> Looking at some of the elections recently like in NewYork, and the loss of some leading Jewish American politicians, President Obama may have already gone too far. Bush nor any other Repugnican politician would NEVER have the GUTS to do the right thing and look out for the human rights of the Palestinians. >Gadhaffi thought he could be next. Musings of a lunatic dictator are meaningless. Fact of the matter is that Bush never did go after him did he? Gadhaffi had WMD's and Saddam didn't. It cost over a Trillion to dislodge Saddam, and a $1Billion to rid Gadhaffi. Right wingers love a good invasion and shooting guns. That's what was missing for them with Gadhaffi. Bush was no humanitarian. Instead of focussing on his idiotic blood revenge invasion against Saddam, he could've dedicated more resources towards Darfur/Sudan, where genocide was happening and al Quaida had refuge. NGO's couldn't operate there because of the security risks. Similar situation in Somalia. Many died because of GWB's incompetence. OIL was the only reason for going into Iraq.

Israel is an ally of America. It remains to be seen just how much of the Jewish vote President Obama has alienated with his anti-Israel rhetoric. Looking at some of the elections recently like in NewYork, and the loss of some leading Jewish American politicians, President Obama may have already gone too far. The Jewish people are very smart. They know better to vote Democratic as they have always done. And after doing so, they have the clout to ensure that the person they voted for "shall do what they want that person to do." Eric Cantor may be Jewish, but he does not have the clout to sway the Jewish votes to the Republican party. Just look at Lieberman. He would have been a Republican by now, seeing what Democrats have done to him. But he is not. So will every Jewish voter, no matter how dissatisfied they may be with a Democrat named Obama;. don't fall for the right wing bloggers' dreams and wishes. Be pragmatic. Gadhafi admitted such in a CNN interview. That is exactly my point. I think you should reread what you posted and my reply. Saddam abandoned his WMDs after Papa and Clinton imposed the no fly zone. The "no fly" zone was very effective in achieving its purpose. Baby Bush and his neo-conservative cohorts had no sane reason to attack Iraq. Now we have a big problem on our hands because of imbalance in the geopolitical imbalance there due to Saddam's demise. With the elimination of Saddam, Bush decided on the winner of the famous "seven year war between Iran and Iraq."
