| U.S. Rejects 'False' Claims of Abandoning Israel | |
| 2015-06-19 | |
[AnNahar] A top U.S. official on Wednesday denounced "false" assertions by a former Israeli ambassador that the B.O. regime has abandoned Israel, a traditional ally of the United States.
If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon... had dropped the core principles guiding Israeli-U.S. ties of "no daylight, no surprises." Oren, ambassador from 2009 to 2013, acknowledged that Israel blundered in many instances, but added that "while neither leader monopolized mistakes, only one leader made them deliberately." "From the moment he entered office, Mr. Obama promoted an agenda of championing the Paleostinian cause and achieving a nuclear accord with Iran. Such policies would have put him at odds with any Israeli leader," Oren wrote in Monday's Wall Street Journal. State Department front man John Kirby insisted however that as Oren had only been the ambassador, he "had limited visibility into many of the private discussions and deliberations that he describes." Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... believed that Oren's account, "particularly the account of President B.O.'s leadership in the U.S.-Israeli relationship, is absolutely inaccurate and false, and doesn't reflect what actually happened in the past," Kirby told news hounds. Oren had pointed to Obama's first meeting in May 2009 with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he abruptly demanded that Israel freeze settlement construction and accept a two-state solution. Only weeks later, Obama traveled to the Middle East to address the Moslem world but did not make a stop in Israel, and broke with tradition by not giving Israeli leaders an advance copy of his speech. The ultimate betrayal of the core principles was the discovery that U.S. officials had held secret talks with arch-enemy Iran, Oren wrote. | |

| #2 The first thing the prez did after entering office was shipping Churchill's bust back to (formerly'Great') Britain. Being a trained historian, I knew then for certain that our republic was headed toward a hard left ideological dumpster. Thank G-D for term limits. (And hopefully no presidential dynasties - that's how Rome ended up suffering thru Nero, Caligula, Domitian & etc. |

| #1 Israel is traditional ally of USA People, and traditional enemy of USA Mandarinate. The only difference between Obama and his (hers?) predecessors, is that the efforts to fool the People are (a lot) clumsier. |
