I want to believe this but until Obama steps up to the plate he is a Tel Aviv lackey like every president since Kennedy
i feel you, and i kinda agree. at the same time...that flight ban. that was right after kerry said he wasn't able to secure the siezefire. obama has been saying shyt along the lines of "israel has the right to defend itself, but this shyt needs to stop because it's hard for me to defend. i'm feeling lonely and used sticking up for israel"
""I hope they don't think that's an invitation to go do more," Kerry said. "That better be the warning to them."
A frustrated Kerry went on to say, "It's a hell of a pinpoint operation, it's a hell of a pinpoint operation," in what Ma'an described as apparent frustration over the civilian toll in the Israeli operation.
"We've got to get over there," Kerry said. "I think, Jon, we ought to go tonight. I think it's crazy to be sitting around. Let's go."
shortly therafter kerry was in cairo attempting to secure the siezefire. that day a shytty hamas rocket had landed about a mile from ben guoron (sp?) airport in israel. I strongly believe the flight cancelations were also obama flexing on israel, because soon nethanyahu was calling obama and begging him to lift the restriction..
now the news is a ceasefire will ocur within the next few days, whereas before the tune from israel was "this is going to be the op to end all ops. it's going to be a drawn out ground invasion"
