The U.S.A. has the best....

Any American president's policy towards Israel is not going to be enough for those who are more pro-Palestinian simply because its too big of a risk politically here to come out in support of Palestine over Israel.

That doesn't mean he can't be more balanced on the issue than Bush was but no candidate who cares about reelection is going to throw Israel under the bus. Its too touchy of a subject.

America solves nothing internationally unless they can deal with Israel properly. I don't mind if the U.S. gets attacked again, after all the Palestinians have to deal with it everyday. Hypocrisy deserves a sucker punch.

I mean that too. After what the US has supported via the indiscriminate attacks upon Palestine, I have no hesitation in wishing similar attacks upon the US just to show what it is like. Perhaps then, policy towards Palestine might be adjusted correctly.

Obama could really do with reading a little Chomsky and then weighing it up with his advisor hawks, and sacking them. He might make some sense then, but no he probably won't. Twat.

Within 50 years English will not even be the main language of the US. They have allowed so much immigration that English will be a minority language within 50 years. Spanish will be the lingua franca of the future there, though I imagine political elites will try to enforce english.

From all accounts China will soon be the largest English speaking population in the world. Hows that for sheer power in numbers!

They will also run us all out of our natural resourses with a decade (timber first),if their production continues at the rate it is now.

The States needs to go smack North Korea in the nuts or visa versa, Im getting bored with all the bullshit excuses as to why one set of rules for Iraq and another totally for Korea.

Hes over there jumping up and down saying "Im a dictator, I have mass weapons of destruction,have a fukin go see what happens to you"!

Team America : "Did you just hear something then " NO did YOU." Nope ,let it slide again".


What was that? Kuwait? Oil embargos, money markets, Iran may buy into this too? Palastine? Muslium extremists? with checkered flags on the heads and guns!

Jewish and world bank business protection agency to the rescue...
"quick get thunderbird no 1 Virgil "right you are boss".... men scatter,The public buy the whole deal and pay and cheer! horray horray God is on our side.

I've been accused of some pretty inflammatory comments but this is pretty tasteless Miles.

I would be the first to amit that Israel has commited war crimes against the Palestinians. More killing is not the answer. The U.S. should cut off Israel until the land taken in 67 is given back and free 10,000 Palestinians who are being held without having there right to a fair trial.

...if their muslim brothers in Iran, Syria, Lebanon etc truly cared about the Palestinians don't you think they would let them in their countries

and I don't mind if the UK gets attacked again, they started all the crap with the west and Iran....way to go guys, bravo


Israel is no angel but the land they aquired has been legal and through wars which they were provoked

got a feeling this thread is about to get a lot more interesting

Our first Lady did us proud with her trip to Europe.

...too bad we can't say the same about her hubby

Unlike the first lady I've always been proud of my country and am still waiting to be proud of her.

...I didn't want to be the first to post that comment because I am kind of a lightening rod when I post stuff like that but I completely agree.

Listen you just can't go around saying things like "For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country", "In America there is a failure to recognize Europe's leading role in the World", ....and then complain when people label the liberals as the "Blame America First" crowd.

Just compare what previous leaders have said to what Obama and his wife have said...

That just about says it all "America is no longer what it could be, what it once was and I say to myself I don't want that future for my children".....that's fucking stupid to say when during his lifetime (born in 1961) he has gone through segregation to affirmative action to being the President of that very country and he doesn't want his children to have the future that America provides I just don't appreciate all the bad mouthing the exceptional United States of America....a beacon of freedom, liberty, and hope that people all over the world recognize. Have our leaders made mistakes? Yes, all people make mistakes but it doesn't change what America is and what we represent as a nation.


...I just wish we had a leader who respected the country he leads more than oh let's say a foreign leader respects us.

Sarkozy = LEADER, Obama = ANGRY LIBERAL....Sarkozy never bad mouthed France when he was here, why should he? And so I ask why does Obama bad mouth us?
