Shove your race card! Our clown in the white house would be worthless if he were white or any other color. Race has nothing to do with it. Clarence Thomas is black and he is terriffic. There are plenty of good capable blacks but Obama will never be one of them. Why don't you go stick your finger or something in a dike?
32. To all talk backers
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (03.06.14)
I guess all the funding for the Iron Dome & veto's and other billions of dollars in aid isn't cooperation as well. You people are out of touch with reality.
33. The only reason this operation was successful...
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (03.06.14)
is that the U.S. was kept out of the loop until the last moment. Now the Amateurs have to try save face and make out like they were aware of the op. Listening to private citizens phone calls and reading personal and business emails they are pro's at - monitoring actual terrorists, not so much!
34. To No 30 ....
Mike ,   NZ   (03.06.14)
What a dope you are ! One thing the Israelis do well is learn from mistakes . . . something the U.S. repeatedly fails to do ! Sarah B hit the nail on the head .. never trust the current US admin. . even Putin knows how to be a reliable supporter, even though some of his friends are a bit dubious.
35. Well, US "works out plans"
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.06.14)
as usual they do without any effect or result, while others just ACT!
36. hmm...
shloime ,   toronto, canada   (03.06.14)
if this were true, why did the americans let the shipment out of the persian gulf? with all the american warships in the gulf, why wasnt it stopped for routine inspection and seized before sailing through the straits of hormuz? if any of this malarkey is true at all, it sounds like israel implemented ITS contingency plan, after the americans dropped the ball, and the shipment was almost home-free in port soudan. it's sad to see the steady stream of disinformation being floated by the white house - "you can fool some of the people.."
37. The americans want to save face. Maybe they were told...
(03.06.14)
But for sure the credit goes to the Israelies
38. to number 32 not all the Iron Dome was financed by US
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (03.06.14)
only three batteries. As for the Billions you are right. But you know what US receives back in payment ?(The Aid is not Free) The technological sharing Israel or Tecnological products in communications and Electronics tha Israel gives the US is not published. Israel is forced to buy american products even if other products are better....You keep SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL, for sure is the only thing you might really know.
39. To: No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.06.14)
It is now a strength, though, isn't it? Of course, we don't have a USS PUEBLO in our resume, do we?
40. To: No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.06.14)
Iron Dome was partly financed by American joint venture capital, as was David's Sling. So what? The brain trust behind both is Israeli. The United States has been tapping Jewish brains for a very long time. Exactly who do you think staffed the Manhattan Project? Show a little gratitude, why don't you? Without the Jews, you could still be mired down in Japan, trying to win the War in the Pacific.
41. forced, #38?
Cameron ,   USA   (03.06.14)
The US is your ONLY guaranteed & truly dependable armory and resource on the planet. You grab at all we make available.
42. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.06.14)
Israel would never have entrusted this information to the current administration. The people who would have had to have been brought into the loop do not have Israel's best interests at heart. Neither, for that matter, does Obama. The United States found out exactly when every other country in the world found out -- when Israel announced what had transpired. Israel likes to hold its friends close. And its enemies closer. The current U.S. administration is not a friend.
43. #23, 24 & 31
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam / Holland   (03.06.14)
The hate, venom, misogyn, name calling, stereo-typing, slurs and TOTAL disrespect not only for himself as president but also the office he holds, the presidency, speaks loud and clear. I can read between the lines and the underlying emotion and frustration is surely not deriving solely with perceived bad policies. The racism is there for anyone to see who can and will see.
44. don't you love it when
(03.06.14)
obama, the lame duck, takes credit for "helping israel with intelligence to intercept the arms cargo ship"????? he did nothing of the kind. israel did this operation from a to z on its own and most definitely doesn't needs the lame assistance of an incompetent week and indecisive president in the white house who messes up everything he gets involved in. israel can do without obama, believe me. they have survived fools like him in the past and will continue to rely only on israeli intelligence, not on american weak intelligence. it is the usa intelligence agencies that need israeli mossad and shin bet intelligence, not the other way around, believe me. when it comes to intelligence in the middle east, israel, not the usa, rules. when it comes to terror intelligence anywhere around the world, it is israel that rules, not the usa.
45. 20
(03.06.14)
he is going to do as much as he did about bashar al assad behavior. nothing. because he is incompetent and weak and the world community is laughing at him. he is the laughing stock of the usa.
46. @43
(03.06.14)
you are totally wrong mark. there is no racism here. what you see is a public outcry as to this president's incompetence, lies, obfuscations, taking credit where credit is not due, pissing on our constitution, ruling by presidential decree like a tyrant that doesn't need to respond to his electorate. enough is enough. we americans have had enough lies, enough tyranny from this president, enough bad economy and quite enough job losses, poor conditions here in the usa and unemployment, poor economy, inflation and the devaluation of our once strong dollar. it has zero to do with racism, which obama uses constantly against anyone who blames him for incompetence and bad policies both here and abroad. he is inept, ineffective, weak and a total clueless joke when it comes to geopolitical decisions having to do with our allies and the safety of this country. you can cry racism all you want, but the facts on the ground point to a very very weak president, a very clueless president and one that the world doesn't respect and who enemies do not fear. i can only hope that when he leaves in 2 more years, he takes all the incompetents with him that he put in the white house. good riddance.
47. # 30 Oh, I don't know
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.06.14)
seems to me that ISrael's response was more than effective against Erdogen and his paid IHH thugs nine of them died and no more attempted blockade busting half witted idiots have tried it again.. Sounds more than successful to me. MORE HOME FOR MORE JEWS !!!
48. # 43 "Mark the Magnificent"
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.06.14)
"I can read between the lines" see through walls, discern all thought from all posts.. hmm, there MUST be a position open in obamas administration for a SEER such as yourself. Hell, I detested the last Bush as much as obama, performance, or lack of the same, is how a man or woman is measured, their word being their bond obama is a proven liar and con man without any integrity whatsoever. I hated Hitler too, no racism whatsoever just hating evil where I see it. You, on the other hand are as politically blind as a bat. One must earn respect, obama has not. You wat obama? Great, when can we send him to you? BUILDING MORE HOMES FOR MORE JEWS !!!!
49. # 46 Thank you.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.06.14)
whoever you are, you said it very well. obama is the worst US President ever despite color or place of birth which is by obama's own admission, Kenya. Pray for impeachment. BUILDING DESTROYS obama BUILD ON!!!!
50. #43, Obama lover because he is Black.....this is pure racism
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.06.14)
51. POtuS Obummer takes all the credit and no blame
jimmy ,   brookyn USA   (03.06.14)
52. Think for a minute
F Callen ,   Scotland   (03.07.14)
Assuming the claim is true (it's probably an exaggeration at best), why would Obama feel the need to disclose this information to everyone? What does he think he will gain from it?
