31. 27 and 29
R ,   Israel   (03.07.12)
No sense of entitlement. Israel and America's interests are the same, because with a nuclear Iran, Israel is simply America's front line. If Israel goes down, Iran will have the entire middle east at its fingertips and then it would be a matter of time before those weapons hit Europe and the U.S.
32. #27 that is the problem
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.07.12)
Facts: US interest is to support the Saudi regime. Iran is a mortal danger to the Saudis for religious and economic reasons. Iran needs nukes as insurance against US when they attack Saudi Arabia to take the oil. Syria is Iran's ally and gives them strategic depth and ability to counter attack during a war but until recently, Obama supported the Assad regime. Obama used all good will he had to eradicate Libya (to get cheap oil for Cameron and Sarkozy). Now his hands are tied and he can no longer attack Syria, a critical American interest. The Green Revolution was the last chance to peacefully prevent Iran from getting nukes. Obama supported Ahmadinejad when he crushed the Green Revolution. Obama's stupidity and Jew-hatred brought us here, where American critical interests are endangered and the US cannot act. Face it: this has nothing to do with Israel. Obama has hurt America and its people. His stupidity will bring the death of thousands of innocents. The only winners are (possibly) Putin and Ahmadinejad.
33. #15
Yosef Y ,   Coral Springs, USA   (03.07.12)
Right on, Yishar Koach. The cowardly government of Israel Is its own greatest enemy - even more than Iran. The political children's games, that are being played while the Jewish house is on fire already, is our ultimate disgrace and offense against the Jewish people.
34. Nr 28.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.07.12)
Obama is no Leader but a Person with an Dictatorial Personality in this Case, He does not cooperate. As a Comparizon - In an Orchestra all instruments are free and independent as to each other but, under the rule of the Dirrigent, they function in Harmony. This Dirrigent is the Leader. Omama fails to recognise the Reality of the Instrument Israel in this case, because in a corporate Body, each member is a reality and all members are togheter the Reality and must cooperate in a Harmony, otherwise there will be a Discord. Obama does not Play in this orchestra but has an personal agenda that does not harmonise to the whole, He has not the Vision of the orchestra. Leadership in ths case requires that Obama abandon His Egoistic agenda and see himself as an instrumen in the orchestrat only, and not as a Boss. In order for a Corporate Body to Function, some of its Members must sometimes sacrifice their own Intressts more that others, for the Body to Function, Obama doesnt. Without sacrifice there is no service which is leadership, without it, there is only egoism Arn.
35. To: No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.12)
Please point out where Hussein Obama HAS acted in pursuit of American interests as opposed to fulfillment of his own, very questionable, international agenda? By abandoning Mubarak? By embroiling the United States in Waziristan and Yemen? How about the charade in Libya? Mind telling me how tripling troop strength in South Korea serves the interests of anyone except the South Koreans? And how does the deaths of one million Iraqi and Afghani civilians serve ANYONE'S interests? Nothing "defective" there? I could go on, but I'll wait until you come up with answers to the foregoing.
36. Only Iran can trust Obama.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.07.12)
Israel can't trust Obama. America can't trust Obama. Only Iran can trust Obama. Obama always acts in the interests of the Mad Mullahs.
37. 100% on the mark sir. Thank you!
hippocrates ,   earth   (03.07.12)
38. Im eyn anu lanu az mi lanu?! SECURE BIG ISRAEL, time...peace
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (03.07.12)
39. Don't trust Obama
George ,   Miami, Florida   (03.07.12)
Obama had a muslim father and was trained in a muslim school. He will never protect Israel.
40. #2,6. You offer no rational debate whatsoever.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.07.12)
#2 and #6. While harshly criticizing this article, you offer no rational debate whatsoever. In a way, I don't blame you. There is no rational defense for Obama and his horrid policies. If I was an Obama supporter, I'd do the same. However, intelligent people quickly abandon causes which can't be rationally supported.
41. #27 - US President should act in the US interest
Canadian lawyer ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.07.12)
And a nuclear Iran is in the US interest? Come on. If the US doesn't want to do the dirty work of striking Iran's nuclear facilities, then let Israel do the job (as it did in Osirak and Syria) and then pretend hypocritically that it was always against it, while reaping the rewards.
42. 27 - this chest thumping about being "master of your destiny
split ,   US   (03.07.12)
They claim that they're sovereign and independent State then behave like we own them something and demand to take care of mess they created. My local beggar got more class than Bibi, his government and most of the warmongers on this forum, because he approches my car only on Christmas and when I let him know that it's O'K ,...
43. 35 - the deaths of one million Iraqi and Afghani civilians
split ,   US   (03.07.12)
So now Obama not Bush and his neo-con- artists is responsible for the death of over one million Iraqi and Afghani civilians and millions of homeless refugees may I add ,... BTW, I'm not Obama's fan ,...
44. To all israeli backtalkers here:
Hearland of America   (03.07.12)
Why do you expect the US/Americans to back you up, always agree with you?. What did the US do to deserve the honor, LOL. Is it OK not to agree with israel/israelis or israel is always right? I beg to differ! Do your stuff and leave the US out of your paranoia.
45. There is no difference!!!
Robert ,   Farmington   (03.07.12)
There is no difference between Satan and Obama they both want to see Israel destroyed. Come to think of it Israel would be better off trusting Satan before Obama.
46. #24
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (03.07.12)
Nor does anyone trust YOUR allegedly freely elected leader.
47. The U.S will survive a nuclear attack
Zev ,   Israel   (03.08.12)
on Israel. They will have plenty of time to react. They will then know that talks have failed. Don't worry Israel, America will take care of Iran.
48. Don't trust O....
tombaka ,   Florida   (03.08.12)
O has no interest in Israel and never has. If his slip with Sarkozy didn't clue you in nothing will. O is concerned with O right now and always. Everything revolves around his re-election and he would say anything right now to get that done. I have a sneaking suspicion he'd much rather be tooting Iran's horn right now.
49. No trust in Obama?me neither!!did not trust before-not after
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (03.08.12)
Make Obama term the shortest in America Great History!!!! NO YOU CAN'T.............
50. Obama wants Israel to be his canary in the mine
Zev ,   Israel   (03.08.12)
When the canary dies first the others know that there is a problem.
51. #47 Really?
(03.08.12)
Isn't it enough having to carry the heavy load that is called israel? take care of Iran yourself, leaveUS out of your never ending problems. Iran/israel nuke each other already!
52. American Interest only huh?
David ,   USA/Israel   (03.08.12)
All you talk backers that love to tell Israel that Obama or who ever holds office in the US, should think only of US interests should be telling it to Obama or Bush or whoever! It seems the US and UN and most of the rest of the world loves to set Israel's borders, give away their land, make Jerusalem an international city, or give half of it to the Palis. They love to put themselves in the posit of so called peacemakers with their Camp Davids etc. but when it comes to stepping up to the plate when military support is needed they are quick to cry, "It's not in our interest!" Well, if you want to stay out of Israels business, then DO IT! If you think Israel needs you then you are crazy to the point of being a danger to yourself as well as the rest of the world. Tell Obama and the rest of the world to keep their nose out of Israel's affairs!
