Barack Obama doesn’t have a clear idea himself, and he has been straddling the fence

That pretty much describes Obama's position, not only on Jerusalem, but on every other issue.

“I am attracted to Obama’s charisma”

Like so many other lemmings.

The will be no strike on Iran becuase they actually are dangerous

Madverts - If you believe them to be actually dangerous, wouldn't ensuring they don't get nukes be even more urgent? You make the perfect case for taking out their nuclear facilities now while they only have conventional weapons.…

Imagine the impact that a strike on Iran would have on oil prices

The strike on Iran will be against their nuclear facilities, not their oil facilities. The US doesn't even import oil from Iran. Neither Iran nor OPEC are going to stop the flow oil for any length of…

"al-Maliki had been under intense pressure from high ranking officials within the Bush Administration to state a view that was counter to that of the Obama campaign."

Mdaverts,

Are you willing to bet the extremist asholes in full, demented jihad mode were going to keep them alive

They very well could have been kept alive and tortured for months before they were murdered. We'll see if something comes out on this but, unless you know something I…

skip,

I read your link. Very revealing. Of course, I'm sure you realize that if this were occurring in the US, there'd already be at least 100 posts by now.

It's not only Iraq that Obama has flip-flopped. He's flip-flopped on campaign finance reform, he's flip-flopped on gun control, he's flip-flopped on late-term abortions, he's flip-flopped on capital punishment, he's flip-flopped on the Patriot Act, he's flip-flopped on the Trinity United Church, he's flip-flop on wearing a flag pin....and that's…

So they were incompetent, but they still planned it.

Prior to the war, Israel had contingency plans on what to do if soldiers were kidnapped by Lebanon. Israel also had contingency plans if soldiers were kidnapped by Gaza. All countries have contingency plans for military responses which is prudent,…
