Yet again, Obama has failed on the world stage. Copenhagen, Chicago Olympics, his Iran policy (let’s be honest, everyone has failed), despised by the British press, annoyed a large number of leaders in American ally nations……and now Israel has said no. Again
Aides to Israel’s prime minister said Thursday that he has officially rejected President Barack Obama’s demand to suspend all construction in contested east Jerusalem, a move that threatens to entrench a year-old deadlock in Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking.
The aides said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his government’s position to Obama over the weekend, ahead of the scheduled arrival later Thursday of the U.S. president’s special Mideast envoy, George Mitchell. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the contact between the two leaders was private.
Remember when Democrats demanded that the US stop meddling in the affairs of other nations? Say, I wonder why Obama doesn’t demand that Islamists stop their use of suicide bombers, going after Israeli civilians, calls for the destruction of Israel, and lobbing rockets, which are apparently a big mystery: Mystery rocket explodes in Jordan
A rocket has exploded near the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba, damaging a warehouse but causing no casualties.
It was one of two fired early on Thursday morning which landed in Jordanian territory – the other fell harmlessly into the sea.
There are conflicting reports as to where the rockets were launched.
Israeli military sources say they came from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, but both Egyptian and Jordanian officials denied they were fired from their countries.
Israeli media reports say that the rockets were aimed at the Israeli town of Eilat.
According to an unnamed Jordanian security official, both were Katyusha rockets.
I’m not sure what the big mystery is to the Jew haters at the BBC. Apparently, they are unable to put 1 and 1 together and come up with “Islamists”, who are the ones who use Katyusha rockets. Perhaps Barry could pull out Secretary Teleprompter and give them a good talking too. On second thought, no, since it would probably turn into an anti-Israeli screed.

Thanks a lot Israel for increasing the danger to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan looks like a one way friendship to
: Petraeus Warns Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mullen that Israel Is Jeopardizing US Security Interests
Veteran military and foreign affairs analyst and author Mark Perry reports that CENTCOM commander General David Petraeus dispatched a team of senior military officers in January to brief Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Admiral Michael Mullen on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Perry reports that the briefers told Mullen that “Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardizing US standing in the region.†[includes rush transcript]
Say I wonder why the rightwing always wants to send our military all over the world to fix problems that aren’t ours. Teach are you aware that Israel has a higher rate of abortion than we do AND does it through their socialist healthcare ? Or that women must ride int he back of their buses because the ultr orthodox are concerned that they may be in their once a month “unclean” time ? Teach why not focus on the place where the most death is occuring, the Dempcratic Republic of the Congo. This is where christians have been killing and raping MILLIONS over the last decade with the worst group being the Lord’s Resistance Army. Should christians be expected to clean their own house(s) before pointing their fingers at other religions ?
Petraeus Warns Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mullen that Israel Is Jeopardizing US Security Interests
Of course, since this narrative met with your approval, you missed the part where Petraeus said that not only were his comments taken out of context, but were also distorted. He provided the context and his remarks do not support your contention here.
Say I wonder why the rightwing always wants to send our military all over the world to fix problems that aren’t ours.
No one wants to send the military everywhere so that is simply a lie and deflection on your part. However, when the supposedly neutral UN has “peacekeeping troops” in the area who watch as attacks against Israel are made, that is an issue that does need to be addressed. Israel is an ally and only people on the left want to allow allies to be attacked without our support.
Teach are you aware that Israel has a higher rate of abortion than we do AND does it through their socialist healthcare ?
Are you aware that you are wrong?
Abortion rates per 1000 people:
US: 4.0945 per 1000 people
Israel: 2.47077 per 1000 people

Or that women must ride int he back of their buses because the ultr orthodox are concerned that they may be in their once a month “unclean†time ?
Factually false again. Israel has several companies providing bus service within cities. There is a sect of Orthodox Judaism that has ruled that woman should sit in the back of the bus, but not all lines and buses require that.
Teach why not focus on the place where the most death is occuring, the Dempcratic Republic of the Congo.
This is rich. You complain that the Right wants to send the military everywhere and then demand that the military go to another area of conflict.
Of course, the UN has forces in the Congo which according to those on the left, should be enough.
This is where christians have been killing and raping MILLIONS over the last decade with the worst group being the Lord’s Resistance Army.
Factually false again. The LRA bears no resemblance to Christians and their tenants do not conform to any type of traditional Christianity.
In other words, it is convenient for you to say “look at the Christians!” simply because some radical group calls themselves “Christian.”
A better, more reasoned approach is to look at the beliefs and actions of a religion and see if a group conforms and exhibits those beliefs.
It is the old saying that you can “put a ribbon on a sow’s ear, but that won’t make her the belle of the ball.”
Now of course none of your writing is anything other than a deflection of the points in the post, mainly that someone is lobbying rockets at Israel. Apparently that is acceptable to you which is quite sad.
Either way, the points you tried to make in your response have been thoroughly refuted and your ignorance has been further exposed.
john ryan, you are lying piece of shit. We already posted Petraeu’s own words in refutation of the frigging LIE you just repeated here.
You once claimed, in an earlier post, that you Are a Christian?
Bullshit.
