Obama is losing a battle he doesn't know he's in »

Posted By berkeley 10 months, 1 week ago in Political News

Barack Obama 's chances of making a fresh start in US relations with the Muslim world, and the Middle East in particular, appear to diminish with each new wave of Israeli attacks on Palestinian targets in Gaza. That seems hardly fair, given the president-elect does not take office until January 20. But foreign wars don't wait for Washington inaugurations.

    the world is noticing, even if the corporate media doesn't care.

    if ever there was not a time for etiquette but rather a time to prove that there is substance to the style..... it is now.

      perhaps mr obama sees what a bunch of stone age throwbacks these people are. they want to rule the world.they want the entire world to treat females like they are less than human. they want to bring the world back 400 years. they won't stop till they rule the world or they are all dead.they want to shove thier religion down everybody's throat if you resist its simple you die. heres just one of many quotes from these sick depraved whackos. "She [Hamas suicide bomber Re'em Al-Riyashi] is not going to be the last because the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe."
      -Dr. Mahmud Al-Zahar, Hamas leader in Gaza, Associated Press, January 15, 2004

      Given the number of fanatic zionists Obama has appointed to his government, he is probably happy that the Israelis have attacked Gaza now. This spares him from having to make it clear that he is following the same "zioncon" foreign policy as Bush.

        "But foreign wars don't wait for Washington inaugurations."

        More likely, this one was started because of the upcoming inauguration and change of administrations.

          Whipe away those tears and fear NOT, O terrorists. Obama will probably come through for Islam soon enough. He could just be ACTing like he's for Israel, America, Liberty, freedom and Democracy, for now, is all.

          The 'world' in 1776 sat silent as less than ten percent of the American Colonists struggled for Independence.

          The 'world' [including American leaders and the Vatican] endorsed Hitler of Germany for eight years, before it blew up in their faces.

          After the end of World War One, a small piece land was set aside fro the Jews, it was called Palestine. The world sat silent as the Arab world wanted to take over after World War Two. When the Jews fought, the "world" balked. Once the nation ISRAEL existed, was recognized by the world.

          The Islamic world started the Six Day War of June 1967. They attacked again in the autumn of 1973.

          The 'world" view of Israel? As a whole the world hates Jewish people. Only need to go as far as the Book Exodus.
