Contrast Netanyahu's speech with Obama's- it was embarrassing. We have a weak apologist who will say NOTHING to oppose totalitarians in the world (as Obama is one himself) and is ready to sell the Israelis down the river to his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood.
We have been the vanguards of liberty and personal freedom for over two hundred years........ until Obama. Now we reject people who support individual liberty and freedom in fear of offending murderous fascists. Obama should be impeached (and would be, in previous times).
Throw the bum out. Obama is the greatest danger to US economic prosperity and world peace.

Let's get real here.............. stamping feet and striking a "Rambo" pose scares no one.
This is what you see in films or comic books but the reality is that the World does NOT quake if America flexes it's muscles. This is not being unpatriotic or against America but to feel that threatening the World makes them hide behind the Sofa is probably one of the most out of touch things i have ever heard. If the Right wing muscle flexing works then what the hell was 9/11 or the bombing of the USS Cole etc etc etc. This is now 2012 and things are far more sophisticated now and much more is at stake with the amount of weaponry out there that can bypass any army.
Obama never apologized to anyone... please show me the transcript where Obama says sorry for America? President Obama realizes that in today's World, Coalition is far more important than stupid games of chicken.
America is still the superpower that the World looks to for reason and diplomacy and leadership........... the World does not look at blustering as leadership. We saw in Lybia how Obama got a coalition of Countries to help the uprising and it worked. America didn't lose one man or woman. This is how you lead............ by actually leading people.... not running ahead all alone and saying how tough we are.
Calling our President weak while our guys/girls are risking their lives in Afghanistan fighting OUR War is not only wrong but also dangerous for our troops.............. One thing that happened in the UK during WW2........... no matter what their views, the Brits said NOTHING. Please take a lesson from a Country that has fought many more wars than here............... While we are at WAR............. say nothing or you are just helping the enemy.
Netanyahu must decide himself what is the best action for Israel.... it is NOT a USA decision.
Obama has said that we must wait to see if diplomacy works and he is right.
If anyone attacks Iran at this moment it will give Iran the PERFECT excuse to go hell for leather to build a bomb and not a Country in the World will go against them after a attack..... Iran knows that and is "poking the bear" to get the reaction they want. Too much testosterone here is going to cause more problems than it cures.
I always tell my kids that when someone comes towards you waving a knife and shouting then that person is actually scared of you and that is what all the shouting and knife waving is about. If someone walks towards you with his hand behind his back and saying very little..... he is the one to worry about because he means to use the weapon..... he doesn't need to convince you..... you will only know about the knife when it is in you. Same applies to America............ The World knows we have the might... shouting about it makes us look weak......... we must be like Israel was years ago..... they never needed to raise their voices and the Arab world knew they would act without letting them in on it.
Stop being Mr testosterone man..... it impresses no one.
