How many cowboy movies has obama ever watched? There should be a cowboy movie Litmus test for any candidate for president.

I understand why Hamas likes him too.
And don't forget he criticized the "settlements". Hamas considers Tel Aviv a "settlement". Maybe Obama doesn't, but he sure wouldn't leave a defensible border for Israel, no matter what he says about Israel's security.

Obama is speaking in code to Hamas. - and they both know it.

Although each individual slip up by Obama (in this case, agreeing with John McCain about something he dismissed earlier) doesn't necessarily do him a lot of harm with his supporters, the continuation of these slip ups will lead them down the same line of reasoning, that he's just another politician, and they'll never be able to deny that they were duped. It's somewhat satisfying, but little compared to the thought of Obama losing in the general.

“That’s a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they’re not confused about my unyielding support for Israel’s security,” Obama said.

Yeah- rhetoric like "constant sore" really shows support for Israeli security.

my Mom, a college professor, was at a luncheon for teachers yesterday, and was seated with all female, and mostly jewish colleagues. My Mom was (and almost always is) the only conservative there, in a sea of liberalism.

talk turned to politics. to a woman, they all delcared their unity with Hillary, in stark opposition to Obama, based largely on Jewish/Israeli isues and concerns with Obama and his percieved sympathy for the phakestinians, etc. she said nothing there, except the usual things, but told us all at dinner last night hoiw shocked she was at the lack of support Obama had in this regard. they will not vote for him. they did not say they would vote for McCain, but did not rule it out. that, or stay home.

This guy is signaling weakness all over the place.

The reason the bad guys like him is not because he's necessarily symapthetic to their causes, but because it's obvious he'll be a pushover in any negotiations.

Obama is simply not ready for the world stage. The man has no clue. It is a HARSH reality out there. Bush's flaw wasn't that he engaged in "cowboy diplomacy," but rather that he didn't foilow Teddy Roosevelt's dictum "Speak softly and carry a big stick." He wasn't enough of a cowboy.

In international diplomacy, behind every discussion point there has to be the unspoken second half of every sentence: "...or we will kick your ass."

It wasn't "cowboy diplomacy."

We were attacked on 9-11 assh%$#

This is particularly cutting:

"Open sore" is the exact same language used by the Arab league as their strategy to undermine Israel by keeping the Palestinian "issue" open.

Apparently Obama has fallen for it, hook line and sinker.

“That’s a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they’re not confused about my unyielding support for a festering sore,” Obama meant said.

IRONCLAD support for Israel!

That's not exactly what his campaign mentors said for 20 years.

“It’s conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, ‘This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,’” Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. If it does, it's custom made:

While you may lobby that nothing's sweeter than an automated waffle maker, Chris Dimino just might counter that. This design guru has apparently concocted a retro inspired, and ever-so-slightly altered kitchen appliance that cooks waffle that are a bit wider and more familiar than usual. This piece of cookware sports an integrated stand for holding four jars of syrup, and the iron itself presses a nifty keyboard each and every time -- caps lock key and all. Of course, we don't expect retailers to start stocking these things anytime soon, but if you're serious about your words waffles-per-minute, we're sure Chris could make arrangements.

I'm warming up my tentacles already.

Ah, a nuanced response that only makes the statements made yesterday to Goldberg appear in the same light that Charles and others read them - that he's going to pursue policies antithetical to Israel's security (and which would necessarily be antithetical to US security interests in the region as it would cement yet another terrorist regime on Israel's borders (Hizbullahland being the first)).

Obama's positions on the ME are Carteresque warmed over pablum, which failed the first time around, and continue to fail. It's no surprise why they sound Carteresque - Carter's people are part and parcel of the campaign. But it gets much worse than that.

Meanwhile, Lowry notes that questioning Obama on all sorts of issues are off limits - by his own say-so.

WHY does Obama support Israel?

[Link: www.barackobama.com...]

There's also a pdf.

Israel: our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy. That will always be my starting point. And when we see all of the growing threats in the region: from Iran to Iraq to the resurgence of al-Qaeda to the reinvigoration of Hamas and Hezbollah, that loyalty and that friendship will guide me as we begin to lay the stones that will build the road that takes us from the current instability to lasting peace and security.

Sounds OK to me.

I'm dubious, but more because I think Obambi seems to know little about anything, and of course because of his friggin' name, not to mention the leftoids and/or wackjobs he hangs around with, than for a *specific* reason.

Er, yeah.

Obama, thy name is treachery.

Carter II

And we know what Carter I says about Israel. It's not pretty.

"Open sore" is also the language chosen by the usual assortment of Israel haters, including Justin Raimodo of antiwar.com:

It is hardly in America's national interest to continue this state of affairs. We are up against a terrorist enemy that uses our unconditional support of Israel as one of its main recruiting devices – second only to the war in Iraq. America's Israeli-centric policy in the Middle East reinforces al-Qaeda's contention that the U.S. is out to destroy Islam, humiliate the Arab people, and impose what it calls "Crusader-Zionist" hegemony on the region. Our policy destabilizes the Arab governments in the region who are our allies, such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and the current government of Lebanon. It in no way serves our purposes to have this open sore continue to fester. And yet every attempt to heal this wound has been met with opposition from the powerful pro-Israel lobby in our midst, and the poisons issuing forth from this wound continue to infect the whole region, including Iraq.

President Obama: Carter's Second Term

"...has a middle name of Hussein..."

Still, there is no greater gift America can give to Israel -- no better way we can salute our Israeli friends on this important anniversary -- than to redouble our commitment to help Israel achieve its goal of true security through providing it with military equipment, isolating and pressuring its hostile neighbors, demanding an end to terrorism and incitement, and remembering who is America's true friend in the region.

Same thing.

Here's another quote to put the phrase "open sore" (or constant sore, your choice) into historical context:

The attitude of the other Arab states toward the Palestinian Arab refugees was, as noted, completely different. This attitude was succinctly described by Ralph Galloway, a former head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), in Amman, capital of Jordan, in August 1958: quote:-

"The Arab states do not want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as open sore, as an affront to the United Nations and as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders don't give a damn whether the refugees live or die." Unquote...

‘This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,’”

If Barack really believes our enemies are hoping for a leader who wants to talk out our differences to achieve peace, he has a terrifying lack of understanding of who we are fighting.
