Why are people "OK" with Obamas LACK OF MILITARY EXPERIENCE!>!??!

[slaveboy1980]

Israel is our biggest and best Ally. Their Military is as good if not better than ours. They are currently helping with the war on terror. They have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but that info is not made public since all muslim countries would flip if they knew this. The Israel government has also giving us a ton of intelligence on how to deal with terrorist and how the terrorist mind works. They are the duty experts. All super powers need allies, its just how things work.

simply put:

usa doesnt need israel....but israel needs usa.

helping with war on terror? fuck how stupid are you. israel is a terrorist state....and hell no the palestinians arent innocent..but they deserve their own country.

Israel is the biggest terrorist nation on earth, they attack whomever they want with impunity and their nukes program is as advanced as any on earth.

Just yesterday, John McCain acted very unpresidential regarding our strike in Syria:


So how does the McCain campaign respond to sporadic news reports that U.S. special forces carried out an attack in Syrian territory? Well a responsible campaign (i.e. the Obama campaign) would follow the White House's lead and offer no comment until they got more information. But instead the McCain campaign opts for blatant politicization. Here is McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb:

"Syria is a state sponsor of terror and a sanctuary for terrorists that target U.S. troops in Iraq, yet Barack Obama has pledged to meet personally and unconditionally with Syria's leaders during his first year in office. While John McCain has been demanding that Syria do more to crack down on terrorists moving from its territory into Iraq, Barack Obama allowed one of his closest foreign policy advisers to travel to Syria for discussions with the leaders of that rogue regime. Barack Obama opposed the surge, voted against funding for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and demanded the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. If Barack Obama had his way, U.S. forces would not have been in a position to launch this strike. So does Barack Obama support this action -- an action that would not even have been possible if his policies had been implemented?"

This is so absurd. Let me count the ways. First, McCain is once again demonstrating the recklessness and impulsiveness that makes one question whether he can in fact be commander in chief. There is only one proper response to this. The same response that the Obama campaign gave, which is that you just simply don't discuss a military operation if the White House and the military are refusing to comment. The issue is a sensitive one and a question of national security. You take your lead from them and wait until you have all the facts, instead of trying to score cheap political points.

Second, here is the McCain campaign accusing Senator Obama of supposedly not being willing to crossover into Syria, even though he has rightly not commented on it at all. But Senator McCain has previously mocked Senator Obama for being willing to go into Pakistan and go after high value Al Qaeda targets. The intelligence community tells us that the greatest threat to the homeland and the place where an attack would most likely be planned is on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. But the McCain campaign seems to be arguing that smuggling routes from Syria into Iraq are a higher priority target than terrorist training camps in Pakistan. That is an exact rehash of invading Iraq to fight terrorism, while taking your eye off of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. We've tried it before. It didn't work.

Finally, there is the argument about not meeting with Syria. Here is the thing. Israeli PM Olmert has stated publicly that Israel should move to direct negotiations directly with the Syrians and the Israelis are currently in talks through a Turkish mediator. Ambassador Nick Burns, who was Bush's point man on Iran for three years, had a piece out this weekend arguing for direct talks with our enemies. Colin Powell, James Baker, the Iraq Study Group, and numerous Republican foreign policy experts have all called for talks with Syria. McCain is the odd man out on this one.

John McCain has been on the Senete defense and military panels for years.

you want those muslims over there to stop hating us? all we need to do is stop supporting Israel unconditionally no matter what they do and they'll stop hating us, that's the real reason they hate the US.

Squad you know that aint gonna happen. I questioned that when I was 20. Why the fuck do we chose Israel to safeguard like that... and

[slaveboy1980]

yeah its just a load of hyprocrisy....

when israeli soldiers kill palestinians they are doing their job...but when palestinians kill israelis they are labeled terrorist.

same thing with what USA has been doing in afghanistan and iraq

and look at the nuclear programs = more hypocrisy.....israel can have nukes but Iran cant? (and no..im not a fan of the terrible mullah regime in Iran that is terrorising its own nation)

what usa is doing is polarizing the whole situation which will never lead to peace.

[CQ]

simply put:

usa doesnt need israel....but israel needs usa.

The USA is an unlimited ATM to Israel, they are the largest recipient of foriegn aid from the USA, bar none. Google before anyone calls me a liar, the USA gov *borrrows* money from other nations to give to Israel, have for many years, and is stuck paying the interest and still has the debt outstanding.

[240 is Back]

which makes it even more baffling why he spoke on this, when he should have not.

US military.
bush.
Obama.

They all are silent on the strikes.

Only McCain is talking - and that's somehting you don't do.

THAT!!! is one major thing i hate about Israel.

You can critisize EVERY country in the world, but if you do that with Israel, your antisemitic!! A Nazi!!!!

Israel is a faschist shithole of a country, one of the biggest terrorist nations to ever exist on this earth and NO, i don't have anything against jews.

Same principle here, I despise racism of all kinds and wouldn't dream of thinking let alone saying an anti-semitic statement. In fact, I greatly appreciate and respect the history of the Jewish community joining the civil rights struggle on a personal level, as their help afforded me the freedoms I now enjoy. That said, there is no love lost between me and Israel, or as some say the occupied territory. That does of course not extend to Israeli's, same as I don't dislike Americans even though I strongly object to the US interventionist and death bringing foreign policy. The gov are not the people, and I never lump the two together.

The simple truth about September 11 is that America burned itself and now tries to burn the world.

[THEBOSS]

it's the typical redneck, cowboy, beer swilling, pseudo tough guy attitude that has made this country hated all over the world, fuccking John Wayne bullshit.

The last time I checked ALL THE PEOPLE you talk about want to live in the US ! Why is that ?

[THEBOSS]

Funny how all the radical Islamic terrorist groups are hoping for an Obama presidency.  Maybe that should be a better indicator of what we DON'T do.  C'mon guys, pull your heads out of your asses.

Thats just another OBAMA coinsidence ! Like the CHURCH and the WIFE and BROTHER and DAD and ACORN or the terorist ect ect ! this is a bunch of idiets trying to display their intellect with a blatent display of patrinization ! Its pathetic !
