Obama Praises Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “Deep Concerns” Over Election Results

We shouldn't throw all Iranians into the same category. Many Iranians,
especialy the young, are moving away from Ahmadinejad, the supreme
leader, hardliners etc. The election results show domestic support for
Ahmadinejad and his failed policies waning. It would have been a
mistake to attack Iran millitarily, only strengthening these rulers.
An Isreali/Palestinian two state solution, also, removing settlement
from West Bank would do much to move whole region toward peace.
We should incourage this movment toward change going on inside
Iran. As far as praising the supreme leader; i'd be praising the
people for standing up to these bogus election results.

Mr.Mathews: "...removing settlement
from West Bank would do much to move whole region toward peace"

Israel LEFT Gaza in 2005.Removed the settlers BY FORCE from
there.The settlers used to hire a great deal of muslim workers.
Now,those same muslims are UNEMPLOYED,Israel has NO PEACE
at this border with Gaza.THOUSANDS of rockets were launched against
Israeli civillians.They still do.Almost every single day.

If you tell me that there will be "PEACE" if Israelis do leave what you
call "west bank",I say that you simply don't have enough knowledge
about what muslims are capable of.

Sir,we're NOT talking about Egypt and Jordan.What you call "palestinians"
do not have an unified leadership,an unified army,a common policy regarding
internal and foreign affairs...
The very moment Israelis leave that piece of land,a CIVIL WAR between the
SEVERAL "palestinian" factions will happen to take complete control over
the others.As soon as the bloodshed is over,the winner will look for Iranian and
Syrian military and economic aid,and soon enough,THOUSANDS of rockets will
be falling over Israeli heads.THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN.It doesn't take any genius
to predict that.It's INEVITABLE.

Your good intentions are laughable because your standards simply do not
FIT into the Middle Eastern reality.

Yes, militants continued to fire crude rockets into Israel
killing a handful of Israelis, and while that's to0 many, is
nothing compared to the reactionary response carried out
by the IDF on Gaza Dec, 2008. An action which killed
1,200 palestinians, half of which were civilian. This plays
into the militants hands, helps foster hatred and resentment
and sets back peace process.

The reactions to terrorists or militants, weather military or
allowing them them to distract from the larger issues is what
they want. Extremists on all sides will use what ever means to
derail, distract, and sabotage anything that threatens their
interest.

Also, both sides used terrorist tactics during the formation
of Israel in the late 40's. Check out One Palestine Complete, it's
an unbiased look at, Palestine under the British mandate, and
subsequent formation of Israel. It's a highly acclaimed book
inside Israel, won a pulitzer.

As far as the different sides going into civil war, that's highly speculative,
however, has no barring on Israeli returning the land to them to sort
out their differences.

Iran, after these elections, is in no condition to interfere, and at any
rate, pushing forward the peace process with Abbas is exactly the answer
in going over the heads of those who want to interfere, be they militants,
terrorists, heads of state, or religious extremists.

And this Middle Eastern reality you speak of, well, the only way to
change this "reality", is with dogged determination, hope, and a plan;
not simply throwing your hands up in the air and saying things
will never change, or doing the same tired things over and over.

There is a place for the military response or action, but, it's not
first, second, or even third. Again, some militants won't be happy
till Israel is no more, of course you can't please them,
but, don't fall into their trap, also keeping them in power by being
the lion to their fox.

I think hardliners on all sides feed off each other. If there was
peace, they would be out of a job, or cause. Their interests
could no longer be justified.

Why do believe the land belongs to the Muslims? Becuase they conquered it in the 7th century? What difference is that from the Jews creating Israel in 48? If anyone has a prior claim to the land it's the Jews, who took it from the Canaanites at the direction of Jehovah, Allah's enemy by the way, they are not the same "god", many years before the Romans or the Muslims came along. This conflict goes back much further and the roots go much deeper than you or most people know or conceive of. The bottom line is, the Jews own what they live on because they've won every time they've had to fight for it. The most recent problems, since 48, have been the Muslim's inabilty to recognize that, and recognize Isreal's right to exist. So they use the continual pinpricks of terrorism to sting Israel into counter attacks to turn public opinion, such as yours, against Israel. It is the Muslim's who have the dogged determination to continue these actions while the Palestinian "refugees" suffer. Israel has made more than enough concessions to have obtained peace by now, it is way past time for the Muslims to recognize Israel's right to exist in order to find real solutions to the regions problems. They are the real hardliners here.

Barack Hussein Obama - "Blessed" (from the semitic - also a word in Hebrew) "Good" (from the Arabic) "Leaning towards" (Luo/African)

I choose to hope his name can be interpreted as "a blessing (from God), a man bent towards (in submission to) Good".

Then again his name COULD mean "a blessing to the elite who is crooked". He's got the choice - Kapo Dajjal or Blessing to Our Country. Will the real Mr. President please stand up.

By the way Barack, that wasn't a fly buzzing in your ear - listen to your conscience. The fact you hear is meaningful enough.

For pity's sake!

BHO is going to get a lot of people killed with this kumbaya crap.

If this statement is true then they are both traitors to our nation and its interests. More so the current president. Either that or they are flacid sissies that should be removed from office

Every time I assume Obama can't be more of a dhimmi, I'm proven wrong. Are there no limits to this man's foolishness, weakness, and hypocrisy?

He's happy to come down heavy on democratic Israel as it fights for its very survival - but he'll bow and scrape before the despots and racists of this world.

He can call himself a Christian all he likes - he might as well be an Islamic extremist.

Great post guys - thanks :)

Tabatha,have you heard the latest Reverend Wright's remarks about Jews
and Zionists?
Yep.
That's the man whom Mr.HUSSEIN called his MENTOR.


See that link:

Hey JEWHAWK :)

Many thanks for the link. Yep, I read about those comments by racist Wright. Can you imagine all the spite and rubbish that man has been sharing with Obama over the years? If Obama didn't agree with the basic sentiments, he'd have rejected Wright years ago.

Add that to Obama's abandonment of Israel and it's pretty obvious that Obama's administration will be lethal for the Jewish nation.

Tabatha,Mr.HUSSEIN will not only abandon Israel,but use the
Jewish State as a bargaining chip with Iran.

Reverend Wright's deep hatred toward Jews and Israel must've
made an indelible impression on Mr.HUSSEIN's mind throughout
all those years of friendship.To believe the contrary is sheer naïveté.

Israel is gonna pay dearly for that.

He takes great pains over not interfering with Iran's soveriegnty, but has no trouble telling Israel they MUST stop building settlements? Do we see a double standard here? The same double standard the Muslims use towards Israel? Now he sympathises with Khamenei's "deep concerns". If BHO isn't a Muslim, the Dems aren't liberals.

LOL, well said Sir Wilhelm!

I'd posted my remarks before reading yours - glad I'm not the only one reaching these conclusions. Here in the UK every time I state that Obama either is, or might as well be, a Muslim, I get horrified responses and the inevitable cry of 'islamophobia' goes up!

Obama's comment on the other hand indicates he takes us all for fools.The Iranian protesters can expect the same support the protesters in a certain Chinese Square received:Outrage and dismay from the peoples of free countries but precious little from it's leaders.Life goes on right?

The sole reason the Ayatollah is "deeply concerned" is because the world can better see the corruption that permeates his ramshackle country.

IDIOCY CONTEST:

Who's the most IMBECILE: DHIMMY CARTER or Barack HUSSEIN Obama?

Today Dhimmy Carter was in Gaza to give his "support to the palestinian
people who are starving to death" and said that he'll ask president HUSSEIN
to erase Hamas's name off the terror organizations list!!!

Israel is ALONE.
America's most powerful men are a bunch of INCOMPETENTS and
WIMPS.

Netanyahu must ACT as the MAN OF THE HOUSE.
