31. How naive can you be?!?
ch ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.30.13)
"no one in Washington plans to ease the sanctions before Iran delivers the goods. America may have become conciliatory, but it is not a sucker." PUHLEEZE!!! It's Obama we're talking about, he of the outreach to "the Muslim world." Case closed!
32. President Bush assented to Russia
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.30.13)
providing nuclear fissionable material to Natanz to start Iran's nuclear power station. A detail those attacking Obama seem to have conveniently forgotten
33. Neither was Nero.He fiddled whilst Rome was burning
Roland Seener ,   London England   (09.30.13)
34. The Israeli Leaders are the suckers.
Zev ,   Israel   (09.30.13)
When Israel learns that the world does not have Israel's interests as their priority the sooner Israel will be able to act in its best interest.
35. Orly and her absurd conclusion
Naor ,   USA   (09.30.13)
It's comical that Orly attributes the peaceful dismantiling of Syria's chemical weapons as a "win" for Obama's diplomacy strategy when in reality it was the threat of military force, and ONLY military force, that brought Russia and Syria to the table. The same will go for Iran. They will give up their nuclear program only if there is a credible threat of force.

Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (09.30.13)
Do enlighten us, alleged "world citizen": which wars the U.S. ever fought for Israel? Not one.
37. To #27 Dror, Haifa
Gideon Reader   (09.30.13)
I am sure he practiced very hard for his certification.
38. Really?
Helios ,   Israel   (09.30.13)
He sure looks like a sucka with what happen with russia, obama talks big and then is made to look foolish by Putin.
39. #14 Sarah B
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (09.30.13)
You really do find it hard to understand simple concepts don't you?
40. #26. It is about Israel's welfare, stupid.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.30.13)
We are not talking about Iran pretending to live up to treaties. We are talking about Iran's Mad Mullahs building nukes, which they've threatened to use against Israel. It is not about treaties. It's about Israel's welfare and survival, stupid.
41. #33 Roland
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.30.13)
Nero started the fires
42. written by someone who doesnt know
david ,   new york   (09.30.13)
1. obama was not elected because of his antiwar beliefs. he was elected because the economy got bad. foreign policy can get you in trouble, but it can never gain you votes in the U.S.. Kerry ran against bush on a purely anti-war platform - and lost. in the end, americans have an isolationist point of view - they believe that everyone else in the world is just like them: only caring about their TV sets and gameboys and not interested in causing trouble for anyone else. the only thing they think is important is their paycheck. 2. am i to understand that iran no longer wants to destroy us? - how did orly come to that conclusion? the entire iranian regime is based upon jihad against the US and israel. 3. i agree that sanctions are an excellent idea (although not likely to cause iran to stop making an atom bomb). obama had to be shlepped along and was very resistent on applying sanctions to iran.
43. Obama is no fool?
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (09.30.13)
Obama is no fool. Those who believe Obama are fools. Look at what Obama has said: 1. Islam is the religion of love. 2. Islamic extremists are a tiny minority. 3. The Muslim Brotherhood will bring Freedom and Democracy to Egypt. 4. The attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi was a spontaneous demonstration caused by a video. 5. Al Queda has been decimated and is on the run. 6. The US will not permit North Korea to develop a nuclear weapon. 7 . The US will not permit Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. 8. The US has Israel's back. The first five statements were absurdities, whether made seriously or in jest. The sixth and seventh statements illustrate just how substantive Obama's declarations are. In view of the above statements, the eighth statement is frightening.
44. #43 - 6. US will not permit North Korea to develop ,...
split ,   US   (09.30.13)
You're a crap peddler and a stupid one ,... On October 9, 2006, North Korea announced it had successfully conducted its first nuclear test. An underground explosion was detected ,... On January 6, 2007, the North Korean government further confirmed that it had nuclear weapons ,... President Obama was elected in Nov.2008, assumed office in Jan. 2009
45. #36 - Help yourself ,...
split ,   US   (10.01.13)
Help yourself - Google "Letter to President Clinton on Iraq" and "Letter to President Bush on the War on Terrorism" read it, check the signatures below nad call me ;) ,...
46. # 44
Stan ,   Israel   (10.01.13)
Well said, just what I wanted to send to this one among many mentally sick people.
47. # 26, 32, 41 Thank you Sarah
Stan ,   Israel   (10.01.13)
Almost the only sensible words in a sea of puke and insane hate.
48. #47. Thanks for exposing lunacy of left.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.01.13)
Thank you, Stan, for exposing the lunacy of the left. Your posts are so foolish, self righteous and nauseating that they repel anyone of even modest intelligence. Israel's left is falling fast and you give it more downward momentum.
49. Orly inhales
Yoelarry ,   New York USA   (10.01.13)
Orly, ha ha...right. Obama walks butt Backwards through a door and you take that as some kind of 'grand entrance,? Sheeeez, man.
50. #46 Thanks for exposing yourself yet again, Stan
Tahl   (10.01.13)
Siding with "split" eh? And not for the first time. Interestingly enough, hundreds of comments filled with his mean-spirited antisemitic vitriol has never extracted an ounce of criticism from you. Because for you, the only criticism is against Israel, and the only "mentally sick people" are those who stick up for Israel. You've been very consistent with this line. But good to know where you stand. The next time you'd call yourself a "Zionist", I'd quickly get the barf-bag.
51. # 50 Tahi re # 44
Stan ,   Israel   (10.01.13)
What , in your opinion is not true in #44? Please don't ignore this, I really would like to learn.
52. Obama is most brilliantly clever Prez since Washington
(10.01.13)
53. #51 Stan
Tahl   (10.01.13)
First of all, It's TahL - with an L there at the end, or טל in Hebrew. I never said that #44 is not true. My point was entirely different, and if you missed it, read what I said again.
54. Who is the real sucker.
Michael Pielet ,   Israel   (10.01.13)
No, the United States is a major power, 8 thousand miles away from Iran. Israel is a regional power next door to Iran. Iran is constantly threatening to destroy israel. Who is the real sucker?
55. #52
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.01.13)
Washington didn't have speech writers and a tele-prompter to tell him what to say.
56. isn't being incompetent enough?!
ralph   (10.01.13)
57. Thank you Sarah #41.You are on the ball !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (10.01.13)
58. Obama a fool?
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (10.02.13)
The kindest thing that can be said about Obama is that he doesn't know what he is doing. The harshest criticism that can be made of Obama is that he does know what he is doing.
59. Obama
Tish ,   Daytona Beach, Fla   (10.03.13)
Obama is a fraud & a pathological liar he cannot be trusted he supports t Terrorists like morsi and would stab Egyptians in the back to get morsi back in power America no longer has a free press. They are state run propoganda so you never hear all the evil obama is doing. The tea party is trying to save the U.S.A & most all Americans are helping them
