Results in Lebanon were affected. There is no evidence of this, at all. If obama went nuts on iran which he didnt, perhaps reflexive reaction toward ahmadijad would have occurred in iran. He nailed ahmadijad good on Holocaust denial, but was kind to pals. Brilliant. The speech, while delivered well, was incompetent in every material respect (David Gregory could have read the 'prompter just as well). Bottom line, he blamed Israel for everything and flatly refused to acknowledge the Pals terrorism and campaign of hatred. This is the first time we've had a so obviously anti-Israeli government in my memory. I have the greatest respect for Netanyahu and wish he would stand up to Obama. That is a very tall order, however.

OBAMA DOCTRINE "The outlines of an Obama Doctrine are taking shape. Our president's worldview can be summarized as 'Everybody is a little bit guilty, especially Israel,' " New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin writes. "His demand in Cairo that Israel make major concessions before Palestinians recognize Israel's right to exist was a pander of the rankest sort. What a difference a year and the audience make," Mr. Goodwin said. "Exactly a year before his Cairo speech, on June 4, 2008, candidate Obama told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee he would 'never force Israel to the negotiating table' or to make 'concessions.' "He cited Iran's vow to eliminate Israel and said, 'I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, everything.' "In Cairo, he was vague at best and inviting at worst on the nuke issue, saying, 'I understand those who protest that some countries have weapons that others do not. No single nation should pick and choose which nation holds nuclear weapons.' "Feeling the mad mullah's pain won't mollify them. Nor was it a sign of courage to ignore Anwar Sadat, the brave Egyptian leader who made peace with Israel in 1979 and was later assassinated by Islamic extremists. "To judge from this speech and others, the Obama Doctrine holds that all guilt is morally equal and the solution is to split the difference and call it even."
