Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (02.18.13)
fighting Israel's wars is a "sign of stupidity." Obama surrounds himself with clowns thinking it will somehow make him look better. You really ought to apply for a job under him.

Lash ,   USA   (02.19.13)
That's the best he can get, nobody in their right mind of integrety would join forces with this illegal president.
12. America doesn't fight Israel's wars
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.19.13)
If anything, the reverse is true. Israel destroyed the Osirac reactor in Baghdad, much to the dismay of the United States. Sanctions ensued. Of course, not quite a decade later, the United States found itself embroiled in the Gulf War of 1991. Would have been quite a different war, would it not, had the United States and its fragile "coalition" had to face a nuclear Saddam Hussein. In 2007, Israel destroyed the North Korean-built nuclear reactor in Syria. Take a look at what's going on in Syria, and do the math. And anyone that doesn't think that the carnage would easily spill over the border into Turkey is a complete fool. It already has, just not on the scale that one would be facing were Syria a nuclear power. Israel monitors all those weapons of mass destruction in Syria, Israel makes sure that nothing moves into Lebanon and Israel makes sure that the top leadership of Iran's Revolutionary Guard is thwarted at every turn. That certainly helps the Saudis and the residents of the Emirates sleep more peacefully at night. If anything -- the United States imposed an arms embargo on the fledgling State of Israel, leaving Israel vulnerable to the Arab onslaught that was sure to come, and did. The U.S. just didn't count on our resolve. They still severely underestimate Israel. With Obama, Kerry and Hagel at the helm -- Moe, Larry and Curly -- all we're waiting to see is who emerges as Shemp.
13. Hating America
Shachar Shalev ,   Eilat   (02.19.13)
Seems there are many right-wing extremist talk-backers who hate America more than they hate the Arabs or Iranians. They seem to despise much of the Israeli population as well. Perhaps they believe we should be destroying Americas nuclear program and eliminating half of our own population before dealing with the minor problems of Iran and the Arab world etc
