So yes, Israel can go eat shit in as far as I'm concerned. If they want to attack Iran, then they are on their own.
So if we leave Israel on its own and they attack Iran, then the price of oil doesn't go up? it only goes up if we support them? I don't think that's the way it would work.

At least no American troops are killed and we don't have to use our military equipment. Just the stuff we gave Israel as part of their welfare.

Why won't Mitt speak to the press? At least his spokesman is staying classy.

Quote:
WARSAW, Poland - A Mitt Romney spokesman reprimanded reporters traveling with the candidate on his six-day foreign trip, telling them to "kiss my a**" after they shouted questions from behind a rope line.

As Romney left the site of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw and walked toward his motorcade parked in Pilsudski Square, reporters began shouting questions from the line where campaign staffers had told them to stay behind, prompting traveling press secretary Rick Gorka to tell a group of reporters to "kiss my a**" and "shove it."

I thought that was obvious.

I'm sick and tired of the US fighting proxy wars for Israel. Aren't you?

Put it this way; If Israel knows that if they attack Iran that we will NOT support them, they will thik twice about it. Like they are doing now.

With Romney, it's like they have carte blanche to do whatever they want, and we then have to clean up the mess.

No thanks.

I don't remember when the last time was. Please remind me when we sent our army to fight Israel's wars (proxy or non-proxy). Oh, Iraq was a proxy war for Israel (I don't think so, although i'm sure it benefitted Israel).

At least Romney clearly knows the good guys from the bad guys.

'Good guys' and 'bad guys' is fiction.
