Talking to a crowd in Germany, he said: "Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world."

Like all good puppets he goes where he is told to go by his handler/puppeteer. And he will follow the orders of his master(s), just like McCain does. The only difference in them is their color--both of them are just establishment toadies.

Because we have dimwits here in America that look to Europe as 'enlightened' and believe that we should follow their example of an all powerful nanny state.

Iran Faces `All Options' Over Atomic Work, Israeli General Says
By Jonathan Ferziger
July 24 (Bloomberg) -- Israel's top military commander said he told U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Pentagon officials that both countries must be ready to use force to stop Iran's nuclear development program if diplomacy fails.
``We all realize, both the Americans and us, that all options must be prepared,'' Lieutenant-General Gabi Ashkenazi said in an interview from Washington on Israel Radio. ``There is no doubt that diplomacy must be given priority.''
Ashkenazi, Israel's military chief of staff, is in Washington all week for talks with the U.S. on strategic cooperation amid escalating tensions with Iran.
Iran test-fired a missile on July 9 that it said was capable of reaching Israel. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the next day that Iran will have to confront ``the power and capability of the United States'' if it attacks Israel.
Ashkenazi said he met with Cheney and held talks with top military officials at the Pentagon. He is scheduled today to meet with Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Why the rush "to do" Iran now?
Better to wait until T.H.E. Messiah assumes the WH throne what with an overwhelming win in the November elections. Then there were will be all those Obamaphile freedom fighters and/or their children and nephews and nieces waiting in the wings and so eager to respond to their hero's call to "National Service", ie fighting for Israel...ahem, I mean, America...in the desert sands of Iran...that can be a their "cakewalk" tour of military action before they are "re-deployed" to hunting OBL in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan and to liberating the genocided Darfurians and starving Zimbabians.
Everyone on s2's ping list: come back, you've been missed.
I have argued against ridiculous Obama attacks that only distract from valid ones. I have voluntarily stayed away as such argument was pointless. Things such as his vote for telecom immunity, for example, are very valid.
Obama will likely win in November because Bush is a disaster, McCain is an inept campaigner reminiscent of Bob Dole, and the economy will largely drive the election against the party that has been in power. Had there been a Dem administration the past eight years, it would work the other way.
For the general ballot, the electorate should probably identify the incumbents and vote for anyone else. What the electorate will do is return the vast majority of incumbents to office. Having gained another vote of approval from the electorate, they will carry on with the competition of seeing who can deliver the most pork. The competition between the Dems and GOP is akin to the competition between the AFC and NFC. The victor is temporary champion, but regardless of which it is, the corporate NFL sitting above, wins.

For the American neocon and Israeli warriors who advocate bombing Iran, the little provocation in South Ossetia at the start of the Olympics, with American- and Israeli-trained and Israeli-assisted Georgian troops, may be seen as a harbinger of the likely Russian response to a larger scale adventure in Iran. Call it a Russian Monroe doctrine. The Russian response appears to have been wildly underestimated by the nutcases who decided to start the South Ossetia crap. Israel should not plan on Russia being a passive bystander if they bomb Iran which also borders Russia.
A good term for it. While I greatly understand why nations like Poland or Hungary would want NATO membership after their last 50 years of "relations" with Moscow; NATO has been much too brazen and in your face about it with Russia.
Over the last 500 years most of Russia's miseries have marched in from the west, so it's no wonder that German and French NATO troops cruising around Poland on training manuvers upsets them to no end.
On top of that you now have NATO control of Yugoslavia, which during the cold war was off limits to either side. The US in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus a desire to place troops in Iran. I'm not amazed that the Kremlin is starting to feel a bit boxed in.
The Russian response appears to have been wildly underestimated by the nutcases who decided to start the South Ossetia crap.
"Touch me and my big brother will beat you up!"
I think Russia has multiple goals with their current war effort. The first, and this is just my opinion, is that Georgia would make an good base for US bombers to strike Iran. Hence, they wish to deny that to the US. Second, I think they are rubbing the Kosovo mess and their double standards on the issue in NATO's face.

According to a treaty signed between Persia (Iran) and Russia, the Caspian Sea is technically a lake and it is to be divided into two sectors (Persian and Russian), but the resources (then mainly fish) would be commonly shared. The line between the two sectors was to be seen as an international border in a common lake, like Lake Albert. Also the Russian sector was sub-divided into administrative sectors of the four littoral republics.

Ok.
I was talking about land borders. I even went back and looked it up as I was pretty sure Russian and Iran didn't share a land border.

Despite the puzzlement and disappointment of Obama's actions and statements re Israel, even taken all together they do not trump the WMD/Fear/War mantra of McCain's intentions for a Bush III administration.

Ico, I'll send you $100 dollars to be forwarded to the Obama campaign if you
can give me one solid reason we should become entangled in Afghanistan,
Obama's war of choice.

Jethro Tull: Ico, I'll send you $100 dollars to be forwarded to the Obama campaign if you can give me one solid reason we should become entangled in Afghanistan, Obama's war of choice.
JT, not only becoming more involved in Afghanistan but also Obama's stated intention to challenge ie. provoke Pakistan, which has a sizable Muslim population and which also has a sizable contingent of existing anti-American Pakistani military and intelligence officers, whose numbers would grow, if Prez Obama antagonized Pakistan. We cannot afford to alienate or take on Pakistan - that would be an absolute calamity for America.
Obama is also big on peace-keeping forces ( we know how easily that can morph into military action) to be sent to intervene in African disputes and conflicts. Together with Obama's stated policy on NATIONAL SERVICE future plans for young people, where do you think that might lead???
And I might remind everyone of Obama's speech at AIPAC and his promise to BoomBoom Netanyahu in a meeting they had together during Obama's recent visit to Israel that Israel's defense is Obama's major priority. After that meeting, Netanyahu gave his thumbs up endorsement of Obama. What does that tell you? Is there any difference between Obama and McCain re: their tied at the hip loyalty to Israel? I don't see a difference, do you, iconoclast? Obama even went so far as to say that Israel should get Jerusalem as its undivided capitol. What??? If Pres Obama tried to make that come to be, the whole ME would be inflamed with bloodshed.
Quit picking on Ico. He's not right in the head ya know. ;-)

If a withdrawal timeline was the best way to inspire Iraqis to sort out their own bloody differences, does that not hold for Afghans? After all, we have been in Afghanistan longer than in Iraq and the question of civil war there is so academic its not even questioned. If diplomacy is the key to peace with Iran, why not try this tact with AQ and bin Laden? The truth be known these arguments have caused the Piles to retreat to the confines of their steril cocoon, where such reality is ignored rather than discussed.
Liberalism, even in small doses, causes massive mental conflictions that only copious amounts of alcohol can resolve.
Only alcohol? ;-)

It's a mute point, JT. I don't believe Obama has any intention of getting entangled in another Iraq type debacle.
His goal, his intentions, and his strategy fall far short of another "dumb" war.

Obama has never mentioned an all out invasion of Pakistan, but to sit here while bin Ladin has a free pass for eternal sanctuary in an area beyond Pakistan's control is madness.

Huh? He has been completely clear re; Afghanistan. Iraqi combat troops to be moved there to seek and destroy bin Laden and AQ. The Collective refuses to discuss this, but he will continue Bush's psychotic War on Terror.
Quit picking on Ico. He's not right in the head ya know. ;-)
The only ones "not right in the head" were those that pre-emptively invaded Iraq, those that supported that invasion and those that continue to fail to recognize the difference in the two situations.

Madness is antagonizing Pakistan, a nation that maybe has not been the best ally 100% of the time, but which has not been too bad all things considered. Pakistan would make a very bad enemy if we provoke and meddle with the Paki military. If OBL is still alive, he's hiding and being protected by the Paki civilians in the mountainous region known as No Man's Land. Lots of luck Prez Obama in finding him there.
Besides which unless we get our self-defeating and very destructive pro-Israel obsession out of the shadows and changed, we are creating 100 new volunteers for AQ and OBL daily by allowing Israel to snuff the Palis.
Obama is not planning to change the master-servant relationship that Israel has with us. Obama got endorsed, 2 thumbs up by BoomBoom Netanyahu after their closed door meeting in Israel.
Obama is just as willing and eager to go to war on Izzy's behalf as McCain. Get a grip.
For all intents and purposes we cut and ran from Afghanistan as soon as GWB and his ilk convinced themselves we were prepared to establish our first imperial province in the ME.
If diplomacy is the key to peace with Iran, why not try this tact with AQ and bin Laden?
Iran is not now and never has been our enemy (they supported us against the Taliban which they detest perhaps more than we do). OTOH, bin Laden INVADED our nation, first time for a foreign invasion of our nation since when? 1812?
Diplomacy with invaders has heretofore been known as surrender.
