Obama has now Officially turned his back on Israel.
His ties to the Muslim World are stronger.
For the first time, I'm scared. News reports today that (a) Iran appears to be building missile bases in Venezuela; and (b) Obama ENDORSES Palestinian demands to push Israel back to the indefensible (literally) pre-1967 borders. Meanwhile, America continues its insane experiment with a Commander in Chief more clueless than Carter in a world grown far more dangerous.
Netanyahu Rejects Obama Call for Palestinian State Based on 1967 Borders

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu swiftly rejected President Obama's call Thursday for Israel to pull back to the borders that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War, calling those lines militarily "indefensible."
Obama, in a sweeping address tackling the uprisings in the Middle East and the stalled peace process, stunned Washington and Jerusalem by endorsing Palestinians' demand for their own state based on the pre-1967 borders. The break with longstanding U.S. policy appeared to immediately aggravate the Israelis, who want the borders of any future Palestinian state determined through negotiations.
In a statement released late Thursday, Netanyahu said such a withdrawal would jeopardize Israel's security and leave major West Bank settlements outside Israeli borders.
"Israel appreciates President Obama's commitment to peace," the statement said. "Israel believes that for peace to endure between Israelis and Palestinians, the viability of a Palestinian state cannot come at the expense of the viability of the one and only Jewish state. That is why Prime Minister Netanyahu expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of U.S. commitments made to Israel in 2004. ... Among other things, those commitments relate to Israel not having to withdraw to the 1967 lines."

well at least you are honest about it.....when we posted similar sentiments about Bush.....we got called unAmerican, unpatriotic, and told to leave the country if we couldn't support the duly elected president of the United States. Liberals are much nicer people, I won't say any of those things to you.
