........................Simply put, Washington’s behavior makes no strategic sense. First, it stabbed its ally Hosni Mubarak in the back; then it sought to block Saudi intervention in Bahrain, which was necessary to forestall an Iranian-backed Shiite victory; and now it has intervened in a civil and tribal war in which the rebels might well be radical Islamists or subsumed by Islamists.
All this reinforces the Israeli view that Washington has lost it. A mix of strategic weariness and naïve ideology supporting a half-baked doctrine of sporadic intervention for humanitarian reasons is a recipe for growing uncertainty about American wisdom and leadership. Many Middle Eastern states will distance themselves from an unreliable U.S., especially if its leaders appear to be misguided amateurs.......................................
How about the right wing crazies are whip sawing all the issues and making this great country look like a bunch of loons? Obama should just tell you losers to stick to your meetings and keep jerking each other off, that's all you fools are good for. No sane person takes you seriously.

Who is pulling your strings Woodenhead? Are they being careful not to disturb the termites?
How can you say that? There isn't a sane Liberal left in this country.
I predict in a decade, Israel & the US will wish Mubarack, Qadaffi & even Assad were still in power. This rising power in the Middle East will be just like Iran right now.
Israel needs to button down the hatches and ride out the Obama presidency, don't expect any support.
