Dear Bea; Jabotinsky warned Jews of the impending catastrophe awaiting them. Some listened and acted, unfortunately too may didn’t. But Jabotinsky did not use hate as his tool.
As a former Officer/Paratrooper in Israel, I never hated nor cursed Arabs or Muslims. I served to protect my country. I simply find that people who have nothing of substance to say revert to personal gutter language, which does not help them or us in any way – push the wall – it pushes right back at you. in 1973 The Egyptians used water to tear down the Barlev sand berns – not Cannons.

Yea, bring back the ol’ “shock and awe”. That was lives and money well spent!
Obama got bin Laden. So, right wingers, behave. He’s far less “deceptive” than Bush and got more done: tougher sanctions, and in many other ways: e.g.far better environmental record (oops, the e word! Like it doesn’t matter.)
I think Iran may besetting us up for a sucker punch. That’s what happened in Iraq. Iran is being really obvious and provocative (like painting the mountain enrichment site white) knowing how we will react. So, forget knee-jerk reactions. Do we really have good intelligence, i.e. that isn’t “fixed” to say what we want?
In Iraq we wasted enormous resources, because the Right thinks that war is “no-nonsense” and “efficient”. $3 Trillion,when all is said and done, and 100,000 + lives. For what?
Unintended consequences of attack are never know beforehand. E.G. Pakistan siding with Iran and “lending” it nukes. etc.
Hot debate. What do you think?

What? Obama might just well be the most obsessive liar. It is one thing to be a politician with all the derogatory feelings one conjures up but to tell us all he will be a president of accountability and transparency and doing the opposite is not only lying but pure chutzpah. Read Malkin’s Culture Of Corruption and any politician looks like they bathed in Anti-Bacterial soap next to Obama and his first crony. I mean Hillary was told she was acting like Imelda Marcos with 7 aids payed by taxpayers. Michelle Obama has 24! Who do these bankrolled socialists on taxpayer’s money think they are?

Below is Sheriff Arpaio’s conclusions about Obama stemming from his investigation.
“President Barack Obama’s long-form birth certificate released by the White House on April 27, 2011, is suspected to be a computer-generated forgery, not a scan of an original 1961 paper document as represented by the White House when the long-form birth certificate was made public,” Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said at a press conference today in Phoenix.
• President Obama’s Selective Service card was most likely a forgery, revealed by an examination of the postal date stamp on the document;
• Records of Immigration and Naturalization Service cards filled out by airplane passengers arriving on international flights originating outside the United States in the month of August 1961, examined at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., are missing records for the week of President Obama’s birth, including the dates Aug. 1, 1961 through Aug. 7, 1961.

You’re not listening, Jan. The short form is not the issue. The issue is the long form birth certificate that Obama himself released just several months ago. The Sheriff and his experts are claiming that very form is a forgery. They have also unearthed suspicious findings re Obama’s social security number and selective service number. Pls read my message again carefully. It contains a clear summary of some of the Sheriff’s findings. You can also go to the Sheriff’s press conference itself in which he provided all this information in profuse detail. You might also pick up Aaron Klein’s bestseller The Manchurian President, You can listen to Mr. Klein on WABC radio Sunday afternoons from 6 to 8 PM.

Arpaio: ‘Probable cause’ Obama certificate a fraud
Team wants investigation elevated to criminal-forgery probe – person of interest ID’d
Published: 7 days ago
NOTE: In case you missed the news conference of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse,” you can view the news conference at this online location.
PHOENIX – An investigative “Cold Case Posse” launched six months ago by “America’s toughest sheriff” – Joe Arpaio of Arizona’s Maricopa County – has concluded there is probable cause that the document released by the White House last year as President Obama’s birth certificate is a computer-generated forgery.
The investigative team has asked Arpaio, who is at a news conference in Phoenix live-streamed by WND TV that began at 3 p.m. Eastern time, to elevate the investigation to a criminal probe that will make available the resources of his Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
The posse says it has identified at least one person of interest in the alleged forgery of Obama’s birth certificate.
Arapaio, known for his strict enforcement of immigration laws, commissioned the investigative team after local citizens presented him with a petition expressing concern that Obama might not be eligible for Arizona’s presidential ballot.
In addition to the live-streaming, WND is making available to the public a report distributed to media today by Arpaio’s investigators.

The posse, comprised of former law enforcement officers and lawyers with law enforcement experience, has interviewed dozens of witnesses and examined hundreds of documents. It also has taken numerous sworn statements from witnesses around the world.
Mike Zullo, Arpaio’s lead investigator, said his team believes the Hawaii Department of Health has engaged in a systematic effort to hide from public inspection any original 1961 birth records it may have in its possession.
“Officers of the Hawaii Department of Health and various elected Hawaiian public officials may have intentionally obscured 1961 birth records and procedures to avoid having to release to public inspection and to the examination of court-authorized forensic examiners any original Obama 1961 birth records the Hawaii Department of Health may or may not have,” Zullo said.
The investigators say the evidence contained in the computer-generated PDF file released by the White House as well as important deficiencies in the Hawaii process of certifying the long-form birth certificate establish probable cause that a forgery has been committed.
The investigation was launched after 250 members of the Surprise, Ariz., Tea Party, presented a signed petition to Arpaio in August 2011 asking him to undertake the investigation.
The Tea Party members petitioned under the premise that if a forged birth certificate was used to place Barack Obama on the 2012 Arizona presidential ballot, their rights as Maricopa County voters could be compromised.
Arpaio believes a congressional investigation might be warranted and has asked that any information relevant to the investigation held by other law enforcement agencies be forwarded to his office.
The Cold Case Posse advised Arpaio that they believe forgers committed two crimes. First, they say it appears the White House fraudulently created a forgery that it characterized as an officially produced governmental birth record. Second, the White House fraudulently presented to the residents of Maricopa County and to the American public at large a forgery represented as “proof positive” of President Obama’s authentic 1961 Hawaii long-form birth certificate.
“A continuing investigation is needed to identify the identity of the person or persons involved in creating the alleged birth certificate forgery and to determine who, if anyone, in the White House or the state of Hawaii may have authorized the forgery,” Arpaio said.
Among the evidence released at the press conference are five videos – which can be seen at the end of this article – to demonstrate why the Obama long-form birth certificate is suspected to be a computer-generated forgery.
The videos consist of step-by-step computer demonstrations using a control document. They display the testing used by the investigators to examine various claims made by supporters of the April 27 document.
The investigators contend the videos illustrate their conclusion that the features and anomalies observed on the Obama long-form birth certificate were inconsistent with features produced when a paper document is scanned, even if the scan is enhanced by Optical Character Recognition, OCR, and optimized.
Additionally, the posse says, the videos demonstrate that the Hawaii Department of Health Registrar’s name stamp and the registrar’s date stamp were computer-generated images imported into an electronic document, as opposed to rubber stamp imprints inked by hand or machine onto a paper document.
“That we were able to cast reasonable suspicions on the authenticity of the registrar stamps was especially disturbing, since these stamp imprints are designed to provide government authentication to the document itself,” Zullo said, emphasizing that if the registrar stamps are forgeries, the document itself is likely a forgery.
The investigators also chronicled a series of allegedly inconsistent and misleading representations that various Hawaii government officials have made over the past five years regarding any original birth records held by the Hawaii Department of Health.
“As I said at the beginning of the investigation, the president can put all this to rest quite easily,” Arpaio said. “All he has to do is demand the Hawaii Department of Health release to the American public and to a panel of certified court-authorized forensic examiners all original 1961 paper, microfilm and computer birth records the Hawaii Department of Health has in its possession.”
Arpaio emphasized that the Hawaii Department of Health needs to provide, as part of the full disclosure, evidence regarding the chain of custody of all Obama birth records, including paper, microfilm and electronic records to eliminate the possibility that a forger or forgers may have tampered with the birth records.
The sheriff said the president should also authorize Honolulu’s Kapi’olani Hospital, the birth hospital listed on the Obama long-form birth certificate, to release any hospital patient records for Stanley Ann Dunham Obama, his mother, and for the newly born Barack Obama, to provide corroboration for the records held in the Hawaii Department of Health vault.
“Absent the authentic Hawaii Department of Health 1961 birth records for Barack Obama, there is no other credible proof supporting the idea or belief that President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, as he and the White House have consistently asserted,” Zullo said.
“In fact, absent the authentication of Hawaii Department of Health 1961 birth records for Barack Obama, there is no other proof he was born anywhere within the United States.”
In addition, investigators say they have developed credible evidence that President Obama’s Selective Service card was a forgery, based on an examination of the postal date stamp on the document. Also, records of Immigration and Naturalization Service cards filled out by passengers arriving on international flights originating outside the United States in the month of August 1961, examined at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., are missing records for the week of President Obama’s birth.

All war can do, either by Israel and/or the U.S., is delay the process of getting “the bomb.” It will also unify the Iranian people against the West and for their dictators (whom they are getting tired of anyway). The sanctions route could help create a positive and lasting stop to Iran’s program of destabilization of the region. If it does not work, then bomb the hell out of them.

I do apreciate President Obama’s support but he can never say enough to calm Israeli fears over Iran. He can say he is going to protect Israel like a mother hen protects its young. In the end he is still just a chicken and we will be scrambled eggs. If the United States was willing to preemptively distroy Iran and risk a world war with Russia & China such talk could be a deterrent for Iran. The diffuculty of expecting rational behavior from an irrational foe is very problematic.
Obama has no ablity to protect Israel from a nuclear attack if it is launched. He will only react to the results of such an attack. This will be too late for most of Israel. Only permanent changes in the country of Iran will decrease fear in Israel.

Only the obliteration of Iran can do that. And then what of the rest of the Muslim world that BELIEVES Israel should be wiped out?
IMHO Obama sees consequences, says he is trying to find an approach without war. Predicting what anyone will do when confronted with an emergency is questionable.
What would YOU do if President? What would you consider? IF YOU said “I’ve got your back”, what would YOU mean by that???

First we should remember that in Iranian eyes they are perfectly rational and sensible for the same religious reasons we have seen too much of, when Jerusalem is discussed. Besides their analyses and ability as “wind-up artists” of the West is good – they have sussed out our political weaknesses of having to electioneer some very average voters accompanied by an unsubtle press with a black and white attitude and no sense of grey nor playing not to lose.
Second Avi Shlaim is in some ways following a Jewish path that goes back to the First Exile namely if calamities befall us it is because we have done wrong in the eyes of the Lord been slack on proper behaviour and we should brush up by reinforcing observance and belief. Further he left Israel half a lifetime ago and is not so finger on the pulse of the present as on decades back. From his Oxford dreaming spire he loses touch with the effects of Arab actions on Israeli outlook and attitude. As somebody above asked: what would we do in the big man’s boots? and Shlaim as an academic seems to forget that politicians often are caught between bad and worse and have to do something to satisfy outraged constituents – and Arab behaviour has outraged Israelis a few times more than wise. Not recognising Arab sins nor offering a better way of dealing with them is his mistake
Attacking Iran openly is very risky being at Israel’s extreme range to sustain a conflict; will not necessarily be seriously succesful; and given the example of the Cold War stand off it might be safer to rely on Mutually Assured Destruction and tough it out quietly. Most important war is a form of political behaviour so would opening an Eastern Front be any wiser than those others who have marched on Moscow? Charles XII of Sweden, Napoleon, Kaiser Bill and you know who. After the attack Iran will stilll be there, like Russia who warned the allies over the 1916 attempt to close World War I with talks….”Russia is the only combattant that can leave The War and remain a great power.” If the US won the Cold War it was by not putting it to the test and expense of hot war as she had longer staying power for the peacetime marginally extra defence expenditure. This is also why Israel has survived the Arab vendetta. In her local superiority and internal lines of communication, she can clock their boneheaded occasional hot wars while having more organisation and internal coherence to put up with the long term defence costs without intefering with her self development.

One can have Mutually Shared Destruction only where one has both sides not wanting to take the chance of being destroyed. While Israel does not want the possibilities of huge numbers of casualties, the same cannot be said of Iran. They are quite willing to accept them for the elimination of The Jewish State. One cannot forget their use of children, with keys to heaven, being sent to make paths through mine fields.
Talk is cheap especially as seen through the eyes of those who view the speaker of making threats that will not be carried through.

With the costs and chances of success of military action daunting and questionable at best, is it surprising that the U.S. is not eager? Knowing their fat is in the fire, too?

Everyone made so much about the first black mayor/president but who cares about the color of the man (or women) it is the abilities, character, and experience they possess.

I have changed my position since I saw Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech at AIPAC. He obviously isn’t afraid of Iran or what Obama might do to undermine Israel’s security. Israel will find a way to do what it must do to survive. I’m proud to be an American but I don’t know wo I am more afraid of Iran, a bloated Islamic institution for Islamists jihadi hate, or Obama a antinominialistic pacifist, incapable of considering military options as even being on the table. I am much more hopeful now that I have heard Bibi state his case without the filter of the Obama shariah compliant and syncophant media interpreting.

Below is Sheriff Arpaio’s conclusions about Obama stemming from his investigation.
“President Barack Obama’s long-form birth certificate released by the White House on April 27, 2011, is suspected to be a computer-generated forgery, not a scan of an original 1961 paper document as represented by the White House when the long-form birth certificate was made public,” Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said at a press conference today in Phoenix.
• President Obama’s Selective Service card was most likely a forgery, revealed by an examination of the postal date stamp on the document;
• Records of Immigration and Naturalization Service cards filled out by airplane passengers arriving on international flights originating outside the United States in the month of August 1961, examined at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., are missing records for the week of President Obama’s birth, including the dates Aug. 1, 1961 through Aug. 7, 1961.

Do facts matter? No doubt, it would simply be impossible to assure the naysayers. Yet, we try.
RE: Obama’s Birth Certificate..
. According to both the Hawaii state government website and a June 6, 2009 article in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, the computer-generated Certification of Live Birth is the only kind of birth record now issued by the state (original records are stored electronically), so the distinction between “short-form” and “long-form” is moot. When a citizen of Hawaii requests a certified copy of his or her birth certificate from the state, a Certification of Live Birth — what people are calling the “short-form,” and what Obama released to the public — is what they get. According to Hawaii Health Department spokesperson Janice Okubo, a COLB contains “all the information needed by all federal government agencies for transactions requiring a birth certificate.”

Reply to Bernard.. This site is determined to cast Obama as Haman. Did he decrease financial support for Israel? You would think so. His only job is to consider U.S. interests, and a quick n’ easy war with Iran just may not be the way to go.
And about the Birth Certificate… Reminds me about the old bogus claims about Clinton, by Law Enforcement, as I remember. And the bogus claims about Obama being a Muslim (not that there is anything wrong with that). No proof, only innuendo. (It’s easy to connect dots when you have a picture in mind). And the bogus claims about WMD.
Birth Certificate: Let’s see what you got Sheriff! Put it out there for scrutiny. Here’s something, that I can more easily believe. When questioned about it,
“It’s a valid Hawaii state birth certificate,” stated Hawaii Department of Health spokesperson Janice Okubo when queried by the St. Petersburg Times’ PolitiFact.com website in June 2008. In addition, the actual physical document was scrutinized and photographed by researchers at FactCheck.org (see hi-res images), who determined that it was in fact duly signed, sealed, and certified by the Hawaii state registrar, and “meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship.”
Sources:
• Obama’s Birth Certificate: Final Chapter. Politifact.com, July 2009
• Born in the U.S.A. FactCheck.org, 1 Nov 2008

Arpaio emphasized that the Hawaii Department of Health needs to provide, as part of the full disclosure, evidence regarding the chain of custody of all Obama birth records, including paper, microfilm and electronic records to eliminate the possibility that a forger or forgers may have tampered with the birth records.
The sheriff said the president should also authorize Honolulu’s Kapi’olani Hospital, the birth hospital listed on the Obama long-form birth certificate, to release any hospital patient records for Stanley Ann Dunham Obama, his mother, and for the newly born Barack Obama, to provide corroboration for the records held in the Hawaii Department of Health vault.
“Absent the authentic Hawaii Department of Health 1961 birth records for Barack Obama, there is no other credible proof supporting the idea or belief that President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, as he and the White House have consistently asserted,” Zullo said.
“In fact, absent the authentication of Hawaii Department of Health 1961 birth records for Barack Obama, there is no other proof he was born anywhere within the United States.”
In addition, investigators say they have developed credible evidence that President Obama’s Selective Service card was a forgery, based on an examination of the postal date stamp on the document. Also, records of Immigration and Naturalization Service cards filled out by passengers arriving on international flights originating outside the United States in the month of August 1961, examined at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., are missing records for the week of President Obama’s birth.
