If you were an Israeli citizen and a lobbying group financed by Hamas sympathizers bought 99% of your politicians and took control of all your major media outlets, and pushed the agenda of a nuclear free Middle East and complete military disarmament for Israel, would you be mildly concerned by such circumstances? Probably not, since you don't think its a problem in the United States for foreign special interest groups to possess heavy influence over a nation's policies.
Israel-firsters are oblivious to the world around them
Romney actually looked uncomfortable delivering his answer. If he would only listen to his own conscience
Look Witty, you can justify whatever you want with words but they don't change the bottom line. And that is oil prices and commodities have skyrocketed.
You're absolutely correct. Gas prices have quadrupled in the last 15 years
Do your have a link to watch Fareed's panel with Hillary?
As Santorum says Ron Paul probably will not be able to implement his domestic agenda over an uncooperative Congress. But what he can do is stop our insane foreign policy, stop the extravagant waste of money, extrajudicial killings, and bring home the troops. To me this is more important than any problems I have with Paul's domestic platform
No, not really. Humanitarian aid can and should be provided by private organizations/individuals
If you actually watch the C-Span video you see Ron Paul getting teary-eyed while hearing this ad played. Ron Paul is about as poor a speaker and actor as there is. I highly doubt he is faking anything. And I would venture to say your doubts seem less based on any sort of facts as opposed to a personal prejudice against the man and what he stands for.
Ron Paul was one of only a handful of House Republicans to vote against DADT
The establishment is running scared. The smear campaign against Ron Paul is in full throttle. I can almost smell the desperation they must feel. If Ron Paul is elected there will be no more wars
I don't understand what we hope to accomplish with our foreign policy towards Iran. Nor do I understand why we support Israel.
Might as well tear up the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Any non-NATO country without nuclear weapons, particularly an oil producer, would be nuts not to go nuclear.
Stooges like Ackerman are all too common in politics and the mass media. People like Ackerman have a for sale sign hanging around their neck. Buy them, and they will say anything you want them to.
I can't see anything positive coming from a war with Iran.
Judging from her pictures, I personally would not believe a woman with such fiery passion would cry bitter tears after the Israeli athlete disgraced herself by attacking a non-resisting opponent. I'd expect a raging anger.
It's a slippery slope when you qualify your statement with "extremist." I'm also somewhat skeptical you can successfully promote Israeli-Palestinian understanding if within your world-view you believe extremists are going to annihilate you. That's inline with what the hardliners running the Israeli government think. And definately not a worldview conducive to bringing two peoples together. There will never be peace if the hardliners do not soften their positions
I get the distinct impression you don't see Palestinians as human beings when you claim you fear them annihilating you, your family, and your people. Do you think they are rabid dogs?
I remember hearing Gary Johnson pledge to cut military spending 43%. The press doesn't give him much coverage.
Saudi Arabia is also adamantly opposed to Iran gaining influence in the region.
This was my first thought when I heard of the plot. MEK has many sympathizers in Iran. They would like nothing more than a conflict between the West and Iran, and may have assets in position within the Iranian regime to carry out such a plot
Them why bring up the topic of Jews being the subject of our misfortune? No one upthread ever made such an allegation.
Afghanistan is strategically placed in Central Asia. From what I've read, oil companies wanted part of the energy transport market dominated by Gazprom. The goal was a natural gas pipeline bypassing Russia, going through Afghanistan. Afghanistan's mineral wealth is also nothing to scoff at. When you have Big Oil, the MIC, and AIPAC all in agreement on a course of action it's going to get done.
From your translation I got the impression Hamas is not very enthusiastic about the Palestinian bid for statehood. By adding qualifiers and insisting resistance is the means by which a Palestinian state will be secured, Hamas is putting itself on the sidelines. Bodes poorly for Palestinians in the future. There cannot be two leaders for one nation.
