The goal of obama, is to eliminate the Israeli problem. The question that nobody has or will ask him is, what will you do when Syria and it's minions retaliate? Will you defend Israel in a war that you started? Limited strike? Insane!!!

Nothing will bring about a new, Arab entity called "Palestine". They have their country in Jordan; we in turn, need to start behaving like grown up, independent YES -WE- CAN- country, that we actually are! Then all this reading of coffee-sludge will become pointless.

The entire world is talking about Syria, and deciding if they should pitch in to stop the killing. Most countries didn't care about the Syrian civil until now (the US included) but Assad is on the ropes and the Russians are trying to negotiate a stop to the killing solely because one man has made it the worlds headline. His name is Barak Obama. He is not a king. He must get permission to take America to war. It his not his fault that Americans, and others, don't give a damn about Syrian deaths.

Unless America is overtly attacked the American people do not or will not go to war in the middle east or any place else, unless the US government chooses to do so without public support and as you can see, it is not an easy sell regardless of how many civilians die. The bottom line is Americans believe that there are many more pressing issues in the States that require our attention and dwindling budgets.

Given Obama's horrid record, it is ludicrous to expect him to keep any promises he might make. Obama will do NOTHING good for either America or Israel. That is reality; as hard as it is for some to accept it.

With a bit of luck ,you will be far away soon.

The last paragraph sums up the question of Iran's WMD quite nicely. As, "at least," a Moslem sympathizer, HBO wants to stall for time and not carry out his "meaningless" pledges to keep Iran from getting nukes. By stalling, he allows the Mullahs to get ever closer to, or attain, their nuclear goals. HBO is treacherous to all, but especially Israel vis-a-vis Iran.

Obama already dug his own grave.He will go down in history as the most cowardly president ever to rule the US. He is a disgrace to a great nation

Obama also did more in one week to destroy Egypt with his MB-based Arab Spring. Same with Libya and his AQ toadies. How do you answer Obama's non-response to 110,000 deaths by conventional weapons in Syria? If I was you, I'd choose my heroes more carefully.

Of course Iran is the greatest threat first to Israel then to Europe and later the US.Of course the US can carry out military attacks on Syria and Iran without permission - its self-defense. Poison gas attacks could target US bases in the region. Establishing a no-fly zone over Syria in 2011and destroying chemical weapons would have been the best choice but no-one wanted to intervene. Now we see poison gas attacks. The reason for trying to stop their use is that while over 40,000 civilians have been killed I conventional shelling attacks, many people found shelter. There is no shelter from a silent killer like poison gas. If Assad gets away with using it then Iran will speed up nuclear enrichment and go for the bomb confident that no-one but Israel will try to stop it. .

...and start paying Palestinians billions in compensation. All proceeds from offshore gas development has to be set aside for reparations. Forget about Iran. Iran has done nothing wrong except having Israel nearby. New Zealand is still paying millions in compensation for dodgy land deals 150 years after the event. Israel has a long way to go.

The article correctly points out that this is really about Obama's credibility. However, Obama dug his hole even deeper by specifically saying that his credibility was NOT on the line.

give it back to the indigenous people, the mories. I understand your concern. You, just like arab aggrevise occupying colonist are afraid that the indigenous people, which happens to be the jews for israel (arabs as their name indicates are aggresive colonists from the arabian peninsula). Please spread your jewhatred amongst your jewhating buddies and do not insult out intelligence!

What connection did the white settlers have to NZ when they occupied it? Correct, they had none. They did have economic greed though. You see where I'm going with this, don't you...

The only reason Obama has any relevance whatsoever is because Bibi is a coward. Obama would be completely irrelevant if Bibi could only say "NO" to his evil demands. The two biggest dangers Israel faces are Iranian nukes and "peace talks with Palestinians", who would love to mass murder us all. Israel needs to end both. Nobody will help us, just as nobody helped win our wars, carry out Entebbe and destroy Iraqi and Syrian nukes.

Please, just attend to your herd of sheep on the occupied NZ Land and dispense with giving advice.

BhO can enjoyn hismself in the contorted steps and misteps he did on the syrain gas affair; at the end of the day he loose a dozen point in opinion polls and that's it.Israel does not have the luxury of BhO in setps and misteps.Here the choice is to surive or to die.To survive we have to act on our own and with all our might.BhO will not lift one single eyebrow to help us , quite the opposite.

and unlike cats he has no-one to spare... His first way out is to bomb Iran, else he would have lost integrity and reputation too, beause BIBI will never thrust him again.!!! His second and last way out is to step forward as a sunni Islamic follower, then people will understand they got -nothing ....

And BIBI knows this, but it is hard to teach people the truth if nobody wants to listen to you. Nobody wanted to listen to me so far and people sure are having a hard time listening to GOD. Don't they?! America doesn't rule the world and money doesn't make her go around.... GOD DOES!!! You have finely come home......, to find the world more lost than ever.......... Unfortunately we all live on this world so if we are to survive, we need to get to the truth of all of it. GODS TRUTH. If not, we are all going to loose everything.

the man is a mediocrity who thinks that he is a genius. it is a miracle that the middle east is not more chaotic than it is. he will never do anything about iran. in his deepest recesses he does not believe that iran should not have nuclear weapons--and he would be too much of a coward to do anything about it.
