We have no friends around us. Just enemies that are less active in their pursuit of our destruction.

let me guess ...don't let the olive branch fall from his hand.

97..98...99..CHANGE HANDS!

There is nothing wrong with peace provided that its REAL PEACE and that the terms are right when it comes to negotiating that peace. Peace cannot be achieved by putting down your arms, thats not peace its taking advantage of weakness. Obamas problem is he thinks that the US must say war is never an option and as a result nobody is scared of the US anymore. The arabs have learned how to twist Obama round their little finger and the US is fast becoming a paper tiger. Iran now dictates to the US because they know Obama is terrified of them. The idea of even a political confrontation with Iran scares him and the the thought of the US carrying out air strikes ... heaven forbid such a sin be carries out as far as Obamas concerened. Barak wants peace, weather he is trying to make peace on the right terms is another matter but he is at least saying we seek peace but we are ready for war. Obama is we seek peace and war is never an option. As a politician Barak is a blunderer but at least he won't run away from war.

Barak: Left hand seeks peace, right hand on trigger ISAJAH. 2. 1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: 2And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many people shall go and say, "Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. 5O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the LORD. JOEL. 3. 10Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am strong." THE ANSWER - Joel 3 1"For behold, in those days and in that time, when I shall bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land. 11Assemble yourselves and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about; thither cause Thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. 12"Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. 13Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow--for their wickedness is great!" 14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWSATpx7uzk&feature=related ISRAEL - TAKE YOUR PIC !!!.
