Did anyone REALLY believe that Obama was going to be different?
Worse, did anyone think he would be different because he has a different colour skin ?
How about Bibi, he is being touted as a radical warmonger. Is he really more of a war monger then his predecessors?? Is he more radical?
You know that saying "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
That applies to the US and Israel-
Missile Defense Ships Would Protect Against China, Gates Says
The increasing number of U.S. warships equipped with ballistic missile defense technology would provide greater protection in case of conflict with China, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday.
"We're converting more ships to have ballistic missile defense that would help against China," he told a PBS interviewer in regard to his budget plan for fiscal 2010.
Up Is Down: The Military Budget
The largest military budget in the history of the world is being increased. Certain weapons are being cut back, others expanded. But the overall budget is going UP. However, you don't need me to tell you that. You've learned it from these fine news sources.......
Barack Obama goes ahead with missile defence shield despite disarmament pledge
Despite the "peacemaker's" presence the US military budget is increasing, the US is readying for war with China, and the 'peacemaker' breaks his own pledge.
Then their is Israel, where it is alleged there are hawks and doves.What baloney!
Israel's government like the US has always been a government fully engaged in warfare.
No matter the label. No matter the spin.There are no hawks or doves, there are no peacemakers in these two countries.
There is merely the false concept of them. The lie.
No more make-believe in the Middle East
Settlement construction, including the massive developments encircling Jerusalem, has continued for four decades. All of Bibi's predecessors – even the "doves" – never once slowed settlement construction, despite their repeated assurances. Throughout, despite intensive US monitoring and reporting on growth, the US has always pretended to believe them.
In the early 1990s, then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin told the US that settlement sites such as Har Homa were merely in the planning stages. When site work began, he claimed that it was only preparatory work with no approval for construction. When ministry approvals for construction were given, he and his successors claimed that they would prevent construction. Today Har Homa stands as one of the many monuments to the success of deny, deny, deny.
The latest and final major link in the chain of Jerusalem-encircling settlements, known as E1, has followed exactly the same progression. E1 is important, because if it is allowed to become a town, it will effectively split the West Bank in two, ending hopes for a two-state solution. US observers, myself included, reported during the past six years the clear evidence of site preparation, only to be told by the highest levels of the Israeli government that roadbeds, drainage systems, terracing, and other clearly observable major works were "erosion control." Again, the US pretended to believe the official spin.
Former Israeli Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert told the US repeatedly that the separation barrier would not be used for political purposes, and that its route through the West Bank, rather than along the internationally accepted "Green Line," was to provide security "setback" for towns on the Israeli side of the Green Line. Again, the US pretended to believe them.
Finally, Washington can say, clearly and forcefully, that Israel's occupation harms US interests; that an attack on Iran is unacceptable and will get no US support, even in the UN Security Council; that settlement construction must stop and barriers be removed; that meetings are no substitute for progress; that Palestinians must be granted the opportunity – a real one – to form a viable state; and that the time has come for one of the world's wealthiest countries to be weaned off American largess.

One's a Nigger in the purest sense of the word,who don't know how Jews treat Niggers and the other is a Jew, need I say more?
not exactly what I was thinking of..
I was thinking how they are both war mongers, yet one is presented as one, and the other as a peacemaker.
So to be facetious, I called them both "peacemakers' in a pod.
When what they both are- warmakers.
Despite the spin either way, they are both in fact, plain and simple war makers, immoral invaders and the like.
I also was surprised at the christian science monitor article, it was actually critical in a plain language sort of way.
