He still was jewish and we had him with us to save the jewish as well as everybody else. I will back Israel up all the way for it is what God wants us to do…
After wars we have gone in and given away monies we could not afford to help restore cities, nations and even individuals. We are a humanitarian nation like no other.
Please, Mr. President, rather than side with those who want to bully a the tiny nation of Israel which is highly occupied with non-Israelis, may we please stand with the country hated by so many? Yes, they're mighty in strength to be so small, but we, the nation against bullies should play "big brother" and make certain that Israel knows there is someone out there who stands with them in this threat and all others. We don't have to agree with all they do, either politically or socially; we didn't the Kurds and many other nations. It's a matter of principle that I think should be given great consideration and commitment.
Thank you.
Mr. Obama,
Our country, no matter the motives that have been named, we have been a country of helping the "little guy." The Gulf War, albeit, I think, an exercise in policing another sovereign government under "U.N. mandate," was a great move to rescue, provide medical assistance and other services to the Kurds — who are also Arabic people of Muslim faith.
We have an ally in Israel, albeit is weakening. Do we want to tell the world that we won't stand by those who have trusted us and stood with us? Israel, sits on approximately 1/6th of 1% of Muslim occupied/controlled lands. And at that, they're only portion of the occupants of those few square miles. To make matters worse, they have little to no authority over the kotel (wailing wall), what's left of the 1st century temple. Meanwhile, inches away is the magnificent Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Thank God for Bibi
I don't see how many of you plan on making a difference through 912. There are so many other websites and forums that you can argue on.
Now on topic. Isreal is one of Americas true allies, and one of my greatest fears is that the Obama will not stand by them. The comments of Obama and Biden seem to lead this way. Isreal has been fighting for it's life since it's conseption, and I will not hold them to blame for doing what is needed to be done in extreamly difficult times. They are doing what is best for their people and truely understand how the Jihadists work. They live with it every day/
GO TO MSNBC [Today ] AT http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29493093/ [Obama] VOTE TO TELL, [ MSNBC ] WHAT GRADE OBAMA ,HAS EARNED SO FAR. Thanks RJK [11:40 he is still at 50/50]
Well I knew it was too good to be true I just finished reading the bottom of this page ,It seems that we can post a comment about what we think and how we feel BUT it has to go through the Gastpo Moderators. Way to go Beck ! and people wonder why our Great Country is heading the direction it is . Most people do not want to hear Reality they want to hear what makes them feel better . Wake up people this problem with Iran and Israel IS REAL!!
Netanyahu made some good points in the article that are based in reality whether I like it or not. I am not in favor of American blood being spilled; we all lose when there is a war. Israel should take care of itself as much as possible. But, there are linkages that we cannot ignore. Iran is a terrorist state, Israel an ally and this region is important to our economic stability. The best I can say about Obama is that he is naïve; I believe worse.
Some of Netanyahu's key points from the article are:
“….First, Iran’s militant proxies would be able to fire rockets and engage in other terror activities while enjoying a nuclear umbrella. This raises the stakes of any confrontation that they’d force on Israel. Instead of being a local event, however painful, it becomes a global one.
“Third, they would be able to pose a real and credible threat to the supply of oil…”
So in essence we are selectively isolationist… and when we do get involved it is not in "wars" but in "overseas contingency operations".
The problem with isolationism is that our enemies don't practice it….
Yes, and when the US held Isolationist views it was a different world and the policy was geared to us not becoming involved in European wars and conflicts. Namely the Napoleonic wars. A good book on US foreign policy is by Stephan Ambrose "Rise to Globalism"
Yeah right, asking Odumbo to do the right thing is like asking a street thug to give the money back. Mr Yahu needs to get a grip. Nothing will interfere with Odumbos personal plans to destroy the U.S. from withing. jmho
Obama is not going to do a thing in my opinion he is just another wannbe
Alot of Iraq's WMD references were made but does anybody remember the Iran and Iraq war (1980-1988). Iraq used chemical weapons on Iranian military and civilians. I believe what ever Iraq had has been long gone. Many have said that Iraq's WMD's have been a threat for many years. So dont you think that Iraq would try to get rid of any evidence of them.
You should read the book "Secrets of Saddam" by George Sadda, one of his highest ranked advisers, generals, and the father of the mig 21
Hi Madmax12, I read the book and thought it was excellent. Gen. Sadda should make the rounds of the talk shows. Certainly, from his book, it looks like the WMDs are stashed in Syria – taken out in stripped out commercial airlines during a natural disaster under the pretext of humanitarian aid. No doubt our intelligence knows all this but doesn't want to start another brouhaha – just keeping their eyes on the stash. Who knows?? I am convinced that the WMDs are out there somewhere and we did the right thing in Iraq.
The Palestinians sold them the land and the nomads (Israeli's) started building on it; they said what are you doing the nomads said starting a new life they said you cant do that, Israel said F off and so the war started the end. I cut the story short.
Anyway I'm for Israel all the way weakling Obama wont help I will I always believe one man can make a difference.
I have done little else but research these principles for over a year now by putting my nose in every relevant book I could find, reading articles by leading conservatives etc. You come across as someone who Googles something then cuts and pastes into this list.
By question everything you show a lack of principles. My principle is that America and it's people is inheritently good and there is very little room for your conspiracy theories.
If you are calling me a populist then I put it to you that you are indeed the populist. You take a word that has been used a lot lately and use it to try and demonize someone with which you cannot win an argument.
As far as it being easy to put you in the "Liberal" or "Blame America First" box – you make it easy.
I am a Question Everything Guy (since our poiticians do anything but shoot us straight… and you sound alarmingly like them) . I am a guy who likes to do things, not because there's an excuse but because there is a principal and a reason. I'm the truest conservative guy of all… that our constitution doesn't give our executive branch 'license to kill' and declare an unofficial, unconstitutional war.
I'm a The Ends Don't Justify The Means Guy, I'm A Capitalist Guy… where Merit counts and not artificial inflation (such as we have done to neglect our history in the Middle East and our role in 'asking for it')

You are a Populist, sir, because if you weren't you would take the time to research these principals and these facts I've been putting forward and "Fix reason firmly in her seat t" o think for yourself
The path of least resistance is for coward,and sir, that's why you are if you're afraid to question everything.
No Please don't put me in a box with your talk of 'liberals' or 'Blame America First' even though I know its easy for you to do
ForgottonGuy, [and Yes, I've read the Forgotten Man if that's what your name is insinuating. I'm educated, you know]
I am a Common Sense Guy, not a Blame America First guy. I'm an Each His Due Guy, not Blame American Cause It's Easy Guy…. quite the contrary. You think this is making me popular??
And let's eliminate your premise about me… that I'm a liberal. Buddy, I'm a conservative. I studied Political Science, I went to a military school (The Citadel of Charleston, SC), I've had friends die in this war, and I've had to have even more get injured. Even if I was, though, I wouldn't even wanted to be considered a Democrat or Republican anyways… that simply implies I can't think for myself.
I'm aThink for Myself Guy. Remember, it was this 'Mob' mentality that got Obama elected..

Pat, you are not a Conservative at all. The first clue is that you actually feel the need to assert that you are a conservative.
"Common sense guy" and "question everything guy" are just different ways of saying you would rather look to blame America first rather than see the intrinsic good in our country, plain and simple. You are probably one of those who bemoans the legitimacy of the constitution because some of the writers were slave owners or that they participated in genocide by giving Indians small pox blankets.
Now, to more important things: this hat of which you speak: Does it have a propeller? Yes or no?
As for calling me a populist – good job. You are expanding your vocabulary. The only problem is that you, in fact and as evidenced by your commentary, are the populist.

I hope everyone is reaching out to their friends, family, neighbors, waiters, dry cleaner, accountant, etc.. and promoting this sight. I have and will continue to enlist people!
This movement is important and if we are not growing in numbers we will lose momentum. Momentum is a funny thing, while it is hard to obtain it is very easily lost.
Please tell everyone you know to visit this thie site, together we can change the future of our country!

I hate war but our leaders cant blame us for everything like Hillary and Obama, if that is the case they are un-American to me and they shouldn't represent this country. We are not at fault no one told Europe to adopt socialism, they hate us but yet depend on us! His foreign policy is weak I hope if it does get out of hand and it will he brings in McCain to deal with it. We are the most powerful nation in the world when you state there is nothing we can do that a joke and his foreign policy is a joke.
I thought Isreal has the strongest military force in the Mid East, not to mention their own nukes. Can someone verify if that is or isn't an accurate statement? I'm just going off of personal opinion. It seems to me like they're big enough to handle their own freedom and foreign threats.
Great book you need to read: "A Nation of Sheep" by Judge Napolianto…. a conservative. He'll shoot you straight on the costs of this "pre-emptive" war at home and abroad.
Take a minute to challenge your own convictions. I'm not asking you to become a liberal. I'm asking you to think for yourself.
A retalliation against Osama and Al-Quaida were certainly in order after 9/11. An attack on Iraq, not so much, based on the standards we set. Based on those standards, our troops will never be home, because there will always be a reaosn to be pre-emptive
Please don't neglect to consider our history in our Afghanistan:
http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-1550482/A...
Please don't be that short-sighted. Look it up. Look into our history in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Syria.
Don't just trust these sites. Go everywhere. Question everything, and you may be enlightened.
You're going to justify it because you'll say something like 'human rights were being violated.' Guys, human rights are being violated in every country, including our own, and we can't even get it right here. Yes, I believe our founders were right because they understood two things: government should not impose moralities on it's citizens, and government should not impose moralities on other countries..

How many Americans will aid Israel if Obama doesn't back them? How many see Iran as a threat to the world and our freedom? I have reason to believe this missile is headed to Alaska and will explode over water why? I believe Iran is there to see how well it works and how far it goes, so they copy the blueprints and create a a concept missile.
How many will join the Israel military if Israel asks for American citizen help?

"Tis folly in one Nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its Independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favours and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate upon real favours from Nation to Nation. 'Tis an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard."
"Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent Alliances, with any portion of the foreign world."
George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796
http://www.marksquotes.com/Founding-Fathers/Washi...
Neither of these support the premise put forth by Pat.
All the ones that Pat has put forward warn of getting entangled in conflicts between other nations and therefore also do not support the premise.
Furthermore, in Pats most recent post he confused two aspects – that of war and that of law enforcement ("Pre-emptive war…. meaning pro-active war…. is against the very idea of America…. innocent until proven guilty") this is the trap that the liberals have us in right now. We had the intel that Saddam was a threat, we knew that if we went to Iraq AlQuaeda would also go. We set the time and place of the war and fought it on our terms (well…on the terms of politicians, not the professionals).
And, once again we see Pat's true "Blame America First" colors:
"And on the international front, history has shown me that is bad policy. And you say that Saddam claimed he wanted to destroy us. Don't overlook our history there. Ask yourself 'why try to kill us?' I can guarantee it's not b/c of our freedom. Maybe because we've had our agents over there stirring up the pot for decades? "
Pat stated that our founders wanted a noninterventionist government and that the belief that we should intervene with any nation as long as we get something out of it is wrong. That specifically applies to Washingtons quotes that I posted.
Another principle that you are setting as our standard. STANDARD: If there is a neglectful ruler, than it is our duty to go in and intervene….. um…. let's bomb China next, shall we? And Russia and Cuba while we're at it, since it's our principles that we're imposing. And what about the several African nations that have been committing genocide for years (and decades really, in regards to all of their neglectful leaders). Where are we? Why aren't we there? Please, tell me your reasons… because they're not pledging to destroy us?? For one, they're not pledging to destroy us because we haven't had our military intervening in their lives for decades. For two, we are financing many of these African (and middle-eastern) regimes with our money…. don't let this be abstract to you.
Please do not forget that it was our CIA that empowered the Shah in Iran, and we've been meddling ever since:

Please don't forget our role in Iraq in history: http://hnn.us/articles/1066.html

It's time to think about this with common sense. Why should we trust a president who gives bribes to a country that hates us, yet is "too tired" to meet with the prime minister of one of our biggest and oldest allies? Why should we support a president who allows muslim prayer in schools that have maybe 3 percent muslim student bodies, but does not allow christian prayer in my school, where 92 percent of the student body is mormon, and 99 percent of the student body is Christian? It just isn't common sense to me. You may say I'm too young to understand, but I say people who say that are too stuck in their socialist ways to understand. Down with Obama! Down with Socialism! Long live the 9/12 project! Long live capitalism!
Okay this is ridiculous,
Let's get to the root of the conflict of issue– the principle because that's the basis of my argument. Pre-emptive war…. meaning pro-active war…. is against the very idea of America…. innocent until proven guilty. You are saying you're guilty until proven innocent. Iraq actually did NOTHING. Imagine if that was our standard in our court rooms. If that's the standard you want to set, again I'm glad I disassociated with Republicans. And on the international front, history has shown me that is bad policy. And you say that Saddam claimed he wanted to destroy us. Don't overlook our history there. Ask yourself 'why try to kill us?' I can guarantee it's not b/c of our freedom. Maybe because we've had our agents over there stirring up the pot for decades?
[I CAN'T FIT IT ALL ON HERE. MORE BELOW. PLEASE READ IT ALL BEFORE YOU GET ALL 'REACTIONARY']
Simple answer. Isreal relies on the U.S. being it's biggest allie, providing it with the lastest and most sophisticated military power, and ultimately backing it should the sh hit the fan, and it will. Isreal could not meet it's military responsibilities without the U.S., and for Isreal not to act when there is a very real and active threat against the state, would be irresponsible. What is also irresponsible is that the U.S. has not acted yet, much less backing Isreal in acting now. Asking Daddy's permission (The UN), is unthinkable to me. If we identify a threat it must be treated like a spider. Find a big shoe and squash it, otherwise it will bite you in your sleep, and you will wake up looking like the elephant man. Waiting for terrorists to attack, and then responding seems to be a democratic (most, to be nice) response, and the response would be laughable. Pre-emptive strikes are the only way. Clinton missed Osama bin laden, or what I calll him, Bearded Puss Puss, by 4 hours. A CIA operative i.d.'d him at a certain posistion, almost a workday later, until Clinton finally got Lowinsky off him and made the decision to send some missles over to say hello, he missed the opportunity. Had he made the decision decisively and took action immediately 9/11 may, or dare I say, would, have never occurred. That is the price you pay for wait and see, instead of squashing the threat. If a guy is trying to steal my wallet, I'm not going to ask for time to think about whether I should respond and how, or whether innocent people may be harmed. I am going to pull the .40 cal sidearm that stays attached to me, and put 2 in his chest (God bless the 2nd ammendment, and my states opportunity to participate in the Concealed Carry Program), also an NRA Instructor, not that that matters, but here's another issue, in my state, Florida, crime has decreased through armed citizens in crime on carring crimes, and there's not a single time I can recall ever that a licensed concealed carry law abiding citizen has been in a situation where it wasn't declared a good shoot. My idea of gun control is using both hands, and for God sakes, having enough ammo.
(Rambling)
Great comments!
Again, yet another example of government being the problem, not the solution. They need to get out of the way and let business produce and sell like only business can and get out of the way to let our military whoop ass in the most efficient and devastaing manner possible!
HOO RAHHH!
I almost feel sorry for you. You cannot be that stupid and operate a computer. Would you fight over your home town, community, or state, or country? I'll bet you voted for Obama
He thought we were bluffing.
WHY ARE WE BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO PLEASE MUSLIMS? We do not do it for any other religion and the other religions have not DECLARED WAR ON US?
New York has opened a PUBLIC SCHOOL that teaches in ARABIC and they teach PRO ISLAMIC ciriculum

Now we have OBAMA going on arab TV and appolizing to them for America's behavior. WTF
This really gets my blood boiling.
If your a law abiding muslim and thats what you want then God Bless YA, but don't try to force me to live under your 6th Century barbarian rules. No other religion has these rights why should Muslims.
Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. I have read passages from the Koran. I have lived among them when I was in the service. It is a very VIOLENT religion
I do believe that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable. I don't believe that the U.S. should be the one to take out Iran's nuke sites. I am all for the U.S. supporting Israel, but on this one, Iran is in Israel's backyard. If Mexico or some South American country had nukes we were worried about, we wouldn't expect Israel or Britain to come take them out.
let netanyathu have at it is what i say
Messae from me to Netanyahu. SICKUM!
If Netanyahu doesn't, no one is going to.
Israel went it alone when Iraq tried to go nuclear under the leadership of a guy named Hussein and saved us all. We can only hope that history repeats itself.
Unfortunately, I fear that it will only be in the midst of another national tragedy that the majority of the people will wake up to the harsh truth. Even then, I would be willing to bet there would be more then a few to just bury their heads in the sand and scream Kevin Bacon's line from Animal House… "ALL IS WELL! REMAIN CALM! ALL IS WELL!".
We live in the land of the walking dead, zombies with no agenda, except they eat veggie burgers, and some pay taxes. Some can even form coherent sentences, but most are to busy text'ing to speak.
Although I don't like the headline take care of Iran or I will, I'm glad to see Israel willing to stand up to the Jihadists who would utterly destroy them if they could. We need to stand for freedom or die trying.
Afghanistan passed laws making it legal to rape you're wife…. If these cornholes would be REAL MEN and show respect and admiration for their WIVES, maybe… just MAYBE they'd be aware of the blessings that God gave man and wife to ENJOY… and stop blowing themselves up a disgracing humanity with their TWISTED RELIGOUS IDEOLOGY!
Maybe it’s just me… but my wife can sure make my day in a very sexy way! I just don’t feel like exploding in a market after a good romp.
In today's world, we can't afford to have a leader that won't stand up for our allies in a definitive way without hesitation. Missiles about to fly won't wait while a speech is written or for a public opinion poll to be taken. I guarantee that Mr. Netanyahu will not hesitate if he feels Israel's safety is at issue, he does not have the luxury of endless diplomacy when his country is being threatened and bombed.
A leader cannot worry about always being politically correct and popular all the time, not hurting anyones feelings or trying to be a friend to everyone. There are times where you have to act decisively and with actions to back up the tough words in order to protect the interests of those that have always been our allies and that believe in freedom over terror.
(oh wait, I forgot, we don't have terrorists anymore…my bad)
