The small state of Israel, about 7 million people, will keep the U.S. embroiled in controversial wars and military actions in the Middle-East forever.
They use our soldiers, our military arsenal, our money, to fight their wars.

It is time for the U.S. to reevaluate our relationship with Israel, it is a very one way pact we have with them.

I have long felt that our dealings with Israel were never to the benefit of the U.S. We have been used by Israel for many years to fight their battles and it is time for it to stop.

If talking to your adversaries might prevent a physical encounter and the resultant deaths and costs, weouldn''t it be wise to do so?

I am 100% behind Obama''s plan to talk to our enemies or potential enemies. It is called diplomacy, something that the evil Bush cabal knows nothing about.

The alternative is always close at hand and military action is always an alternative.

I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt who said, "speak softly and carry a big stick".

Bush is a fool and a hypocrite. Didn''t he talk to Kaddafi and North Korea? I can''t believe that this idiot is still representing the U.S.

Just one more nugget from the first World Trade Center attack:

In 1994, four followers of an Egyptian cleric, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, were convicted of roles in the bombing, whose reported mastermind, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, was captured in 1995 and convicted in 1997.

Anybody seen bin Laden?

Also, Clinton had been in office 4-weeks at the time of the first World Trade Center bombing. Can you imagine if both bombings had occurred under a Bush presidency?

Clinton Seems to Defend Obama after apparent Bush swipe

Hillary was supposed to WIN in the state of (PA) by (20 Points)


Obama Cut and Narrowed that Point Rate to a 9 1/2 Point Win for Hillary Clinton.


Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton, Knew Obama was going to Win in (NC) and put all their Millions and supposed influence via the Media, with Bill Clinton`s Persona hitting (17 NC Very, Very, Rural Counties), Chelsea at all NC Colleges, Universities & Jr. Colleges and Hillary Hitting NC Middle American Homes and Lost By a Landslide !!!

The Clinton`s Lost Money, Time, & Media Influence, in a State the Clinton`s Knew, they were going to Lose Big !!!


Obama spent little time or Money on W. Virginia & Kentucky, He puts his Time in on states like (oregon), which he will... WIN BIG !!...

Yet again, Clinton Spent Million , Time an Energy, and still Won by only 40%, Opposed to the Projected Bill Clinton 80-90 Point W. Virgia Win.

2 PAST & PRESENT PRESNDENTIAL ...

HYPOCRITES SO ARE (YOU)

Clinton & Bush can Give Access to USA Ports, to those that Finance ''Terorrism'' They`re White...Its Alright !!

Critics say the takeover raises security concerns, noting that two of the hijackers in the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington came from the UAE and that the hijackers drew funds from bank accounts in Dubai, the financial center of the Persian Gulf.

But a port security expert said security fears are based on "Bigotry" Against Arabs.

"This whole notion that Dubai is going to control or set standards for U.S. ports is a canard," said Kim Petersen, head of SeaSecure, a U.S.-based maritime security company, and executive director of the Maritime Security Council, which represents 70 percent of the world`s ocean shipping.

The agreement is scheduled to take effect March 2. It was approved by the federal Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States, which includes representatives of the FBI, Pentagon and Treasury, Commerce and Homeland Security departments.

Dubai Ports World recently acquired the British-based firm that currently directs commercial operations at those ports, Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation. The takeover by Dubai Ports World means that it will be in charge of those operations.

Former President Clinton stands to reap around $20 million -- and will sever a politically sensitive partnership tie to Dubai -- by ending his high-profile business relationship with the investment firm of billionaire friend Ron Burkle.

Note: Mr. Clinton is negotiating to end his relationship with Mr. Burkles Yucaipa Cos. as part of a broader effort to protect the presidential campaign of his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, from potential conflicts of interest. Details of Mr. Clintons involvement in Yucaipa and his efforts to unwind it come from documents and interviews with people familiar

UAE: Some United Arab Emirates Piloted the (911 Planes)

Bill Clinton & George W. Bush Pushed the Deal Through and threatedned to VETO any Opposition, to the Deal Passing !!


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Tuesday Defended a Deal that would let a United Arab Emirates-based company run some key U.S. Seaports, telling reporters that he would Veto any Bill to hold up the Agreement.

Bush, who has yet to veto a bill during his administration, warned that the United States is sending "Mixed Signals" by attacking a Middle Eastern company after the ports were run by a British firm for several years.

Lawmakers who have called for the deal to be Blocked need to "Step Up and Explain why a Middle Eastern Company is held to a different standard," he said.

Among the lawmakers from both parties threatening to hold up the deal is Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.

"If the administration cannot Delay the process, I plan on introducing legislation to ENSURE that the deal is placed on hold until this decision gets a more thorough review," Frist, a Tennessee Republican, said.

The administration has faced criticism this week over its decision to let a subsidiary of UAE government-controlled maritime management firm Dubai Ports World run ports in New York and New Jersey; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; Miami, Florida; and New Orleans, Louisiana. (See where the ports are)

"VOTE OBAMA !!! ITS TIME FOR BLACKS TO FINALLY RISE ABOVE THE WHITE RACE -- ITS OUR TIME NOW ,, LETS DO THIS !!!!" Posted by eatmochick

Do your buddies in the kkk know you are on these threads pretending to pass for "colored"? Your phrasing, and content reveal you for what you are, and the fact that you would post such idiocy with the hope that you might scare some "Whites" from voting will certainly backfire, those that cannot deal with the prospect of a "Black" president have already made up their minds.

The only candidate still left in this campaign that would don an apron and offer our terrorist enemies appeasement(baked goodies from the White House kitchen stove) is lil'' Hillary. Somebody may want to warn lil'' missy that terrorist don''t lob softballs or play powder-puff football.

Instead of running for president, maybe lil'' miss can form a new rock band, "lil'' missy & The Moonshine Boys), and they can tour hillbillie country(Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky)promoting their new hit single, "Sipping Moonshine & Pipe Dreaming About A Girl Becoming President". Good-night John Boy. What a bunch of weenies, "Ma" & "Pa" all their kin. Don''t forget to make some vittles Granny...

dante805, I don''t think anyone who supports this current corrupt regime should be saying the DEMs are corrupt. The DEMS have been the minority party these least 8 years when the country has taken a turn for the worst. What is wrong with you people? As a matter of fact, I put some of the blame for the country''s woes on you morons as you continue to support his failed policies and even had the audacity to get him re-elected. I hope you are proud of yourselves.
