Yotta ,   Canada   (08.22.12)
This guy shouldn't be giving advise to anyone, he should be in prison for war crimes.
2. Obama doesn't need to ask congress to authorize use of force

Obama will take or not take action on anything and everything based on what will get him the most votes come election time.

6. Elliot Abrams - Most hated man in America
Nina ,   NYC   (08.22.12)
Along with Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and a slew of neocons. Nobody gives a flying F what Elliot Abrams thinks.
7. Hear O Israel: Obama 'WANTS" Israel taken out.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (08.22.12)
This is his true desire, seen in every stance and body language. For this evil man, Allah Akbar is the most beautiful sound he has ever heard.
8. Unpopular acts should wait till after the election....
Lemmings Hotine ,   sd usa   (08.22.12)
Abandonning Israel to its enemies would be an unpopular although not unprecedented act. Obama must do this after the election , in order not to appear as an Arab Springer/Moslem Fundamentalist sympathizer. Thats why he pressures Israel to wait.
9. #1 which war crime?
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.22.12)
I do not know this Eliot Abrams guy, but I am interested to know which war crimes he commited. Ordering the execution of four unarmed people? Taking insufficient precaution when opening fire, leading to the deaths of innocents? Illegally attacking civilian infrastructure and assassination of political leaders in sovereign states with which you are not in a state of war? If these are the crimes you mean, the name is Obama not Abrams.
10. BULLSHIT !!!! Obama would never keep
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.22.12)
his commitment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11. #9. Abrams was an Arms smuggler
pennylane   (08.22.12)
The irony is that he smuggled sophisticated anti aircraft and anti armour systems to the iranians.
12. #11
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.22.12)
Is arms smuggling a war crime? For instance, giving Libyan or Syrian "rebels" antitank weapons in violation of international law, is that a war crime? And if arms smuggling is really a war crime, did this Abrams smuggle the weapons by himself, or was he doing it under orders of someone else, say, a US president? And if arms smuggling is a war crime, and this Abrams is personally responsible, why was he never prosecuted?
13. # 6 Tommy Franks who led the invasion
ben   (08.22.12)
into Afganastan and Iraq call Douglas Fieth " the Dumest fraking man on the planet" It is ubbelievable how this tiny cabal got control of the government of the USA
14. Will we be able to fool the US into attacking Iran for us?
ZionistBill ,   Israel   (08.22.12)
It would be great if we could, but I doubt we'll be able to get the US to do our dirty work for us. If only Americans were as stupid as that ynet poster who calls herself "israel israeli" THEN we could make them do anything. Why, oh why, do we have so many morons like "israel israeli" in our ranks? It really makes us look like a nation of morons!
