French President Hollande, Benyamin Netanyahu and Barak Obama
Today in Toulouse, French President Francois Hollande stood side-by-side with Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu to honor the three Jewish school children and their teacher murdered by a French jihadist earlier this year. Hollande spoke at the ceremony, vowing to protect all French Jews - calling it a responsibility of the French Republic. He embraced Netanyahu and the school director, who also gave an address. Security was high as the two leaders joined to remind France, and surely the rest of Europe, that jihadists are determined to attack Jews as part of their mindless terrorist agenda. That the attacker in the Toulouse case was French and had travelled to Middle East terrorist camps for training drives home yet again that Europe faces a jihadist threat homegrown...and growing. Americans must ask -- Where is their President? Why did President Obama refuse to meet Prime Minister Netanyahu when he was in America? Why did Obama not answer Mitt Romney's debate charge that he is endangering Israel, the only unconditional friend of America in the Middle East. Why would any US President turn his back on Israel by being weakly ambivalent about the threat posed to Israel, the region and the world by Iran's nuclear and military hardware development programs? The world does not have four more years to waste with Obama's dithering ineffectiveness and incapability to state clearly whose side he is on. It is time for Americans to take a page from France - stand by Israel, support her leaders and make crystal clear to the jihadists and their hangers-on that the red line is now, that the future does not belong to the jihadists, that America has tossed off its internal hesitation - by electing Mr. Romney on November 6th.

ReplyDeletePresident Obama should learn that political relationships and friendships are valuable expressions of defense for one another at any time at any place. They tell the world that we are as one in the protection of each others freedoms.
I believe that France, England, Germany, and Israel would stand with the citizens of the United States and vise versa - but I wonder if they would ever stand with Obama - I don not think so.
"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine".
Thomas Jefferson
If we do not elect Mitt Romney with a clear cut polarity in both the popular vote and the Electoral College vote count we will certainly have a debilitating situation on our hands.
ReplyDeleteObama must not be given any "close call" election of Romney to drag this country through the courts for weeks post Nov.6th.
The fragile condition of the world both economically and politically does not need the authenticity of an newly elected president of the USA to in question, no matter the question or questioners validity. Simply posing a question would be harmful.
A Statesman action for Obama would to be a gracious and helpful in turning over the power and vacating the office with as little as possible partisanship - NONE preferably.
I vote for that!!!
