    "Obama is doing the right thing. He is not president. The Congress with whom he will deal hasn't been sworn in. There is nothing Obama can do at this point in time, and his silence is appropriate."

    he wasted no time speaking out about mumbai, but when it comes to gaza?

    [crickets]

    here comes another prez who picks the cherry tree

      He wouldn't have spoken out about the mumbai attack if no Jews would have died. These attacks happen in India all the time (though not such a large scale one, but smaller ones). But, point is, as far as I can remember no US President has ever spoken out about attacks like that happening in India.

        good point explaining why he did speak out about mumbai

        as for this..... speak out against israel, speak out against the palestinians or don't speak out at all. any which way he loses. but at the same time, this is a seriously defining presidential moment, even for a president elect, and it will cast a hue across the entirety of his presidency. it will also determine how receptive the middle east will be to anything he has to say or do from here on in.

        it looks like this is just another little bonus israel has factored into the timing of this assault.

          "as far as I can remember"

          Well I guess that's the problem. You don't, can't or won't remember the Pakistani attacks on the Indian Parliament. Or the Muslim terrorist attacks on the India embassy in Afghanistan.

          Another nutscape expert that does even know basic history and is incapable of reading a book.

            Oh hello crghss...

            Let me repeat what I wrote: "But, point is, as far as I can remember no US President has ever spoken out about attacks like that happening in India."

            You took the words "As far as I can remember" and interpreted them into something different. Why did you do that?

              Hey Einstein. The sitting U.S. President DID strongly speak out against both of these attacks PLUS many other attacks in Kashmir.
