Boehner Slams WH Stance On Israel

Leaving aside the fact that Israel is not a U.S. ally (no treaty), rarely acts in the best interests of the U.S., and that Obama and his administration have bent over backwards up until now to accommodate Israeli interests and avoid any disruption in the "special relationship," Rep. Boehner is 100% correct.

As always.

The GOP slavery toward the radical Christian right is making Middle East peace almost impossible. GOPers will routinely savage any attempt by a Democrat to mildly criticize Israel, so the Israelis know they just have to wait out every Democratic administration. And with everything Obama does, the GOP paints him as un-American, anti-Christian, anti-Israeli, illegitimate, etc. When one political party decides to throw aside rationality, decorum, and the common good, its very difficult to maintain a functioning democracy

Dear Sen. Boehner. Gen. Petraeus says that Israel's stance is endangering our missions elsewhere in the region, hence endangering our troops.

So that only leaves one question. Why do you hate our troops?

The Republicans openly cheering for foreigners who publicly insulted the United States and its president. Foreigners whose government, or at least one ministry, engineered a deliberate humiliation of the U.S. And, far from calling for the nuclear obliteration of that country, as they would have been doing had it been Dick Cheney who's been thus treated, they're cheering and supporting them.

Great Americans all, those Republicans. Time to revise that old jingoistic toast.

"My country. In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be right, but my country right or wrong. Unless the foreign nation is Israel or the president is a colored boy and a Democrat."

You gotta love those Republicans. Up is down, black is white.
I'm sorry, Boner, but tell me again why Israel such a great ally? We give them billions a year in cash and weapons, we give them cover in the Security Council whenever they decide to steal more land, or fuck up one of their neighbors; Our foreign policy in that region, for the last few decades at least, has been one long attempt to patch together the "peace process" they have no interest in pursuing, etc. What do we get out of this deal? Public insults. Headaches out the ass. Lectures from scum like Boner here, who'd cheerfully see every Jew on the planet dead if he thought there was a chance of seeing Jesus sooner.

I don't get it. Friends are supposed to help each other, but I'm not seeing a lot of help here. Maybe we should cut them off for a few years, let them deal with their neighbors on equal terms. Might lead to a badly needed attitude adjustment.

Dear Mr Boehner on June 8th 1967 the USS Liberty was
attacked by Israli warplanes, 12 Americans died in the
air attack, the ship was then torpedoed, additionally
22 Americans were murdered, the President of the United
States and the Secretary of Defense did not send help to
defend the Liberty, they did not want to embarrass an ally.
43 years later we have people like you that don't want
to embarrass our ally. God bless the crew of the Liberty,
did you ever wonder why LBJ did not run for reelection.
This Ally laughs at the United States, and you defend them.
Remember John you don't speak for the United States, you
speak for the people of Ohio. They elected you, we Did Not..

Boner's statement = Felcher's Fealty
