Obama's Brain Trust Taking Shape

Submitted by Ben, Feb 21, 2008 17:21

Nothing at all controversial regarding Obama's middle east stands. Absolutely agree to dialogue with Iran--it is NOT a hitler regime as Iran does not have power unless all Iranians unite behind their gov't. which would only occur as a result of a ridiculous American military move, such as invasion. Ms Powers comments on Israel, whether in context or not, are hardly controversial either. I have attended Rabbi Wolf's synagogue and heard him speak. He is a good man, and Obama must have a nice home in Chicago South Side. That part was very cool. Invasion of Iraq did far more to boost terrorrism and world antipathy for Israel. It showed that terror insurgencies can win. Israel and its supporters cannot expect US troops and taxpayers to fight its real and imagined wars. If they expect that from future Prez candidates then they are deluded spoiled brats.
