Comments on: Can Obama Clear His Mideast "Ambiguity"?

In Israel, Democrat Will Face Leaders On Both Sides Of Conflict Dubious Of His Capabilities

Bush sent a high level member of his administration to hold talks on Nuclear Weapons with Iran''''s leaders! So it appears Obama is right on this issue, and Bush is nothing but a hypocrite!

it''s not like people haven''t tried talking to Iran before. Bush''s position is that it is futile to do so. As it stands now, it''s kinda looking like Bush was right.

Interesting to hear comments from Israel that they are troubled by Obama''s willingness to talk to Iran.

When President Bush was in Israel a few months ago, he made a speech where he said "Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Comparing Iran''s leaders to Hitler. This was taken as an attack on Obama''s positions.

So what do we find out last week? Bush sent a high level member of his administration to hold talks on Nuclear Weapons with Iran''s leaders! So it appears Obama is right on this issue, and Bush is nothing but a hypocrite!

what do you like about obama''s middle east plan?

Also, I can%u2019t help but notice a lot of angst among you neoconservatives. It looks like the Iraq war will wind down, even though you may want us to stay there for 100 years or so.

Senator Obama will take the fight to Al Queda in Afghanistan and beat them down like the dogs that they are.

Senator Obama will develop a real energy and environmental policy and reinvigorate the American economy, instead of dumping $1 Trillion into an unnecessary war in Iraq.

I think you should relax and enjoy the ride. Obama will become President in January and we will have a unified Democratic government for the first time in 14 years. The Republicans had such a government for 6 years and completely screwed it up by their own admission.

Let the Democrats have a chance. A lot of us have high expectations for Barack Obama and the Democrat majority in both the house and the senate. They certainly can%u2019t do worse than Bush and the Republicans.

If they screw it up, then let%u2019s make another change. But it just doesn%u2019t make any sense to reward Bush%u2019s Republican incompetence with more of the same (or worse) incompetence from Republican John McCain.

Again, relax and enjoy the Obama ride.

I really dislike this kind of yellow journalism.

There is no ambiguity in Obama''s Middle East Policy. The media is just stirring up the pot to try to keep this election close and their ratings up. It aint gonna work.

"Can Obama Clear His Mideast "Ambiguity"?"

I don''t necessarily see the ambiguity, it seems that Mr. Obama is positing that any country should have the right to have it''s capitol city remain wholly within a sovereign state, but if a city must undergo genocide to become such, then civilized people cannot condone it.

If Jerusalem cannot become a peaceful capitol without committing genocide and otherwise practicing apartheid against inhabitants who are of a different religion, then it has no right to be called a capitol city, and definitely cannot be called a "holy city" without committing blasphemy, as there is too much blood on the ground.

Perhaps it would be best to have the Israeli capitol at Tel Aviv. If people wish to posit religious reasons as to why it must be Jerusalem, then they must explain how they can abrogate the laws of Moses, which they accept as the commandments of the god of Abraham, to make it so.

Liberalism is a descriptive term, and libs love to wear it proud.....not the same as a derogatory term

Posted by Minuteman-1

If "liberal" has not been turned into a derogatory term by the right then why are so many now calling themselves "progressive" and why has the right wing blogs taken notice of this phenomena? For what it is worth I see both terms as descriptive of a political philosophy and hardly comparable to a racial slur.

Interesting, because over the last 8 years I have listened to Coulter, Rush and Hannity refer to anyone that disagreed with this administration as "liberals" in the most derogatory sense.

------------------------------------

You probably shouldn''t be listening to Coulter, Rush and Hannity. They are bad for the soul.

Doesn''t Hannity have a liberal on his TV show? That couldn''t be too derogatory. In fact, it seems fair and balanced.

Liberal, Moderate and Conservative are all valid terms which can be used in discussing political topics.
