Obama stands firm. Netanyahu backs down.

[Oldguy]

Ooop's. Sorry, Mittens. Your BFF Benjamin Netanyahu has thrown you under the bus!

After weeks of tough-talking and bellicosity, probably designed to influence our election in favor of Mitt Romney and amply taken advantage of by the GOP candidate, Benjamin Netanyahu is getting on board with sanctions against Iran, rather than imminent military action.

The hand writing is on the wall: Barack Obama will be President of the United States for the next four years and Bibi is backtracking to make the best deal he can.

Sorry, Mitt. Your friend says you're toast by his actions.

Clearly, Obama has sided with the Muslims as he said he would.

How so? And, when did he say that? Links, please.

 

[Sunni Man]

That is great news!!!

I am sick of seeing every American president kowtow to Israel and their demands.

 

[Steelplate]

Yeah? well I'm sick of our young men and women dying in the sand trap of the global golf course....not to mention trillions of our dollars.

Israel really just needs to shut the fuck up and relax.

Good and brave idea!

Tell that to the families of the Americans killed in Benghazi

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Oldguy you fucking moron, did you not know Obama said that about siding with the Muslims?

The chaos in Libya has what to do with Israel?

What was the context of that quote?

And how does that one line cherry-picked from the book relate to this thread?

Bush, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton all did similar things in similar circumstances.

It's called Diplomacy.

It's complicated, and without really knowing the players and understand the history, there is just no way you'll see the brilliance of what Obama did.

Why is it when people of your way of thinking have it challenged, they back down immediately?

WTF does that mean?

I'm asking the poster to think about the context and show how it relates to anything in this thread.

Would you support Obama nuking the Jooooozzz, to make way for the new Caliphate? He's got the Muslim Brotherhood all in place, so a quick uniting of the Muslim theocracies, and we're in business. But them Jooozzzz gotta die, they are on Muslim ground. Come on Barry, do your part for the Caliph.

Hmmmm, lets see here. He talks about Israel and you bring up the families of Americans. The two are not the same, you know.

 

[Sunni Man]

Putting a short leash on Netanyahu is not siding with the muslims.

It's just putting America's interests first and not Israels.

Something our nation's leaders should have done a long time ago.
