Netanyahu And The Iranian Problem Visit The Oval Office

Obama hosts Netanyahu as Mideast strains ties

US President Barack Obama will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their first meeting on Monday as discord over Mideast peace and Iran's nuclear bid clouds ties between the close allies.

There has been a lot of background chatter over the past week and over the weekend, concerning today's meeting between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu. Most of the speculation naturally concerns the middle east peace process and both leaders proposals of peace and or a potential two state solution for Israel and Palestine to be proposed by president Obama.

There has also been the 800 pound gorilla in the room (Iran). An issue that neither of these leaders seems to want to confront each other with. Although I suspicion that Netanyahu is far more comfortable with his position and intentions concerning Iran and its nuclear ambitions than Obama is with his position.

Meanwhile, Obama's trip to Notre Dame as the commencement speaker on Sunday, literally sucked all the air out of the Netanyahu visit until today. But for those who have read past the last week of headlines concerning the Notre Dame debacle and looked deeper into the more obscured musings by reporters and pundits in the know, concerning Israel and the Iranian problem, there has been a separate story emerging on the heels of this Israeli state visit.

The bottom line IMO, is that it appears to be more a concern of Obama's that Netanyahu give him a heads up (and early warning) on any potential Israeli attack on Iran, than there are concerns ny Obama for any two state solution in Palestine that he may broker with Netanyahu and Hamas.

Personally, I don't believe that Netanyahu trusts Obama enough to provide him with Israeli confidence reports or inside intelligence Israeli information to the American president concernin Israeli intentions. Netanyahu was studying this presisdent before he won his own election six weeks ago. As he knew then what he was up against as it concerned America's new middle east policy under a socialist minded relativist president. I also believe that if anything, Netanyahu (while here)will let Obama know that the clock is running and that if Iran doesn't back down quickly, then Israel will go ahead and address the problem that they know the Americans are afraid to address.

And I believe that Barack Obama knows that too.

Israel will do what need be done, regardless what America think.; May 18, 2009 at 11:39:00 AM EST
Boise said...: I don't believe that the Israeli PM will fall for the slick talking Obama. Netanyahu (sp) is to smart for that. He won't concede anything to the American president.

Obama better get ready, because Israel is going to deal with Iran whether he likes it or not.; May 18, 2009 at 12:35:00 PM EST
Lewis said...: Watching the news conference right now, there doesn't seem to be a lot being accomplished aside for posturing.; May 18, 2009 at 1:30:00 PM EST
Debra said...: News reports this morning, are saying that pressure will be brought to bear on Netanyahu.

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
