1. The House saga is an story which doesn't matter much to me......

However, this matters.


Homage to Herzliya
The Lobby wants war with Iran


"US presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney, John Edwards and John McCain, along with Newt Gingrich, were in Israel, seemingly competing to see who can be most strident in defense of the Jewish state during personal or video appearances at the conference here, just north of Tel Aviv.

"The four politicians called for ways to prevent Iran's government from acquiring nuclear weapons. While stressing the strong US-Israel ties, the presidential hopefuls all agreed that the US has to ratchet up sanctions on Iran and leave the possibility of a military attack ‘on the table'."

Romney may have won the hyperbole contest, but the big surprise was Edwards, who came in second with his declaration that preventing Iran from getting nukes is "is the greatest challenge of our generation." On the same day he ran an ad in Roll Call calling on Congress to oppose the "surge" in Iraq, he was telling the Herzliya conference that "All options are on the table to ensure that Iran will never get a nuclear weapon."

"At a time when most Democrats in the United States are calling for less military involvement abroad," notes the Jersusalem Post, "Edwards, of South Carolina, told the Seventh Annual Herzliya Conference on Monday that his country must do everything that it can to stop Iran from possessing nuclear weapons."

When John Edwards, who poses as a peace candidate, declares that we will go to war with Iran before we'll let them break Israel's nuclear monopoly in the Middle East, that should tell us something about how the power of the Lobby has distorted our foreign policy and deformed the American political process. In paying homage to Herzliya, Edwards and his fellow candidates are betraying and subverting American interests.

5. Thanks. I was looking for this. This really makes me reconsider
supporting him. Now the only person I have is Al Gore and he's not even running!

2. And one of his "policies" is support for an attack against Iran,
as shown by his speech this week in Israel where he said that we would attack Iran if necessary to protect Israel, and received a standing ovation. Fuck that and fuck him, the warmongering POS.

3. The house non-issue is a distraction from his Iran war mongering scandal
I thought Edwards was anti-war. Now, he's lost my potential support.

4. Thank you. A Distraction for real......
Makes one sympathize with Sen. Edwards.....

But understanding that John Edwards didn't learn what he could have after his 3 years late apology on Iraq really does need to be examine.

The house is a non issue for me.
Iraq and Iran affect all of us.

7. No, not in the primaries.....
But was Hillary saying she was sorry, attempted to claim the anti-war mantel and then make a speech glorifying Sharom? Lemme know.

9. No, it isn't.....
It's just the way it is working out.

Did you want to comment on Edwards kind words about Sharom and Edwards' invitation for Israel to join NATO.....

Or do you want to make 1 word post amounting to nothing? :eyes:
