In comments that were surprisingly bellicose even for the current political environment, President Obama bragged loudly about the number of people he’s killed today, urging hawks who don’t think he’s hawkish enough to “ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top al-Qaeda leaders who’ve been taken off the field.”
He could’ve also advised them to ask thousands of Pakistanis, Afghans and Iraqis as well, or the Anwar al-Awlaki, the US citizen he assassinated earlier this year, but the point was already made: an Obama Administration kills lots of people, and they’re pretty sure that’s what voters are in the market for.
Moving beyond that, Obama went on to more familiar hawkish territory, trotting out his usual “all options are on the table” threat against Iran, comments which appear timed to resonate through the Republican Jewish Coalition Conference, which itself centered on potential Obama foes bragging about how quickly and on how little pretext they’d attack Iran.
“Today Iran is isolated and the world is united in applying the toughest sanctions that Iran has ever experienced,” added Obama, saying his administration had done more to unite the world against Iran than the Bush Administration had.
so they sanction irans central bank , close down all their embassies, and only now are iranians leaving the country?!?! That's all it took?
It's on folks. Get your bunkers ready. We're all gonna die.
All of his recent ramblings and atrocities should put him in line for the next Nobel Peace Prize. What a complete dork he is.
New issue of Der Spiegel: The Russian NATO-Ambassador went to Washington and asked, "If Mars people had completely disarmed Iran, would you still deploy the missiles in Bulgaria, Romania and Poland ?" They answered: "Yes, that will go ahead as decided." Trident missile engineer Bob Aldridge -www.plrc.org-wrote: "Whether they are on ships or land, they are still a necessary component for an unanswerable first strike."
He has become a mouthpiece for Israeli hatred. They are conditioning the American population through fear and racist hatred to prepare for another destructive war.
Lets see, some 70% of the people think the wars are a mistake and want to bring the troops and our dollars home. In 2008, these people were conned into voting for Obama.
If you want peace, send a message by voting for a Peace Candidate. A real one, not an Obama-like liar. Maybe that's Ron Paul in the primaries/caucuses. If Paul doesn't get the Republican nomination, then there will certainly be others on the ballot in the fall. Last time there were at least three Barr, McKinney and Nader. They got something like 2% to 3% between them.
When the 70% of the people who want the wars to end start voting for the candidates who will really end the wars, that's when things will start to change.
US is in deep economic trouble and went in this position by destroying Iran biggest enemy Saddam. Iran has never been so strong
Before they can start any more war the 99 per ceters will hopefully get rid of them.
Iran is not "isolated". Lots of countries do business with Iran and will continue to do so. They've go oil and the world has to have it. I find the present American military activites interesting. Makes me think of an aging, over weight drunk who still thinks he can intimidate the neighborhood.
Obama is just engaging in a little 'pimp-talking' for his Israeli masters.
May those who resist Zio-American aggression prevail.
Freedom! Autonomy! Liberty!
