A pretty interesting article on why Obama dislikes Netanyahu.

Dennis Prager nails it:

Quote:
There is no question about whether President Obama — along with Secretary of State John Kerry and the editorial pages of many newspapers — has a particular dislike of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But there is another question: Why?

And the answer is due to an important rule of life that too few people are aware of:

Those who do not confront evil resent those who do.

Insightful article.

ap·pease
əˈpēz/Submit
verb
1.
pacify or placate (someone) by acceding to their demands.
"amendments have been added to appease local pressure groups"
synonyms: conciliate, placate, pacify, mollify, propitiate, reconcile, win over
"an attempt to appease his critics"
antonyms: provoke, inflame
2.
relieve or satisfy (a demand or a feeling).
"we give to charity because it appeases our guilt"
synonyms: satisfy, fulfill, gratify, indulge; More

I just don't see leadership under appeasement. We have a rich precedent of supporting our allies, so to threaten attacking one is different. Sometimes it boils down to priorities, as an example during the Falkland wars I remember controversy about refueling Britian's planes and ships at our Ascension Island facility, we went with priorities. http://www.naval-history.net/FpxAAscension.htm
0B's priorities seem weak on SA to me, the rest of the country turned back there, where is he?

An interesting take with a Jewish biblical take on how to deal with terrorism:

I wouldn't push Hillary in front of a bullet meant for Barry. Too bad we can't vote for Bebe to be the next POTUS.

Short-sighted. I can think of nothing worse (WRT 2nd & 3rd order effects) than if he were to become a martyr. Personally, I STRONGLY recommend praying for the SS detail responsible for his continued safety. And I'm not an overly religious type.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Never considered that, but upon reflection you're spot on. Pretty scary, given the recent breaches at the WH.

He is going to be a martyr regardless, revisionists will have him polling as the greatest president ever within 20 years. Was not advocating his assignation, pretty sure my comment appeared to be tongue in cheek....me standing in a room next to Hilary and Obama at a moment when a bullet is heading towards him would seem ridiculous to any reasonable person.

There is no other option.
