Seriously? Israel threatens to strike Iran nearly every week, and they've been running around the world trying to keep and tighten crippling economic sanctions. Who's not recohnizing who's right to exist?

no matter where, not intervening in a sectarian war -- particularly when the "side" we're on is more closely related to those who've done us harm -- is surely short of it. heck even saudi's ally pakistan wants no part of it Pakistan MPs speak out against intervention in Yemen Opposition Senator Tahir Hussain Mashadi said the "aggressors" were the Saudis and the victims were the Yemenis. "Now the aggressors are asking another sovereign state, Pakistan, to come to provide military aid to Saudi Arabia." http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/08/us-yemen-security-pakistan-iran-idUSKBN0MZ08D20150408 -
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being escorted out of the white house after another bizarre attempt to undermine the Iran nuclear agreement

Of course they all do, Ever hear of sarah Palin? Re:Hillary, I think: - no woman, they already have the female vote and won't want to alienate men who they will need - no minority, at least purely... they'll already have liberal vote - not a foreign policy expert like former sec of state, that's supposedly Hilary's strength So I think it will be a) white male, b) some kind of angle on economic policy, and c) maybe centrist Lastly and here's where it gets tricky, it will need to be some one who she looks presidential next to. That may eliminate someone whose experienced and also someone whose tall as Hillary is only about 5'6". If not for appearing too left a ticket, I'd think former labour secretary under bill Clinton Robert Reich would be a consideration
-
Would they go all female ticket? Or male but a minority like Hispanic? Experienced white guy lightweight like biden? Normally you can guess its someone who will bolster the presidential candidates weakness or where he/she scores low on....I.e. Obama it was experience. But since Hillary bills herself as having no weaknesses its a tough call.

Anyone want to see a well reasoned view from Israel as opposed to the hysterical nonsense of a fear mongering kook like netanyahu, read this: Obama was right, Iran capitulated Netanyahu should accept the American offer of dialogue on the draft agreement reached in Lausanne, instead of signalling his intent to scupper it out of hand.

Actually I thought it was a little over the top when I read the headline. But then I considered the alternatives: - bolt? Ok hes the world's fastest man but how versatile is he? Can he do anything but run fast in a straight line? Btw beckham and some other NFL players have world class speed - lebron? He's amazing on the court, and therea speculation given his size and speed be could play football too. But I've never seen him run football drills. And until I actually see him (or anyone ) perform in as rough a sport as NFL football I am not giving them benefit of the doubt. Beckham oth I do believe when he says he could have played pro soccer. And he is now on film peforming an nba-caliber dunk Who else is there?

Destablize a country, destroy the infrastructure , let the extremist thugs run wild doing your sectarian dirty work (against a foe whose no threat to US). Replace them with a foe who is a threat to US, now US must come in and clean up the mess that's been made. This is what happened with Assad in Syria (no threat to US), vacuum created after country destablized by Saudi influence, ISIS gains hold, US forced to come in and act. Sadly Same thing playing out in Yemen now -

nice, saudi strikes getting their buds out of yemen jails... Sanaa, Yemen (CNN)Khaled Batarfi grinned broadly as he posed for photos in a presidential residence in southern Yemen. Photos circulated on social media purported to be of the senior al Qaeda leader, whom Yemeni defense officials said militants had busted out of jail on Thursday. CNN cannot verify the authenticity of the images. Sunni Islamist fighters freed Batarfi with some 270 prisoners, when they overran the town of al Mukallah. ............ of course their buds happen to be our worst enemies ...... al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, controls parts of eastern Yemen. AQAP is considered one of the most ruthless branches of the terrorist organization. Beginning to sound a lot like Syria http://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/02/middleeast/yemen-prison-break/index.html -
Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao May 2nd!!

I agree he had freaky stamina, but as a tactician there are several others on his level. Btw that stamina IMO justified Floyds camp requesting the additional blood tests before. -

Everyone seems to like Manny personally, but as a fighter IMO he's been somewhat overhyped. -

truth on hold replied to truth on hold's topic in Off the Wall Archives
for all Manny's vaunted power, he hasn't knocked anyone out in over 5 years. since then he's 7&2, losing a split decision to Bradley and getting put to sleep by Marquez. I didnt see their previous fight, but I heard Marquez could have won that decision too.... the same Marquez that Floyd easily handled I am just not seeing how Floyd loses -

Sen. Michael Bennet giving up Bob Menendez PAC money By Burgess Everett Sen. Michael Bennet will give $10,000 to charity, an amount equal to campaign contributions the Colorado Democrat received from a political action committee associated with Sen. Robert Menendez several years ago, POLITICO has learned. Bennet will give the money, which was received in the 2010 election cycle, to veterans charities in Colorado. He joins Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn..) in rejecting previously received money from Menendez’s New Millennium PAC, an influential group that has given more than $2 million to Democratic congressional candidates since 2000, according to OpenSecrets. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/michael-bennet-bob-menendez-pac-money-116631.html -
Israeli expert on Iran: Claim of existential threat a fig leaf for occupation Q&A with Prof. Haggai Ram, head of Middle East Studies Department at Ben-Gurion University. "Iran serves as a fig leaf to the real danger to Israel’s fate – the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even Ehud Barak told Haaretz in an interview when he was defense minister under Netanyahu that he encouraged him to keep negotiating with the Palestinians – not for the sake of negotiations themselves but rather that in the end, if Israel decided to attack Iran, the pressure and criticism against Israel would be reduced because Israel would be seen as seeking peace. The whole Iranian issue, be it with Ariel Sharon, Barak or Benjamin Netanyahu, is meant in the end to distract attention from Israel’s central problem – the occupation and the defense budget." http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.650322?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
