Starcom826 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 yup....and YOU are COMPLETELY missing the point And indeed you have as well. The article in no way suggests that Isreal has the US by the balls. Just that lobbyists exists. Is that really so stunning to you that it equates to "having us by the balls?"

valhalla_rk Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 The senator said what he said, he asked to clarify what he said and was criticized to throw a reckless statement, nobody shut his mouth up. furthermore, his spokesman said that he was consistent with his past quotes of how the palestinians suffer from the Hamas government which actively setting up terrorists, etc. how does it imply that israel is helding US in the balls...

zeroday Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 deeply troubling I fail to see how a comment about sympathy with the Palestinaians is troubling. He isn't the first to make such statements, and he certainly won't be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toology Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 yup....and YOU are COMPLETELY missing the point And what is the point, according to you? The Democrat from Iowa was probably unaware that Obama was referencing the Hamas government as reponsible for the suffering of the Palestinian people. All he asked for was clarification over Obama's statement--not for him to excuse himself or recant. How is questioning what a mere senator says having the entire American government "by the balls?" It's time for a little self-reflection here, rana. There is a certain government that CdCViRus mentioned that is America's lapdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
