1. Syria's Behavior Not US Responsibility
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (08.31.11)
The US is not the cop on the beat everywhere. Syria's behavior does not seem too much of an irritant for its neighbors, and is not a threat to the US. If the situation warrants, one of the neighbors will intervene. The US does not have the capability to intervene effectively and should confine itself to stating the obvious or just ignoring the situation and stating nothing.
2. empty words
colin   (08.31.11)
The black muslim american president says many empty words.His intefereing in Syrian matters derive from Assad telling him to go to hell.It kills the kaffir Derogetary word for black-the states that Syria does not want its democracy.Owwamma keepout of the area and attend to your bankrupcy.in the tiny USA.
3. Obama's words, well, this is the only thing he has to offer
Nancy E. Dunn ,   USA   (08.31.11)
to Americans and the rest of the words: words wrapped up in nice paper cover.
4. Seen "Drunk Obama " on youtube yet?
Bad assed Jew. ,   United States   (08.31.11)
and we wonder why America has problems, he's not only a drunk, he confesses to taking 'a handful of prescription drugs' with them. His performance is less than stellar. Sounds like a ghetto fall down lush. VOTE REPUBLICAN ANY REPUBLICAN.
5. The Genie's out, prepare for the Big-un! Sinners repent, ha!

6. Assad Syrian Alawite brand of Islam
moshe ,   Tivon   (08.31.11)
Is it rhetoric that calls the Assad's Syrian Alawite brand of Islam "non-Moslem" (as does the article above ) http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4115917,00.html Quite honestly, I don't know if ALL or some of the religious non-Alawite, Moslem DO exclude the Alawite brand of Islam. I would like to know exactly what is the problem ? moshe
7. Wow
allsteady ,   USA   (08.31.11)
Another day, another article whining about the US and Obama. Syria is not the US's problem, and Obama shouldn't be doing or saying anything about it. If Israel feels what is happening in Syria is an existential threat to Israel, then they should act acccordingly. Israel supporters who consistenly whine that the US isn't doing as they see best should instead take responsibility for the situation Israel finds itself it. It has had decades to resolve its problems with the Palestinians and has failed miserably to move the peace process forward. That's why Israel continues to find itself surrounded by people who hate it. Part of the reason for this is because Israel's staunch supporters blame everyone else for what is happening to Israel instead of blaming themselves (watch how at least one person will respond to this post by blaming the Palestinians for all the problems Israel faces.) The US is Isreal's last ally in the world and Israel supporters do their cause no favor by repeatedly pointing fingers at the US president.
8. To: Bad assed Jew at No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.31.11)
Sadly, Obama is not the first fall-down drunk elected to the office of the presidency. We've had more than our fair share of those, going back to Andrew Jackson. But Jackson, at least, knew how to win a war, which is something that has conrtinuously eluded Obama.
9. #7 allsteady
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (08.31.11)
Do you believe, a nuclear armed Iran is in the very own interest of the USA?
10. Asaf. Ya think so?
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (08.31.11)
ZerObamas entire administration is soon to be undone, from it's "progressive" Marxist, statist underpinnings to even the simplest so called "executive" missteps. The people of the Un ited States; those who are sentient, reject and revile the socialist takeover and redistribution of wealth, destruction of character and reshaping of the national culture. Zero's words means nothing at home. Less in his turgid alleged foreign feints.
11. Obama recently used a teleprompter to address children.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.31.11)
Recently the esteemed U.S. President used a teleprompter TWICE to address school children. It was a three minute address! Obama's abilities are clearly very limited, even if his will was good. Which is most certainly isn't. What exactly can anyone expect from Obama?
12. Americans don't care about Syria
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (08.31.11)
It is not our problem. Syria is Israel's problem. Israel MAN-UP and take care of Syria for a change. Why does Israel always have to mention the USA when it faces a security threat. MAN-UP BIBI & BARACK because America doesn't have the money now to fight anybody. It is time to step up and fight Iran & Syria & Hezbollah. Don't worry we got your back (diplomatically).
13. Obama is Still a Light-Weight
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.31.11)
Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." (Mao Tse-tung,1938) THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
14. obama's words
sas ,   isrel   (08.31.11)
"I RESIGN! "that's all he needs to say.........anything extra will only cause more harm to the usa and the world. he realy has proven to be a TOTAL failiure. whatever he touches he ruins.
15. obama's words
spt ,   israel   (09.01.11)
like toilet paper.
16. Syrians will keep dying while our failed muslum fails to act
