Subscribe to RSSGov. Rick Perry will hold an open press media event with Israeli and American leaders tomorrow morning in New York City pegged to United Nations negotiations around Palestinian statehood, NBC News confirms. The Jerusalem Post first reported the news.
Perry, a fierce critic of the Obama administration's policy toward Israel, wrote in a Friday Wall Street Journal op-ed that the United States should use its veto to nix the United Nation's recognition of a Palestinian state.
"The U.S. should oppose the statehood measure by using our veto in the Security Council, as President Obama has pledged to do, and by doing everything we can to weaken support for the unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood in the General Assembly," he wrote. "The U.S. must affirm that the precondition for any properly negotiated future settlement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority is the formal recognition of the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state behind secure borders."
In the same piece, Perry wrote that the administration was wrong to call for an Israeli freeze on settlement construction as a condition for talks between the two groups.
"Errors by the Obama administration have encouraged the Palestinians to take backward steps away from peace," he wrote.
The event is scheduled for 10:00 am ET at the W Hotel in Union Square in New York.

Does Slick Ricky even know where Israel is located?
I remember vividly the last idiot Governor from TX and him being geographically challenged!
Does he truly believe anyone who calls for secession knows what the hell he's talking about when it comes to foreign policy?
Shoot em up there Little Ricky!
YIPPPKYAAAA!
I just posted this in another thread... but it's too good to let go that easily...
Perry believes that Israel is located somewhere between Virginia and Main, close to NY-9.
And I replied to you on another thread...
So says the legend in her own mind!
Quit dragging your ass across the carpet will ya?
It's bad enough you stink up one thread!
What, the Palestinians trusted Obama? They just haven't been paying any attention to how this guy operates, now have they?
"Quit dragging your ass across the carpet will ya?"
Too funny, but look at what such a comment attracted, just below yours.....
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
And I replied to you on another thread...
There's that BIG CLOWN NOSE AGAIN!
LOL! What gives?
More skid marks - someone needs to open a window and air the place out!
If First Readers are correct about what happened in NY-9...
They shouldn't spend a whole lot of time worrying about what Perry thinks.
They ought to worry about President Obama's support for Israel.
If they're right...that's what the voters in NY-9 were thinking about.
I disagree...
NY-9 was about a lot more than Israel and the Palestinians.
Directing affairs for sure will be Ed Koch.
"They ought to worry about President Obama's support for Israel."
Screw that chicken feed. It's the JOBS, remember? And we are about to see who really wants to try to create some, and who really just wants to make some politician loose the next election.
lol, dbo-
You didn't read the last sentence:
"NY-9 was about a lot more than Israel and the Palestinians."
Make my argument for me, and then...maybe I'll go away.
NAH!
I love First Read!
This is complete BS politics, which is all the GOP/TP is ever good at:
If Perry had any foreign policy experience, he would know the real challenge is for the US to contain the fall-out in general. President Obama has made much more effort at Middle East peace than Dubya ever did (or Perry ever could--Yikes).
Once again people, there's nothing to see here. It's just the usual nontroversy by a Teapublican candidate trying to get press by pretending to have foreign policy experience. Move along...
Hi Dennis,
How are you doing? BTW, wasn't it Obama, while campaigning for President a few years ago that said "I've campaigned in all 57 states" (or words to that effect). I am sure President Obama would love nothing more than to allow Palestinian state hood but knows it would harm him during the next election.
I didn't realize that Feisty was anti-Israel, and therefore pro-terrorism.
You learn something new every day!
Obama makes a lot of gaffes. He called a respirator an "inhalator".
The difference is, when liberals put their foot in their mouths, the liberal press downplays it, and the liberal toadies ignore it.
Remember Cindy Sheehan? She was all over GWB for sending troops into Iraq and Afghanistan. She was whining, pissing and moaning to anyone who would listen (and the media gave her all the airtime she wanted).
Now that Obama's POTUS (and doing the same thing) all is OK.
It's called a "double standard".
Scary Perry. I get this Dr. Strangelove vision of Major Kong riding the bomb. YIPPPKYAAAA! (Good-un Feisty).
Steven B -- Cindy Sheehan was right, especially about the Iraq war. Where have ya been?
AGAIN
@TYLER
Why is Feisty allowed to post if SHE HAS BEEN BANNED FOR A DAY?
I think the readers here deserve to know why some get special treatment and others, not. LIke all the people banned today for comments that were no where near the level of vitriol of hate spewed from the reigning champ?
Inquiring minds.....
As long as they are getting our 20 billion a year i think he is doing Israel just right!
I can see Perry supporting all that Israel does. Hell, if Mexicans started buidling settlements in West Texas, he'd think that was ok.
Prob'ly let 'em go to school at a reduced rate and everything.
Hey Perry, Obama is the best friend Israel has right now.
This is an interesting article which was posted over @ Think Progress this morning.
Changes have to be made. BY ISRAEL.
Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni, during a Knesset debate ahead of the Palestinian statehood bid at the UN, characterized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition as engaging in “diplomatic stupidity” and warned that government’s position is putting “the United States into a corner.” She placed blame for the current predicament at Netanyahu’s feet, observing:
The United States is making sure it won’t be singled out but how are we helping ourselves? We now need to initiate the political process. (Prime Minster Benjamin) Netanyahu tried to prevent this and now the Palestinians are at the United Nations.
Livni emphasized the importance of Israel’s friendship with the U.S., especially in light of the growing regional isolation faced by the Jewish state. She warned:
Next to all these enemies Israel has friends, and at the top of that list is United States, who is willing to guarantee Israel’s security. They don’t understand Israel’s policy, they don’t understand why the stubbornness over settlements, they don’t believe the prime minister of Israel when he says ‘two states’ but doesn’t do anything about it. And this saddens me because I am a citizen of the state.
While blasting Netanyahu’s policies and his intransigence in the peace process, she urged him to reverse course and save an increasingly untenable Israeli position. She said:
It is not yet too late to stop the process. It demands understanding of what happens when there is no process, and it also demands bravery to make a decision. I am skeptic, but perhaps this week you will succeed in rising above this terrible coalition.
Her comments, which roundly denounced Netanyahu’s failure to freeze settlement expansion or enter into good-faith negotiations with Palestinian negotiators, challenged the Likud party led government’s “story it is selling regarding the current reality” facing Israel in the Middle East. She said:
The first part [of the story] says everything is alright. The second part says that everyone is against us: (Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas) Abu Mazen joined forces with Hamas, (Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip) Erdogan is an Islamist and in Egypt it is impossible to know what will happen, everyone is anti-Semitic and all that’s left [for Israel] to do is to wait and see what will happen. Israel is indeed correct, but the government is mistaken.
Abbas has made clear his intentions to seek a recognition of a Palestinian state, and the Obama administration has all but guaranteed a U.S. veto of the resolution.
But Livni’s remarks give voice to a segment of the Israeli political and security establishment who have run out of patience with Netanyahu’s hard-line policies and lack of progress in the all-but completely stalled peace process.
NY-9 disagrees.
Do you think Florida next year will be like NY-9 was this year?
It's nice that the Obama administration has an outlet where their talking points will be printed without any relationship to reality.
Jews are very protective over two things - Israel and their money. They will forgive a lot, but not so much when those two things are attacked.
Obama is friend to neither.
But NY-9 was just about a man and his Weiner. I know this cause I get my news from First Read.
Oh and JAS1 - don't forget about the best-est website out there right now: Attack Watch.
Hard at work shooting the messenger again, JoAnna?
Never mind that ThinkProgress has cites and sources and often even audio and video clips.
Of course, you're used to Fox, where information is routinely "processed" and fabricated...
Spanky as a reform Jew..You might want to read the Jerusalem Post from time to time or read and watch Al Jazeera to get a handle on what is going on in the middle east.
Whooa. I stand corrected. Audio and video clips you say? Wow. That AlGore, he sure knew what he was doing when he invented the internet.
So, Fox, is no good for you (They have audio and video clips too I image, along with sources and cites too!), but TP is gospel?
"Fabricated" - Too funny.
I got a Tea Party friend that told me he watches porno movies backwards, he says he gets off watching the hooker give the money back!
They sure do - some even show palm trees in Wisconsin & crowds photo-shopped into 10 year old photos!
It's their idea of fair & balanced!
It's a cinch FR has an app that reports certain posters comments from here directly to AW.
A few more comments and I imagine we'll all get a visit from homeland security and an Obama 2012 sticker.
I think it was the Jerusalem Post that had Obama's approval rating in Israel at 4%.....
That's probably where his US approval rating will be by election time!
Jas1 - I would love to get a visit from Big Sis - especially to my place in Az.
Torpedo - what in the heck is a "reform jew?"
And I don't think I need to watch or read al Jazeranything to know what's up in the world's crap hole, the middle east.
But I do see how fantastically well the whole 'Arab Spring' is going. :(
@ Torpedo You like this article in the Jerusalem Post showing how Obama is losing support?
http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=238623
[That AlGore, he sure knew what he was doing when he invented the internet.]
Oh, Smiffs...you are a hoot...you're also a liar, but a hoot of a liar, nonetheless...
I don't know who's going to achieve Supreme Mediocrity first...you or Spanky...but it'll sure be fun to watch!
Arab Spring - from bad to worse.... The only people in the world that have a revolution to go backwards.
Think Progress - I love it when they tear up Obama for not being liberal enough. That goes to show you just how liberal they really are. There is no middle ground at all with these people. It's their way or the highway. No matter how stupid the ideas are, or if things are presented without thinking them through to the end. Feel good, emotional and mostly stupid.
Forrest - OK, I'll give you a 7 on the richter scale for that one.
Obama's biggest problem?
His out of control ego.
By this point in his presidency, unemployment was to have been six percent(due, entirely, to his stimulous plan, doncha know), and he was to take New York in a flow of other wordily magnificence- as he announced that he, the One, had brokered a peace, and a new Palestinian homeland was to be accepted by the U.N. As a member state.
Unfortunately, his delusions of grandeur far outstrip his abilities to choose a pair of jeans that dint make him look like a dork.
Our economy cannot get much worse if we are to survive as a country, his total mishandling, (or lack of handling) of food shortages in the Middle East and North Africa have cost us-and Israel- our strongest allies, and Israel is threatened like never before.
Great job there, Obama. You could not have done worse if you actively tried.
Looking at all this destruction, I have to wonder-do liberals REALLY live in the land of plaid skies?
Can Perry really promise secure borders for the people in Israel, he sure can't promise secure borders for the people of Texas.
And the responsibility for keeping secure borders falls to Texas now?
Huh, cause they are trying to secure them in Az and other places, but keep getting sued by you know who.
You know who has secured borders?
Israel. You just don't mess with Israel. They are not pussified wussys like us. Cause if they were, even for a second, they'd all be dead.
Yes, sir, arifat.
Is it the governors job to see that they are not given employment, by "businessmen" in his state.
You're right.
But, when Arizona and Georgia get sued by Eric Holder for simply wanting to enforce immigration law, it's very difficult to secure the borders.
If we object to the Republicans holding us hostage, how must we feel if emissaries from a foreign government try to influence our politics? The next election is about what is best for the citizens of this country. Anyone who tries to change US policy by holding the President hostage is just as repugnant to me as the tea party. If we keep this up we will be Balkanized and incapable of governing ourselves. Let's leave foreign policy to the people who know best. My biggest concerns are the future of my children and grandchildren. Perry is the last person I would listen to on foreign policy. Why doesn't he use viable US economic concerns rather than foreign ones? We have always supported Israel, and the President has stated as much in all of his speeches, but he is tasked with doing what is best for the United States of America.
If the border was secure they would not get in, and then the other problems don't exist. If we clamped down on the people who hired illegals, they would have less desire to sneak in.
why not,hell obama promised a list of things that turned out to be vote getting lies.
So those posting above disagree with this?:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The U.S. must affirm that the precondition for any properly negotiated future settlement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority is the formal recognition of the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state behind secure borders."
----------------------------------------------------------
Who here opposes that statement? Anyone? Does it matter WHO said it?
Well Dangerfield, and it pains me to say this, but I personally think it sounds silly coming from any American politician, because our borders are anything but secure. Lines on a map and secure borders are two completely different things.
Dangerfield...You are assuming that conservatives can comprehend. Remember, "reading is fundamental." And Forest..Just how would conservatives secure our border. And more importantly, how would they PAY for it?
No, dangerfield, it does not matter who said it-
What matters is, the words must be meant, stood by, and non-negotiable.
I said that- and I mean it.
There you go, dangerfield.
Other than you, only a couple of conservatives will admit to agreeing with that quote.
I'm not a big Perry fan on most issues, but:
How is that possible?
I don't know, MB. I suppose that there are those conservatives who need to know the source before they will agree that water is wet, if said by someone with whom they disagree on other issues.
But, why just call out conservatives? I did not see many liberals jumping to agree.
I would have agreed with those words were they said by Obama- yeah, I know, it's a stretch, because he never would have said them- but my values are my values, and I welcome those who share them.
Stated convictions on taxes, the economy, and foreign policy are necessary for those evaluating a candidate for high office- 2008 notwithstanding. In fact, even more important to a lot of people who voted their "feeling" that change was, always, good, and particularly, when it made them feel "hopeful",
A lot of people will not be making that same mistake...
no joe-
df isn't a conservative...he's a left-leaning independent or a moderate Democrat.
My point was that only a couple of conservatives posted support for dangerfield's restating of Perry's defense of Israel's right to exist...a pretty reasonable, mainstream position, in my opinion.
Clearly, it's not necessarily considered a mainstream view here at First Read.
MB - I KNOW dangerfield is no conservative. He's a libertarian leaning independent who votes democratic- well, I don't know about next year. Not the point.
I just questioned your only calling out conservatives- in my own defense, when I saw the comment, I responded. ( had a princess visit. Better things to do, and all that).
On the other hand, I have been noticing creeping anti-Semitism in the ranks of the left for some time. I find it frightening.
See Pat above- who seems totally unaware that much of the Palestinian lands were taken, not by Israel, but by Jordan.
Perhaps that country needs a seat at the negotiating table.
Feisty, the last Texan we had in office didn't know the difference between a shi'a and a sunni before invading that country and setting off a civil war. Rick Perry appears to be a a few I.Q. points shy of GWB - think of the trouble Perry could get us into!
PS Apologies to Texans. It's just, Perry is TOO much like Bush.
Amy - what's Obama's IQ? Specifically what's his "business" IQ?
Oh and sadly I used to think Obama was too much like Carter. now it's gotten far worse than that.
Amy, you ready for some good old fashion inflation? Should be fun right?
Well at least interest rates will go up. A lot. Which is great for the interest income.
Spanky,
Oh I get it, I say something unflattering about the Texan who drove up the federal deficit waging two wars while cutting taxes, and compare him to the Texan running for President who appears to be his carbon copy, including not "believing" in gobal warming and criticizing government spending while spending government money...
and you criticize the guy who saved the American Automobile company and confronted health insurance companies who were dropping sick people from their rolls?
You're right, we really cancel each other out.
Spanky you are a riot, IQ is not based on a single subject like business, or picking your nose. Your an attorney, do you have different lawyers in your office who specialize in different areas of the law, many firms to that, why do you think they do that. How many CEO's today know how to hands on do the jobs of their employees. Does that make them stupid or loosers. CEO's have more authority than the President. Don't do what they want and they fire you. The President can not do that now can he. As for having two from Texas, no thank you have had enough of the good ol boy crap. Amy has it right GWB was our first attempt at the common guy in office, Perry would be our first attempt at the intellectually and morally challanged guy in office oops no GWB had that too, I guess he could multi task after all.
Part of the IQ test is using the right word in sentences. Another part is using a word that's a word.
Can they print money?
Apparently not in Geithner's case.
Amy - of course we cancel each other out.
But Amy has not Obama [the smartest man in the room] also waged
twothree wars, cut taxes, cut carbon regulations, and criticized spending while setting records doing it?So Amy, just who is the carbon copy in this little triangle of fun?
We'll leave the auto industry discussion for another time. Cause time ain't on GM or Chrysler's side.
Tis - you need a tad more historical perspective. Bush the first common man in office? I pray you are joking.
[also in that context it's you're, as in you are, not the possessive form].
Amy,
I live in Texas and the worst thing for this country is for Perry to get elected. I thought GWB was slow, Perry make GWB look like a member of Mensa.
I give you a lot of credit, Spanky. Your tolerance for imbeciles is a lot higher than mine.
I have a crush on Amy.
Just don't tell Bev.
Obama is so terribly intelligent according to the left wing toadies.
Below are some of Obama's 'brilliant' statements:
1. How many states? Vice President Dan Quayle was virtually laughed out of Washington for misspelling potato back in 1992, yet Barack Obama made a more elementary flub when, during the 2008 campaign, he said: “I've now been in 57 states—I think one left to go.''
2. Hero soldier mix-up: While commending troops at Fort Drum, N.Y., for their completed deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Obama said, “A comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn't receiving it posthumously." Wrong hero. Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was killed in action, another soldier, Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta, was the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor that fought in Afghanistan.
3. What year is it? During a trip to London’s Westminster Abbey, President Obama signed the guest book and dated it 24 May 2008. Oops. It was 2011. (Maybe he was wistfully dreaming about his 2008 election campaign at the time.)
4. Look at the map: Not only does Obama not know how many states there are, he also doesn’t know where they are. During the 2008 primary campaign, he explained why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” Obama’s home state of Illinois, and not Arkansas, shares a border with Kentucky.
5. What language is that? In April 2009, on one of his many foreign trips, President Obama mused, “I don’t know what the term is in Austrian” for “wheeling and dealing.” Oops, Mr. President. There is no Austrian language.
6. Twister casualties: After a devastating tornado hit Kansas, Obama discussed the tragedy without help from a teleprompter, saying, ''In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died—an entire town destroyed.'' He was only off by 9,988 as the twister killed 12 people.
7. How old is Malia? The President last month thought he was so clever, unfavorably comparing Republican procrastination on the debt limit to his daughters finishing their homework early. In his remarks, Obama made a reference to daughter Malia, saying she was 13 years old, when at the time she was 12. Imagine the press reaction if Michele Bachmann made a misstatement about any of her five children or 23 foster kids.
8. Special Olympics insensitivity: The President called and apologized to the head of the Special Olympics, after making this insensitive comment following a game of bowling: “No, no. I have been practicing. ... I bowled a 129. It's like—it was like Special Olympics, or something.'' Maybe he should have also apologized to bowlers for his feeble effort.
9. Faith confusion: No wonder so many Americans are unsure of the President’s faith, as he seems to be confused himself. During the 2008 campaign, during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Obama said, “What I was suggesting—you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith,” before Stephanopoulos jumped in to help, saying ''your Christian faith.”
10. Health care inefficiencies: During the health care debate, President Obama explained all the benefits of ObamaCare, saying, “The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.” Mr. President, we already have enough inefficiency in health care and, yes, your “reforms” will only make it worse.

Barack Obama does not like Jewish people
Right Rob, and he eats babies too, or so prominent republicans claim.
Rob insane, How the hell would you know what he does or does not like, are you a personal friend, have you known him for 20 years or something. What a jackass statement to make, just show us your stupidity dare you.
Well, Obama and family sat for TWENTY YEARS in the 'church' of Jeremiah Wright.....and can't recall any of his preachings....
That was another 'gimmee a gift' from the Press/liberals to Obama.
obama was groomed by people like bill ayers rev wright, high posted union leaders, if he cant remember the preachings of an american hater after twenty years then I now know where that crack he smoeked went.wright between his ears and its still there.
If Israel wants us to protect them let them send us a check every month for that protection. The collateral damage received by unconditionally backing Israel is severe, it is one of the main reasons everyone in the Middle East wishes we were all dead and why we have to spend trillions trying to stop them. How the hell did the U.S.A. get signed up to babysit Israel anyway, I must have missed that amendment to the Constitution. It is sickening how our government can always beg, borrow, or steal whatever it takes to bailout some one else’s a$$ but when it comes to helping out the American worker trying to make a living they can't come up with a damn dime. I bet Israel doesn’t come to the beltways rescue when people finally get pissed off enough to burn them out.
The MAIN reason they wish were all dead is because we're apostates.
I am surprised Obama wants to come back here to NY so soon after Michelle said "all this for a flag" while shaking her head during the 9/11 Memorial ceremonies. There are many N.Y.ers who took offense, as I am hearing. I wonder what she meant? Around here, we all lost people we knew on 9/11.
Perry, a fierce critic of the Obama administration's policy toward Israel, wrote in a Friday Wall Street Journal op-ed that the United States should use its veto to nix the United Nation's recognition of a Palestinian state.
"The U.S. should oppose the statehood measure by using our veto in the Security Council, as President Obama has pledged to do, and by doing everything we can to weaken support for the unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood in the General Assembly," he wrote.
So the governor is angry that Obama is going to do exactly what he says Obama should do and what Obama has planned to do all along.
You know I understand that there is a point in opposing something on political grounds just out of spite but on this Perry is angry that he agrees with Obama? I don't understand?
On the other hand it will be an interesting development, the US will be denying a level of freedom to an oppressed people. Easy to rationalize on our part because the US believes that a peace settlement must be formed by an agreement between the two parties and not by a multilateral agreement in the UN. I tend to agree with his thinking, the UN mandate or declaration will not bring the two sides together, it seems a way for some members of the PA to antagonize Israel.
Whatever the case, this is a huge deal for US foreign policy. All the exubarance and hope of the Arab spring and contempt the Arab street had against their dictator leaders will be placed back on the US. I believe that the peace process must be forged by two willing partners. Talks have to agree to an easing of Israeli settlements and a recognition of Israel's rights to exist. Border talks and all the particulars can't proceed until terrorists like Hamas stop their attacks. I don't see the sides there yet. I don't have any answers merely commenting.
No one knows what the repercussions of the "Arab Spring" will be.
Turkey is turning against the West. Libya was easy, and Assad in Syria has killed more Muslims than Ghaddafi.
Most of the turmoil can be blamed on Obama; he's a weak leader, and he has not helped anything in international policy.
That's what happens when a "community organizer" is put into a job he cannot perform.
Advice for the left: Run Hillary in 2012, at least you'll have a chance.
.
Perry: C- student, pays off big contributors with government favors, panders to evangelicals as being "born again" so that he is no longer accountable for his bungling, replaced high paying jobs in Texas with minimum wage jobs. Is this what the Republican Party is about? Truly a disaster in the making!
People from the failing states (California, etc) are rushing to TX in droves.
Guess that they're all just stupid, huh?
How many 'blue states' lost seats in the House?
How many 'red states' gained seats?
You dont actually think all these leftwing loons are going to understand .they definately do not get the message that obama is done.mabe we will be able to star drilling for our own oil and we want be spendinding 5 hundred million dollars of tax payers money own bad investment green job plants which we all know was setup by the obama campaign,he was told this comp. would be bankrupt by sept.and guess what.This idiot is on so many clips in the past telling us you do not raise taxes in an resession and oh how he cries about nobody in the house loves him,you need to ck. your senate chronies obum they dont want it niether.But dont worry loones ,none of your biast news channel will show the lies and the fraudulant campaign donations you recieved from the five hundred million tax payer dollars that was just thrown away,even after you were told by the previous adm. that this co. should not receive any stimulis dollars.I wonder how many more lies and back door dealing,union leaders going in the whitehouse mare than a janitor does,
carlyss man, I agree that Obama has NOT kept promises and is beholding to Unions for campaign donations they give him. The biggest Obama LIES, to me, are the campaign promises ...." I will bring transparency to my administration and we will go line by line through the budget and get rid of waste ." Does transparency = Pelosi crafting Obamacare behind closed doors? Does going line by line to get rid of waste = spending $4trillion in 3 years ?
I bet more folks listen to Perry than Obama.
Phenomenom known as "tired of the mouth".
Tell me what Perry plan is for Jobs again?? Oh thats right keep funding wars Ron Paul 2012
I'm surprised Perry knows where Israel is, much less the Middle East..
obama dug his own hole with israel,as far as illegal imm. they are collecting tax refunds for thier children and getting away with murder. its a good thing perry has a lot more experience and time served we cannot afford another term of stupidity.
I think a little history on Israel would be startling for a lot of people
let me sum it up real short
STAND WITH ISRAEL and survive
STAND AGAINST ISRAEL and eventually FALL
and that folks sums up the History of the Jews , the people of Israel
with no exceptions
Can Perry even find Israel on a map?
Perry is too busy creating jobs in his state to put other countries affairs before our own. He is a governor and takes care of Texas. If Perry becomes President, if that should happen, he will put America before any foreign country. Of that you can be sure. You can't say that about Obama. The socialists in Europe liked Obama so much they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING. ( although they kind of want it back!)
Well, well... such a deep subject for shallow minds such as the candidates for the Republican nomination to be President of the United States.
George Bush said the same thing and no one peep was heard from these parrots on that ocassion - roll the tape:
It just goes to show you that ignorance and illiteracy are traits common to every Republican that wants to say something profound!
I absolutely guarantee Perry could not find Israel on a map. If Israel puts any faith in the support of Perry it would be a case of sheer Israeli ignorance....something I just do not think will happen.
Israel is going to be a heavy debate between either two Christians (Obama, Perry) or a Mormon and a Christian (Romney,Obama) wow toe to toe religion now will have a front and center platform Looking at it from a true political point of view what else could Obama have done to support Israel nothing except support the Libiyan ruler and Syrian ruler and help kill there people to avoid the Arab spring, because that's what Israel is worried about. That it's going to be surrounded by people who don't trust them at all and thus will want to bring them down. So now I put it on Israel to step up and try find common ground within there surrounding nations in order to avoid the hatred that it perceives is going to happen.
