A Hollywood mogul once explained that he didn’t get headaches, he gave headaches to others. President Barack Obama’s determination not to give headaches to America’s enemies guarantees that he brings them onto U.S. interests. Here are examples happening right now and certain to blow up before the November 2012 elections.
Iraq and Afghanistan: Obama plans to withdraw U.S.combat troops by December 31 from Iraq and next year from Afghanistan. A “logical” American official, not understanding how things work in the Middle East, would say:
Well, of course they know we are leaving so they will be quiet and let us withdraw.
But that’s not how the Middle East works. Knowing that U.S. forces are leaving, revolutionary Islamists in both Iraq and Afghanistan are stepping up offensives now to make this look like a U.S. retreat due to defeat. Their purpose is to build morale and support among their own people. The Taliban will say:
We drove out the Russians and the Americans. We defeated both superpowers. See, Allah is on our side! Join us. Our victory is inevitable.
So in both Iraq and Afghanistan the Obama administration has to choose between extending the withdrawal deadline and keeping troops in those countries or sticking to his schedule while the situation deteriorates. In both places the government is hinting that it wants the Americans to stay longer. There are already hints that American troops will be in Afghanistan for many years. At any rate, to coin a mixed metaphor, the constantly signalled weakness is coming home to roost.
Palestinians: Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas is touring the region telling everyone that he’s having no problem with the Obama administration regarding the PA’s internationally supported campaign to break all of its previous commitments to Israel and the United States and to go for unilateral independence and UN recognition. Is he telling the truth?
“Israel must be aware that the days when it kills our children without getting a strong, appropriate response are gone for ever,” Amr Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister and ex-Arab League chief, said on his Twitter feed.
The script had already been written…
Rather amusing is Mr Amr Moussa worrying about Israel killing his terrorist “children” but not blinking an eyelid at Syria’s Assad killing Syrian and Palestinian civilians, willy nilly, more than 2000 by now.
Gun boats and tanks shell Latakia and not a peep from him or his Arab League, nor Obama on the golf course; but the Arab League is holding an emergency session about Israel’s response to the terrorist attack from Egyptian territory into southern Israel.
Yep, not a peep as Turks kill Kurdish women and children. Not even a word from Erdogan or Egypt denouncing the murder of Israeli civilians. Egypt and Turkey will continue to tell us they are “partners” while they look the other way. Iran says it angry at Hamas. It is all just a game so when real strikes come, they all will say, “We didn’t do that”. In fact, a group like AQ will take credit. We are playing into this game. Hizb’Allah, al-Islam, AQ, Taliban, Hamas, are all seeing the common enemy. Despite their hatred for each other, they understand what is at stake.
There is reason to believe that US policy induces chaos. The only way Obama can get a Grand Bargain, is for that to be our BEST OPTION. You see how that works? I even see creating plausible deniability in the chaos increasing foundation of this administration, both domestically and foreign.
For Israelis, I say you have no excuse to be so divided. To the Republicans here, you have a responsibility to present a candidate that can unite the middle to the Right. Otherwise, you serve this cycle of bullshit that has led to such partisan neglect we run the chance in undoing the last 60 years. The blame game can never justify the abrogation of reason in the face of immediate threats.
Are you willing to default into a trillion dollar cut for the military? Are we really going to rally America against the evils of irrational radicals while trying to put creationism in science class? Yes, there is plenty of fault to go around. I suggest we clean up our act before this gets completely out of hand. Cleaning up fallout will be much harder to do….
there goes the neighborhood.
The New Israel Fund and I’lam is organizing and funding the attacks on the ranches and farms in Israel to drive the Jews out of the Galilee.
Israel Ranches are being attacked their passive European cattle is being mutilated and killed by local Palestinians, jackals and wolves. Israel needs desert cattle that fits its environment and can defend it’s self and it’s calves. That breed of cattle is Texas Longhorn.
The Longhorn Project help in Africa and Ethiopia with hunger, defense, and food production by creating a sort of African Pioneers or kibbutzim movement.

and looking for trouble, obama will not veto the security council vote on a palestinian state, you’ll see . . .
How about an abstention? We love Obama?
if he does that, then he loses the Jewish vote and more importantly the Jewish money. and that might be enough to swing Florida. and Florida might be enough to swing the election.
so go ahead, Mr. President, don’t veto it. you know your heart’s with the Pals anyway. we’re “calling your bluff.”
Obama doesn’t care about the Jewish vote, or winning or losing in Florida, he’s out to cause as much trouble as possible, and this is a golden opportunity for him to turn the whole world topsy-turvy in one fell swoop this September. And don’t forget that in the ensuing turmoil he’ll still be in office for at least 15 months after that, plenty of time to wreak even more havoc, with nothing to stop him. Nobody will dare to impeach him, because, well, golly, there could be riots, you know.
I’m sure he’ll vote present like he does with other issues of importance. Then he’ll say I didn’t vote against Israel.
How many Palestinians have been offered refuge or asylum in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, or any other Islamic country? It is time for an overall energy independence program for the US. Some stats indicate that we have more energy deposits than anyone in the world. We should start ramping up extraction now, with the goal of being independent in less than ten years. By redirecting ten cents of the federal fuel tax per gallon, we could pay each Gaza and West Bank resident 17 or older about $5,000 per year, which, depending on current stats and exchange rates, could approach a 200% increase in per capita income. If the UN really means Res. 1973, they could disarm the violent element and use the US payments to build safe lives and jobs for Palestinians. How much has Saudi Arabia contributed? Iran? Seems like a win-win, we get energy independence, we stop paying governments to finance terrorists, our economy grows , Palestinians have better, safer lives. Impossible dream? Maybe, I’m not an expert on anything. But the 45 year “status problemus” has produced misery and destruction, with only more of the same ahead.
What make you think that eiterh the Saudis or the Iranians are interested in peace and quite for the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip?
They’re pushing for an Islamic world. Peaceful life won’t help them.
‘They’re pushing for an Islamic world ‘
And Israel keeps giving in and appeasing them under the direction of their beloved Pimps in Washington.
Even after the Gaza Judenrein debacle at the hand of President Bush Israel is too stupid to jump off this cattle car.
They can’t say no to destroyers in Washington.
I used to think Israel was smart but I don’t any more.
As it was during the Third Reich,defenseless Jews were led to their slaughter with very little to no resistance.
This is the agenda of the Arab League,EU,UN and Washington which has restrained Israel during the 2nd Lebanon War, Cast Lead and now.
The pressure is not on Hamas or the Muslim jihad hordes
but ALL against Israel to halt anything resembling stopping attacks from Gaza.
RESTRAIN THE JEWS is the global game plan while the weak,subservient and spineless quislings in Jerusalem ‘just follow orders’
Are Israel’s castrated Netanyahu and Barak aware that they are playing right into the hands of their final solution Road Map ‘friends’ and foes ?
They will be kept from defeating Hamas as the newly radacilized Islamic Army of Egypt heads for the Israeli border with their blessing.
Barack Obama has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that he will never accept or act on good advice and he is his own source of bad advice largely due to his flawed and skewed New Left view of both foreign affairs and even the domestic American economy.
As long as this incompetent, badly advised, and misinformed clown Barack Obama is in charge of the most powerful nation in the world, we are all going to suffer.
That’s just how it is.
Mr. Rubin, a bit off topic, but I am reading, with my mouth open in shock, a rather idiotic piece of left-wing drivel by the new JPost editor, Mr. Linde (the same idiot who wrongly apologized to Norway) about Israel trying to talk to the Pali-Nazis next month – as though that will get Israel anywhere.
Since he is clearly pushing JPost further to the left (how I wish for the days under Conrad Black, when they openly called for assassinating Arafat), I would think Caroline Glick eventually will get too fed up with that paper.
Any chance that you and Roger could get her over here to PJM? I already see her writing at Townhall.
Eric R at #7, what a coincidence. I just wrote to Caroline Glick, not five minutes ago saying the EXACT same thing. I mentioned I would now be boycotting the JPost and will encourage others to do likewise in light of Linde’s dhimmitude and idiocy and his position as the new editor-in-chief. As one of the best English-language Israeli bloggers IsraelMatzav put it, (matzav means ‘situation’ in Hebrew), if we wanted to read Ha’Aretz, we would read Ha’Aretz. I also wrote that I didn’t see how she could stay on at the paper in light of this sinister (what else to call it?) development. And the timing couldn’t be worse, just when we need some sanity, the insanity intensifies.
#7 & #8.
I see we’re all on the same page here. I had already noticed a shift to the left at JPost but when I read that article, I totally freaked. But, Caroline Glick should not leave, the JPost gives her ideas better exposure, at least for now. There is no good English-language right-wing newspaper. Israel HaYom in English is a bit disappointing, I don’t think Arutz 7 has wide circulation.
I doubt if she could get a regular column at lefty YNET.
My advice to you is to make use of the new talkback feature at JPost & demolish the idiotic delusional leftist crap whenever this jerk writes an editorial.
How could she with Ynet giving space to M. J. Rosenberg.
Soros is buying them all up.
Yeah, that article by MJ Rosenberg was disgusting, what a liar. My comment was censored at YNET – but, to be fair, YNET does give space to a number of right-wing op-eds. MJ Rosenberg appeared regularly at JPost as well.
But, as I said, Glick would not get a bi-weekly column at YNET.
‘make use of the new talkback feature at JPost’
The suicidal leftist moderators at every single media talkback in Israel give wide berth to the Islamic propagandists and the tayiyya keyboard jihadists masquerading as Jews (Michael abdul Steiner in Bahrain at YNET and Ezra the Muslim Horowitz at JPost and Haaretz I don’t have to tell you about.
When it comes to comments from the right most of them are driven off as their comments are blocked.
Nothing changes and the idol chasers never learn.
Israel is in much the same condition as the Jews of Europe were,worried about the price of cottage cheese and housing while the ovens are made ready for them with the aid of their Pimp of no-peace in Washington.
JPost has long blocked my posts; Ynet has been far more open to them, even though it is supposedly the more lefty newspaper. You also now have to register and pay good money to post at JPost.
As for Glick; sooner rather than later, she is going to run afoul of Mr. Linde. I suggest she build up a network of sites to blog at, and – this is important – get a link for her work on Drudge (who is Jewish, conservative and pro-Israel).
ArutzSheva may not be well known, but she will give it some heft. Frankly, her audience is mostly in the USA anyway, so a combination of PJM and Townhall should do the trick.
We have had Caroline on PJTV and she is, of course, always welcome on the PJM side, which I am pleased to say is increasing in page views at a rapid clip.
As for you, Eric R., your comments are always welcome here. We promise not to censor you… just promise never to say anything bad about me.:)
Say bad things about you Roger?
The only way that would happen is if you underwent a conversion back to your Marxist days when you were young(er) and foolish.
@ 7, 8, 9
I agree. Caroline Glick deserves a wider stateside audience than she has now, and no less so does Sarah Honig. For the moment the best they can do in Israel, however, is the Jerusalem Post. It’s too bad their columns aren’t in Hebrew also.
Obama’s eyes are wide open ,it’s Israel’s eyes that are closed.
There is a lot of denial coming from those who put all their eggs in the America basket.
They see all the holes in the basket but their misplaced,blind faith will not allow reality to awaken them.
Every single thing Israel has looked to the U.S. to bring under her global prestige and power has evaporated including the phony peace with Egypt.
The first thing the idol worshipers in Jerusalem did when Egypt became threatening was to call Washington for replacement diapers.
Netanyahu and Barak got their orders by way of the Arab League to Obama to Jerusalem ;
Stop retaliating against Gaza and immediately apologize to Egypt.
The same Road Map god who restrained Israel under Bush1,Clinton,Bush2 and pushed the counterfeit peace agenda Israel still gets on her knees to as if they were God.
When President Bush called P.M. Olmert to retreat the IDF in Lebanon before Hezbollah was defeated you listened as you did before you defeated Hamas in Gaza.
Looking to your golden calf to save Israel has only brought weakness and war to you.
Thanks to your religious obedience to Washington your enemies see a weak and fearful Israel
Israel is unprepared for a hostile, radicalized Islamic army now being given permission by the idiots in Jerusalem to flood the Sinai which will only make matters worse.
Even Caroline is beginning to see that her idol has failed her and was false all along and will not save Israel.
I’m not sure that the Obama administration will veto the resolution for Palestinian statehood. I also don’t think the President is worried about the Jewish vote. He either sees it as his no matter what, or just doesn’t care. He believes that Palestinian statehood is inevitable and wants to be the one in the history books to make it so. His speech on the 1949 Armistice lines as a starting point for peace negotiations was his first move. Look for a rousing oration in front of the General Assembly about fairness and balance explaining his support for the State of Palestine. After all, he has to get started on his application for his next job, Secretary General.
Creating a Palestinian state will only create a base, next door to Israel, which will be used for the final Arab assault on Israel.
Gaza and Hezbollah controlled Lebanon are prime examples of what will happen.
Oh, and don’t forget about that little “skirmish” that’s going on in Libya. Even if Gaddafi is thrown out of power, what will follow him? Nobody ever talks about that. Nobody every talks about the fact that the “rebels” could actually be radical Islamists who are WORSE than Gaddafi.
Also, who is going to get stuck with the cost of actually re-building Libya after this civil war is over? Why, you and me, of course, through American dollars that get pumped into the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF just LOVES giving lots of cash to countries like Libya, the cash that usually ends up in the Swiss bank accounts of the next dictator that takes over the country.
Oh, and don’t forget about the slaughter that will take place if Gaddafi loses. How “forgiving” do you think the rebels will be to the people who supported Gaddafi? No, I didn’t think so. Yes, this was a “magical” experience getting involved in a civil war we had no business sticking our noses into.
He’s getting exactly what he wants. My son’s brigade has been in Afghanistan about two months and already has had as many killed as the brigade they replaced did in nine months, half that brigade’s losses came in the last month of their deployment. More photo ops for Der Kline Fuhrer, making the world safe for his true belief system; islam.
i don’t get it…a UN vote to give the pals a state would be a great thing for israel…the abrogation of oslo…a gift horse with a really big mouth, i think… plus, if the us does not veto it, at least it might clarify for american voters where the great leader really stands… after all, it’s not like we don’t already know where the nations of the world stand.
The arab palestiniens have been offered an independent state repeatedly, but have never accepted the existence of Israel as a condition.
A concentrated attack on Israel just may bring a nuclear retaliation on not just the Arab nations but the West as well. We may be looking at a doomsday senario.
a “doomsday scenario,” then the arabs had better damn well not attack israel, right?
so how come just when israel fights back, it’s all of a sudden a doomsday scenario?
could that be just the way the west sees it, that israel’s not supposed to fight back?
and why the european union points to israel as the “greatest threat to world peace”?
and it wants this world rid of israel for good, so there can be peace on earth at last?
back to human sacrifice again , , ,
Oh, for God’s sake, his eyes are NOT closed.
He wants a Middle East crisis. It’s as plain as the nose on your face. Everything about the guy screams about his hatred of Jews and love of the Muslims. Personally, I don’t think it is religious leanings, but the perverted “dreams” of his father, and 50 years of anti-American indoctination. Israel is a handy and exploitable proxy for that hatred.
Moreover, a war in the Middle East would be a SUPER crisis to help his permanent re-election campaign. Don’t be confused because it seems risky. Alinkyites love risk. They don’t get emotional about winning or losing, but rather entirely focused on how to expoit the crisis. Whatever the outcome, they will find a way to make it work.
So for Obama, a war in the Middle East is a twofer. He gets a damn good chance to wipe a proxy for the United States off the face of the earth and help his Muslim allies, and he has a thrilling crisis to exploit for his reelection. What could be better than that?
The religious left (Democrat Party) has come out of the closet. Check out their letters against Israel to Obama
http://wwwtwosetsofbooks.blogspot.com/2011/08/pacifistsreligious-left-send-letters-to.html
Let’s see the Obamantion has NOT supported the rebels in the two nations that are totally hostile and support Hezzbollah, the terror group responsible for more AMERICAN deaths than Al Queda. IRAN and SYRIA- nope just hot air response-
then of course in the nations overthrowing regimes that are frenemies at best, but never the less in a cold rapport with us- he supports those rebels whose actions will most likley result in totally hostile regimes and Islamic totalitarianism for the people.Oh yeah and gas price hikes – blackmail jizya
As for what passes for victory in the Middle East- it’s irrelevant – no matter what defeats they suffer, their leaders tell them they won- as in Cast Lead, as in Egypt war with Israel-as they will with Afghanistan and Iraq- the truth is not an issue – the media and the myth it spews, is ALL. We are dealing with a people raised on MYTH and fantasy, who are wholly convinced it’s real.
Israel is right to be wary of this OBAMANTION- but as Marcel has pointed out the previous were not really much better- this 2 state piece-by-piece idiocy is suicidal for Isarel- one poster thought throwing money at hostiles within Israel will fix the problem- sorry it won’t- Israel already extends them welfare, education and builds their freakin mosques!!!
Kahane was right- they should have been put out long ago-like the JEWS were put outof Arabia Persia Egypt and GAZA— not left as a 5th column- giving GAZA up was a HUGE mistake and a grave CRIME against JEW. Sinai is turning out the same way- more bases for terror to attack Israel. Jordan is occupying Israel land too- Palestine and Zionism DIED in 1948 – leaving only Israel and 57 hostile nations surrounding it. EU and Scandanavia, Turkey, have gone hostile and Obamantion pretends to friendship only b/c to say out loud otherwise is to lose votes. But the reality is plain as the nose on your face.
Obama’s advisor is an IRISH JUDEOPHOBIC C**t who advocates US troops to support FATAH.
Israel is alone. When the Freakestinains get another land grab I hope they do get statehood so when they attack it can be declared a war and Israel can DEMOLISH them fair and square as they deserve. There is just so much poking one can do before getting smacked down.
Mr. Rubin,
Are you not missing the bigger picture? DaOne, and his CFR government has turned a blind eye to Iran’s building of terror groups around Israel. Now, look what is happening. It is not just Afganistan, and Iraq. It is about how a BLT global Marxist allowed a State sponcer of terror bring a region to the brink of war.
If I was you Sir, I would get a loving German Shephard, and Mossburg 12 guage,(take the plug out), and secure your home from those who worship the god of the Kaaba who states Jews are to be murdered everywhere they are found. Just like what is going on right now to Jewish families in Israel.
BZO, or Die Sir!
Obama, is not blind to what is happening in the middle east. This is exactly what he wants for the American people so do the big money people obama works for, surely obama does not work for the American`s peoples interest. If we have riots in the streets like obamas unions and his communist friends. The government can and will put us under marshall law. Obama already does not honor our Constitution and his actions are that of a dictator!
Yet another example:
During the 2008 campaign, Candidate Obama was clear about the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear weapons program. In a “60 Minutes” interview (9/22/2008), he said:
“I think that a nuclear armed Iran is …a game changer in the region. It’s unacceptable. And that’s why I’ve said that I won’t take any options off the table, including military, to prevent them from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”
Earlier (July 23, 2008), he told an Israeli audience: “That is our single most important threat toIsrael but also to the United States of America. So this is something that we’re going to spend a lot of time working on.”
Since then, Iran’s nuclear weapons program has progressed unimpeded. The centrifuges continue to hum, fuel continues to be stockpiled, and the only remaining question is when the first Iranian nukes will be ready to mount on their missiles. When, not if.
And where is President Obama’s commitment “to spend a lot of time working on” the problem? Whatever happened to all the “options” he so boldly kept on the table? It appears that the options, along with the “single most important threat to the USA”, have somehow fallen off the president’s table.
In the best case, it is possible that Obama, like Neville Chamberlain before him, believed that hostile powers led by apocalyptic madmen would respond positively to his outreach and reasonableness; in this case, he honestly doesn’t know what to do now.
Or, in an uglier interpretation, one might suppose that his campaign statements were merely cynical political moves designed to secure the support of those voters concerned about the threat: promises, like piecrusts, made to be broken.
But Obama’s psychology is not the immediate concern. Iran must be stopped from becoming a nuclear power. They cannot be stopped without US leadership.
If Iran cannot be stopped from being a nuclear power without US leadership, then Obama’s psychology most certainly is the immediate concern because he is, de facto and ex officio, our US leadership, and in these capacities he’s been taking active steps to destroy Israel and to soften the United States up for the kill. His endless dithering on Iran is one of them.
Friends, i am an American,and a Christian… I cannot write with the finess you good people can, but i will say this to you all……Israel is the apple of YHWH`s eye….and as a mother hen fusses over her nest of chicks, so does the Eye of the Lord fuss over his nation of Israel….This is all in HIS hands….I truly wish that i could declare war on the evil, Godless heathen who wants to destroy Israel and the U.S.A…..But that does not seem to be what the Lord wants me to do right at this moment….I read every word written by you good people, when it comes to Israel, THE APPLE OF HIS EYE….Thanks….Jimi
Jimi, you people are the good people. As a Jew I thank God for you every day. Please keep praying.
The world protests Israel’s self defense vigorously, yet gives terrorist Palestine a pass.

Obama’s attitude toward Jews and Israel is statistically the attitude of most African Americans who are significantly more anti-Semitic than European Americans.
The earliest European Americans fled here for religious freedom. American Jews are forever beholden to the Christians known as Puritans. (Puritans considered themselves true Christians; they were called Puritans by their enemies.) The Puritans, contrary to the popular image, lived full, rich lives according to the Biblical commandment, “And you will rejoice in your festivals and be a happy nation.” No Christian group in two thousand years of Christian history came so close to living life as Jews.
The Puritans kept the Sabbath Day holy as do the Jews. Boston baked beans was the Puritan’s Sabbath stew as potato based Chulent is the Sabbath stew of the Jews. The Puritan ethic is the Jewish ethic. The Puritan influence in America is what makes it so comfortable a home for Jews. The Puritan influence is waning but remains strong among Christian Evangelicals who are the best friends modern Israel has in the world.
Today, Puritans are remembered for the Salem witch trials. Conveniently forgotten is the burning alive during the witch craze of a million or more witches by the Roman Catholic Church and some low hundreds of thousands by the Lutherans. Every elderly European man or woman with Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia was burned at the stake.
African Americans know nothing about history. What mainly concerns them is fashion–white people’s fashion which African Americans slavishly imitate to fit in. Jews aren’t popular and so African Americans are naturally Ant-Semitic–far more so for Black’s enthuhsiasm for white fashion, than white Americans.
African Americans didn’t recognize that full 50% of the whites marching with MLK were Jewish. Jews who help black people are just white folks. Blacks forget that during the Civil War Draft Riots in New York City, the worst single worst racist outrage in the nation’s history, the only Jewish hospital in New York was the only hospital whose doors remained open to wounded and bleeding and burned African American men women and children. Catholic hospitals firmly shut their doors and refused wounded and dying blacks from entry and treatment. So did the various Protestant hospitals. African Americans don’t remember that it was Jewish money and Jewish organizational skill that founded the NAACP.
Any Jew whose voting aligns with that of African Americans is as ignorant as they are.
“Any Jew whose voting aligns with that of African Americans is as ignorant as they are,” then about 4 out of every 5 Jewish voters have proved themselves to be exactly that, as over 78 % of them cast their votes for Obama.
In light of more recent events, and what else may yet take place until election day in 2012, I imagine those figures will go down, but who knows? The only state Jewish voters may tip the balance against Obama, is Florida.
Mr. Rubin refers, I believe, to Harry Cohn, of Columbia Pictures. Indeed, it would seem that President Obama has no problem giving headaches to Israel.
But then, can it be truly said that Israel is an U.S. ally. If so, why is Jonathan POllard still ion prison after 25 years?
I hear nothing from Washington except the drivel that Obama has to say about the new Libya. In the mean time Hamas has declared a new ‘truce’. Why? After the Elat attacks, rockets were fired into Israel. Eight men were wounded in a synagogue and other damages were done. This was followed by a two day barrage of around 80 rockets of different sorts. Still there is no word from Washington. Now there is a new campaign in Europe saying that Israel has no right to retaliate. I’m waiting to hear Obama echo the same.
I just learned that 15 more rockets have been fired since Hamas called its ‘truce’.

I suppose this move will favor HBSC because they can cut their wage bill by 90% or more. All the bankers who think that they are worth their huge bonuses will find that China is full of young, hungry PhD’s who will be willing to do their jobs for a fraction of their salaries.
