Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 456207 Austria 01/04/2009 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | RAW STORY Published: Saturday January 3, 2009 With less than three weeks until the inauguration of Barack Obama, the president-elect has stayed silent on the deepening crisis in Gaza as Israel begins a ground invasion against Hamas. Members of Obama's transition team have only said their boss is "monitoring" the situation, where at least 460 people have already been killed in eight days of air raids. Obama's national security spokeswoman Brooke Anderson issued a statement after the ground assault got underway, but offered no further comment on the violence in Gaza except to use a phrase repeated often by Obama and his aides: "There is one president at a time and we intend to respect that." Obama has spent the last several weeks pushing for an economic stimulus plan and has said that fixing the broken US economy is his top priority. The soon-to-be president would face immense difficulty with his economic plans if he makes any move deemed "anti-Israel," according to a Friday opinion column. "The White House will see its prime political enterprise, the economic recovery programme, immediately held hostage," according to the column. Obama's silence is drawing criticism among Arabs who have grown skeptical that his administration will break with the Middle East policies of his predecessor. The satellite TV network Al Jazeera contrasted footage of Obama wearing shorts and playing golf in Hawaii with scenes of the carnage in Gaza, by way of highlighting what it called "the deafening silence from the Obama team." Wire services contributed to this report. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 512611 United States 01/04/2009 01:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm beginning to think that this massacre was not meant to take place until after the inauguration. Joe "I'm a zionist" Biden was referring to this massacre when he spoke about Obombus making an "unpopular decision" about an international event. Next move? Israel, in her usual blood-sucking capacity, is just chomping at the bit. Can't get Iran involved, which was the reason for the massacre and now Israel is receiving worldwide condemnation for a situation which has been going on for 60 years now coming to the Light for all to see. Israel is screwed beyond all knowing and the slut is fully aware of this. About 10 years ago I predicted Israel would one day nuke USA. I think that is what we are going to see next. |

Why should the majority of the human race get the short end of the stick because USA happened to have been 'big' decades ago? |

The country is falling apart! How long until the world decides that USA is being more of a pain than helpful, and decides to do something about it? Look at what happened to every other major force that decides to spread out and try to control large portions of the planet.. In the past, such empires crumbled from within, or got taken out by barbarians of all things. In recent history.. the world banded together to crush that sort of thing. USA is no longer "the big superpower", they should start acting like they share the planet before the planet decides that it has had enough. Imagine what would happen if the rest of the world put economic sanctions on usa, for instance. Refused to trade, sell you anything, or buy anything from you. How much of our western crap is made elsewhere? Most of it. Our fuel.. mostly imported. Why would americans let their gov put them in such a situation? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 430584 Canada 01/04/2009 01:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The problem is some of you are too busy being partisans of one side or the other, which is essentially a product of pre-human instinctual behaviorisms (the same that had us working as tribes, to put it in general terms). All I know is that humans are killing humans for reasons that are outright retarded. In fact such religious-defined conflicts are beyond retarded. Everyone responsible, everyone who supports such things.. they should all be institutionalized. |
