Big decision for Obama whether to become involved or stand back. I think standing back would be the best, this way he could spend more time on the golf courses and his basketballing, he may be overdue for a vacation. He should not have to spend his time campaigning now but this he likes to do, perhaps he can campaign for his fellow Democrat congressional people. He is a good standbacker.
Just in case I missed the change I did some quick research to determine what land masses were considered part of the United States. As it turns out I was correct, neither Israel, Gaza, Syria, nor Egypt fall under the United States. I also noted that not one of those countries shared a border withe the US nor do any of those countries produce any oil that is sold in the US. I fact I can't fid a single thing that any of those countries do to contribute the the wealth or security of the United States.
Why should it have to concern the US? Leave them be and if they want to kill each other, go for it. I'm sure Isreal will come out on top. Another four years of Obama flying around the world meeting with leaders of countries who hate us. Obama needs to stay home to deal with what is going on here. Michelle is noted for her vacations, and the children have seen more of the world that any other First Children. Whether the Obama's pay for these trips or not, it still cost tax payers millions for security.
The United States does have a difficult row to hoe with regard to the middle east. On one side we have radical right wing fundamental Islamists in control of Gaza and on the other we have radical Jewish fundamentalists in control of Israel. Neither side will give an inch and eventually there will be massive distruction in the middle east because each side would rather die than give an inch to the other side.
The United States really needs to find and develop alternatives to petroleum as a primary energy source. The nut cases on both sides will eventually destroy access to the petroleum reserves in the middle east. And, it appears that will happen sooner rather than later.
For those that may claim the U.S. can attain petroleum self-sufficiency I remind them that U.S. petroleum is sold on the world market and when the middle east petroleum is no longer available China, India and the EU will bid up the price of U.S. petroleum.
If the sequence of events escalate as you suspect, U.S. oil can be declared as a national resource and kept at home for reasonable prices. Failing that an incredibly high export tariff could be imposed. There is no reason we should have to bid against the world for us to enjoy our own resources.
Mr. esteemed director of the International Monetary Fund Greetings and after I like to inform you that what is being fabricated of events within Egyptian territory and that security Thikha views and Astbartah order control in stock prices in order to reap profits in the form of systematic fraud hidden under the leadership of fun and is the Antichrist, who warned him all divine religions and whose real name is Mohammed Abdel Fattah Abdel Hamid agent and is Powered national security and all those strong existing field hatched them that game for that matter, and evidence of this when the demonstrators to go to the Abbasid headquarters of the armed forces have been dealt with firmly and dimensions of the demonstrators, but What happens Mohamed Mahmoud Street and these demonstrations, which lasted five days leave the government in order to reap profits Almttsmaren who sell under those concerns and is a type of systematic fraud under the care of security
coucou, this is a second chance for Obama to prove to the Americans that they made the right choice. The world also awaits, especially the Syrian and Palestinian peoples. "au revoir"
Don't hold your breath. Despite all Obama's blathering about Israeli support, they have already publicly mentioned the Obama administration is the most hostile to Israels interests yet. That story vanished quickly too.
Under Clinton the US attempted to negotiate a peace between Israel and Palestine but under Bush, the US used force to further Israel's interest by invading Iraq and other actions. Obama started by saying the US would be more equal between Israel and Palestine but his actions were pro-Israel. The failure of the peace talks were the US opportunity to back out of the conflict but Omama refused to take it. As long as the US backs the right-wing government in Israel, Israel will continue its current path of force to subjugate the Palestinians. The US should abstain from Palestinians UN bid to make Israel face reality.
The Palestinians created a problem for themselves by electing terrorists to their government. They started shooting first. For several months. Israel finally got fed up and popped them. Shooting at people will never win negotiating points. Make Palestine in Gaza a nation? Then there is a genuine nation state instead of a few terrorists to declare war against when they start shooting against. I doubt the regular Palestinians truly want that.
'The president could choose to stand back for a while'. The president stood back for his first four years with regard to foreign affairs why shouldn't he stand back for the next four.
The analysis is dead wrong.The situation does not allow the president to be " highly active ".He can only lie low and let things take their own course like in post-Gaddafi Libya.There are,as he said famously,bound to be bumps in the road.Morsi is a huge bump,till date !

TRY FACTS!
