Is this acceptable in US politics?

[peach174]

I can't wait for Bibi to address Congress just a couple weeks before the Israeli people give him the boot. He promised to keep them safe and that backfired last summer. His trip here is seen as a shallow political ploy in his home country to look relevant by lecturing the Americans and telling them what they should or shouldn't do regarding Iranian nuclear talks.

What's ironic is that Republicans stand for drug-testing welfare recipients and the world's largest recipient of American welfare is Bibi Netanyahu and his country. Here's a welfare queen that they're actually inviting over because they think tough talk and beating one's chest are fine substitutions for diplomacy.

John Boehner isn't being petty or vindictive. He actually thinks it's the right thing to do. But the joke is on him because Bibi is now the laughing stock among actual elites in America and Israel who find that he shoots his mouth off too much for a guy who hasn't put up any actual results.

Boehner is being petty and vindictive because he is trying to obstruct Obama from getting the credit for bringing Iran down off the nuclear arms ledge. The fact that it would be good for both America and the world if Obama succeeds is irrelevant. He just wants to ensure that Iran is not another success story on Obama's legacy.

Obama's foreign policy success stories?

Let's see Egypt throws out Obama's puppet Morsi and the MB and Morsi are in jail and the MB Bam Bam's fave middle east political group are declared terrorist.

Check.



Yemen is now in control of jihadists after Obama just bragged about his success there.

Check.

Oh and not to stop at trying to hand Egypt to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Bam Bam has been trying to overthrow Assad for years running weapons and monies to the opposition via the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood that some how some way found their way into the hands of ISIS.

Check. Obama has given the world ISIS.

Libya is now in the hands of jihadists and is a complete lawless state after Obama overthrew Gaddafi.

See these guys? They're partying at the US embassy in in Tripoli. Oh and they and others are in charge of one fifth of the world's oil.

Oh and then there is Obama overthrowing the duly elected President of the Ukraine that has now resulted in a serious civil war.

The monsters in Kiev have killed over 5,000 at last report in the east.

His legacy will be he's fucked up everything he's touched.

Thank you for the Faux Noise disinformation regurgitation.

Now back to the real world.

It's conservatives being conservatives, both Republicans and Israel's hardliners need a hostile Iran to help justify their fetishistic militarism .

Then how do you explain the Democrats who are also against easing up Iran's economic sanctions?
The more money they get will not go to the their people, it will go toward more war equipment and to help them to develop a nuclear bomb. Iran is the fetishistic militarism nation.
It's not just the Republicans who are against this.
Iran is a hostile nation.
They are supporting Jihad terrorists and they kill gays and oppress women's rights. Iran wants Israelis wiped off of the map.
And many of you are siding with Iran? That's sick.
Iran is not a nice nation, they never have been and they never will be. They are a evil nation.

I am willing to bet you have never met an Iranian.

I'm not talking about their citizens. I'm talking about their leaders.

You said the nation, not the leaders. Moving the goalposts again?

You are the one doing that.
The Nation is it's leaders.

U.S. Fears Chaos as Government of Yemen Falls
By SHUAIB ALMOSAWA and ROD NORDLANDJAN. 22, 2015


SANA, Yemen — The American-backed government of Yemen abruptly collapsed Thursday night, leaving the country leaderless as it is convulsed by an increasingly powerful force of pro-Iran rebels and a resurgent Qaeda.

The resignation of the president, prime minister and cabinet took American officials by surprise and heightened the risks that Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, would become even more of a breeding ground for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which has claimed responsibility for audacious anti-Western attacks — including the deadly assault on Charlie Hebdo in Paris this month.

The resignation of President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi brought full circle Yemen’s Arab Spring revolution, which ousted former President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011 amid massive popular protests. Now Mr. Saleh, who has lately made himself an unlikely ally of the Houthi rebels who toppled the government, is poised to return to the forefront of Yemeni politics.

Faux News? Au contraire!

Obama Tonight Yemen and Somalia Are Models of Success The Weekly Standard

Which part are you having trouble comprehending?

Obama is referring to taking out terrorists in Yemen with drone strikes.

Exactly and it's failing. It is not a successes story like he claims.
Even a self called progressive says it is not working.
Yemen Drone Attack Shows Failure of U.S. Policy The Progressive
The drone strikes in Yemen are achieving the dubious distinction of angering elite and mass public opinion in Yemen alike. In an interview with me in the December/January issue of The Progressive, Yemeni Nobel Peace laureate Tawakkol Karman insisted that the United States halt drone attacks in her country. And the strikes may actually be increasing extremism in her country.

"When you kill people in Yemen, these are people who have families, they have clans, and they have tribes," Gregory Johnsen of Princeton University told PBS Newshour in August. "The United States might target a particular individual because they see him as a member of Al Qaeda; what's happening on the ground is that he's being defended as a tribesman. So you have people flowing into Al Qaeda, not necessarily because they share the same ideology of Al Qaeda, but just so that they can get revenge for their tribesman who has been killed in a drone or airstrike." Last April, a Yemeni activist gave moving testimony before Congress in a rare hearing on the subject (which the Obama Administration refused to attend).
Farea al-Muslimi first laid out his pro-American inclinations: "I don't know if there is anyone on Earth that feels more thankful to America than me." Al-Muslimi actually spent a year in the United States as a high school exchange student, an experience that made him really love America. And yet he testified about how U.S. policy was making life very difficult for him. "The killing of innocent civilians by U.S. missiles in Yemen is helping to destabilize my country and create an environment from which Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula benefits," al-Muslimi said after describing the horrors of civilian casualties in his village caused by a U.S. drone attack. "What radicals had previously failed to achieve in my village, one drone strike accomplished in an instant: there is now an intense anger and growing hatred of America."

How about something with substance instead? You know, like an actual poll on drone strikes against terrorists.

I used to be a classical liberal. But I bailed because of the bloody hypocrisy of the progressives.

You have no problem with your assassinator in chief do you? He whacks whole families with his drone program.

But libs love and embrace his wanton killing even of an American child.

And the poll means nothing because most citizens don't understand who is judging who could be a terrorist.

Talk about fucking human rights violations galore. Obama should be up before La Hague and drawn and quartered for his murderous rampage.

Israel, he is helping them humiliate their president

In the 1983 Israel State Cup soccer competition, Hapoel Tel Aviv played against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The victory goal was scored by Hapoel player Gili Landau. It was a historic goal. Not because of its beauty, but because Landau, a brilliant footballer, scored the goal with his hand, under the referee's nose.

Netanyahu is not Gili Landau. Not at all. But the technique is the same technique: What isn't accomplished with the leg will be accomplished with the hand; what doesn’t work in Israel will work in Washington.

The invitation Netanyahu received from United States House of Representative Speaker John Boehner, to address a joint session of the two houses of Congress, is a brilliant electoral trick.

It is acceptable for foreign leaders in directly interfere in US politics?

The extreme right is just as hypocritical if not even more so. They are ones screeching to nuke innocent women and children in the middle east just because there are a bunch of "scary terrorists" over there. And yes, they were all for the illegal warmongering in Iraq that killed who knows how many innocent women and children.

Oh, and let's not forget that they support domestic terrorists bombing and murdering people at clinics right here in this nation.

So no, you have absolutely no room to adopt a "holier than thou" attitude. The human rights violations of your beloved extreme right would have seen Cheney charged with war crimes and Bush jr impeached for violating the Constitutional rights of millions of Americans.

U.S. Fears Chaos as Government of Yemen Falls
By SHUAIB ALMOSAWA and ROD NORDLANDJAN. 22, 2015


SANA, Yemen — The American-backed government of Yemen abruptly collapsed Thursday night, leaving the country leaderless as it is convulsed by an increasingly powerful force of pro-Iran rebels and a resurgent Qaeda.

The resignation of the president, prime minister and cabinet took American officials by surprise and heightened the risks that Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, would become even more of a breeding ground for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which has claimed responsibility for audacious anti-Western attacks — including the deadly assault on Charlie Hebdo in Paris this month.

The resignation of President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi brought full circle Yemen’s Arab Spring revolution, which ousted former President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011 amid massive popular protests. Now Mr. Saleh, who has lately made himself an unlikely ally of the Houthi rebels who toppled the government, is poised to return to the forefront of Yemeni politics.

Faux News? Au contraire!

Which part are you having trouble comprehending?

Obama is referring to taking out terrorists in Yemen with drone strikes.

Exactly and it's failing. It is not a successes story like he claims.
Even a self called progressive says it is not working.
Yemen Drone Attack Shows Failure of U.S. Policy The Progressive
The drone strikes in Yemen are achieving the dubious distinction of angering elite and mass public opinion in Yemen alike. In an interview with me in the December/January issue of The Progressive, Yemeni Nobel Peace laureate Tawakkol Karman insisted that the United States halt drone attacks in her country. And the strikes may actually be increasing extremism in her country.

"When you kill people in Yemen, these are people who have families, they have clans, and they have tribes," Gregory Johnsen of Princeton University told PBS Newshour in August. "The United States might target a particular individual because they see him as a member of Al Qaeda; what's happening on the ground is that he's being defended as a tribesman. So you have people flowing into Al Qaeda, not necessarily because they share the same ideology of Al Qaeda, but just so that they can get revenge for their tribesman who has been killed in a drone or airstrike." Last April, a Yemeni activist gave moving testimony before Congress in a rare hearing on the subject (which the Obama Administration refused to attend).
Farea al-Muslimi first laid out his pro-American inclinations: "I don't know if there is anyone on Earth that feels more thankful to America than me." Al-Muslimi actually spent a year in the United States as a high school exchange student, an experience that made him really love America. And yet he testified about how U.S. policy was making life very difficult for him. "The killing of innocent civilians by U.S. missiles in Yemen is helping to destabilize my country and create an environment from which Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula benefits," al-Muslimi said after describing the horrors of civilian casualties in his village caused by a U.S. drone attack. "What radicals had previously failed to achieve in my village, one drone strike accomplished in an instant: there is now an intense anger and growing hatred of America."

Conservative opposition to drone strikes has nothing to do with drone strikes and everything to do with the right's unwarranted contempt for Obama; where when drone strikes continue under a republican administration – and they most certainly will – we'll not hear a peep of opposition from conservatives, the very same people who are critical now.

Well this is the first Ive read about so many civilians killed. In the past I read that one prominent case of a man's son targeted along with his father, and grave concern for due process and not instant executions.

Now this is the first Ive seen conservatives might even align with left progressives who are even against war when Democrats push it. That is pretty serious if you have the right aligning with the left, when normally they wouldnt be caught dead doing so.

Politics breeds strange fellowships.

This reminds me of the hubbub over Pelosi donning a head scarf and visiting with foreign leaders. maybe we need direction mediation between Jewish Christian and Muslim leaders of both church and state, instead of conspiring to include one and exclude others and ganging up.on each other. I dont think Ive seen these countries have equal representation in negotiations under leadership that respected and included the warring factions equally; Obama may have sought to include the Muslims and Palestianians but went too far the other way to exclude Israel and their supporters. Where has there been truly equal inclusion and respect without just more sidetaking and undercutting back and forth. You cannot reach peace by skewing and hijacking the process by one side or the other. So sad our President has won the Nobel Prize but cant figure out you must remain politically neutral and all inclusive to faciltate peace. Any mediator knows you cannot take oneside over the other or you skew the process to fail.

I used to be a classical liberal. But I bailed because of the bloody hypocrisy of the progressives.

You have no problem with your assassinator in chief do you? He whacks whole families with his drone program.

But libs love and embrace his wanton killing even of an American child.

And the poll means nothing because most citizens don't understand who is judging who could be a terrorist.

Talk about fucking human rights violations galore. Obama should be up before La Hague and drawn and quartered for his murderous rampage.

The extreme right is just as hypocritical if not even more so. They are ones screeching to nuke innocent women and children in the middle east just because there are a bunch of "scary terrorists" over there. And yes, they were all for the illegal warmongering in Iraq that killed who knows how many innocent women and children.

Oh, and let's not forget that they support domestic terrorists bombing and murdering people at clinics right here in this nation.

So no, you have absolutely no room to adopt a "holier than thou" attitude. The human rights violations of your beloved extreme right would have seen Cheney charged with war crimes and Bush jr impeached for violating the Constitutional rights of millions of Americans.

And likewise, if the left progressive opposition to war isnt in it purely for antibush points, this chance to align with rightwing opposition should be welcomed and embraced. It is so rare, why not agree to work on collabortive media strategies on this point. That would be newsworthy to see prominent leaders on left and right stand united on somethng they agree is dangerously misguided
