Israel is an American value

I think that’s absolutely true and it explains why Obamalot’s attempt to sandbag Bibi before he arrived to speak to Congress blew up in their face. Not only did they spend the next few days backing and filling to explain what their leader really meant, the Congress, itself, rebuked them with all those standing ovations for Bibi, who likewise eviscerated Obamalot.

Says Walter Russell Mead: “Obama’s political isolation on this issue, and the haste with which liberal Democrats like Nancy Pelosi left the embattled President to take the heat alone, testify to the pervasive sense in American politics that Israel is an American value.  Said the Minority Leader to the Prime Minister: ‘I think it’s clear that both sides of the Capitol believe you advance the cause of peace.’”

Next up, from the so-called Palestinian Arabs, a new intifada. To be answered, undoubtedly, with air strikes and artillery.

UPDATE: New CAMERA Poll finds “The overwhelming majority of American Jews are cognizant of threats to Israel, protective of the country, cautious about risks and strongly opposed to such measures as boycotts, including boycotts of settlements.”

Obama: Our anti-Israel president

Bret Stephens is a former editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post. But he’s still a sharp enough journalist to recognize mendacity when he hears it in between all the usual bromides.

“…the essence of his proposal is that Israel should cede territory, put itself into a weaker position, and then hope for the best…,” Stephens writes in the Wall Street Journal.

“What, then, would a pro-Israel president do? He would tell Palestinians that there is no right of return. He would make the reform of the Arab mindset toward Israel the centerpiece of his peace efforts. He would outline hard and specific consequences should Hamas join the government.

“Such a vision could lay the groundwork for peace. What Mr. Obama offered is a formula for war….”

A war that we will likely finance with the millions of dollars in welfare “aid” we still dole out to the terror-loving Palestinians every year.

AND:  Jerusalem specifically asked Obama before his speech not to adopt the Palestinian position of the “1967 lines” (which actually refers to the 1949 armistice lines) but they got a rebuke when our anti-Israel president did it anyway.

MORE:  There really should be no surprise here, considering Barry’s background, including his anti-Jewish pastor of twenty-something years.

Bibi to Obamalot: Return to 1845 borders

“Netanyahu spoke of the injustice and hardship Mexicans have endured since American forces annexed Texas in 1845.

“‘Tens of thousands of ordinary Mexicans were driven out of their homes – the only homes they had known for centuries – and forced to live in poverty and squalor south of the border imposed by American aggression,’ Netanyahu said. ‘The Israeli and Mexican people agree on this: This festering wound will never heal until America takes bold steps to return to the internationally accepted lines of 1845.'”

Nice joke. Hits the spot. I certainly wouldn’t miss California.

Why the birthers will live on

Because, as Richard Fernandez says, they, and a growing part of the electorate who don’t care about the birth certificate, don’t trust Obama.

“At least part of this mistrust springs from the reticence of Obama himself. He has cloaked his school records and civil documents in confidentiality and it was normal to wonder at the contents of a locked box. It is impossible to understand the birth certificate drama without realizing that was never about the birth certificate document. It was about building or destroying trust in Obama.”

UPDATE:  For instance, Osama was supposedly “quickly buried at sea.” If this was Bush in office, nobody in the media would buy that. It’s truly touching that they’re buying it when Barry is prez. But why should anyone else? Something is fishy here, and it’s more than the O Man.

MORE: Meanwhile, Obamalot’s story of the alleged killing of OBL is unraveling. But his supporters say, hey, if you don’t trust him, you’re a racist! Yeah, that’ll convince ’em.

Whose side is Obamalot on?

“Can anyone detect a pattern here?  Mubarak must go.  Qadaffi must go.  But no diplomatic pressure on Assad, nor, aside from the occasional Obama video, any tough talk to the Iranians.”

Can anyone in Obamalot play this game?

The Obama Curse

Everything this guy touches, or endorses, turns to you-know-what. For instance? The Libyan rebels.

Stupid warmongers

I really can’t see why American troops have to risk their lives “for the Libyan people.” Let the Libyan people get off their fat asses and get rid of their own dictator. Why should our guys die to save them?

So the Democrats and the Hildabeast can look decisive, tough, etc.? She/they simply look like stupid warmongers. Backing the Iranian freedom fighters would have been worth something to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, naturally, we didn’t do that.

“The whole of Libya is not worth the bones of a single American pilot.”

I know, I know. It’s all about the damned oil and our (now, thanks to the Democrats) shaky economy. Always the oil. Can’t drill at home, tho. Oh, no.
