As I told you before, that is a red herring. Give me a justification for the premise of your question and I will consider answering it. But hey WC has your back.. Maybe he can come up with one for you.
Still waiting for you to provide a link to one of your imaginary friends that thinks Salt Lake City is on the West Coast.

I laugh at people that get defensive and upset when someone makes the legitimate claim that Obama is similar to Bush when it comes to foreign policy.
Has SA210 ever had an original thought?
He is quite similar, for good and bad, mostly good.
Bush's foreign policy in the last year or two of his presidency was actually fairly effective and decent. It took him about six years to pull his administration's collective head out of its ass. I would guess he finally grew a spine and started standing up to Cheney et al, and the ignorant s that seem to populate the GOP zealot wing.
Sorry but there is a doctrine named after Bush: the Bush Doctrine.

Obama doesn't act unilaterally like that.
I remember the last 8 months of his presidency thinking, "damn, if we had this guy as president for the last 7 years, I would have been largely satisfied". I chalked it up to the same reasons you did. He started doing things he thought was right instead of what Cheney, wolfowitz, et al told him to do.
lol latest UN meeting identifying palestine as state
guess the clowns who veto or went against it
i to wonder did USA made their decision independently in the best interest for themselves and the issue, or was it the zionist/israelites in american politics are voting for their agenda?...
A new little tidbit:
Charles Krauthammer: Why was there war in Gaza?
Part of the article:
What occupation? Seven years ago, in front of the world, Israel pulled out of Gaza. It dismantled every settlement, withdrew every soldier, evacuated every Jew, leaving nothing and no one behind. Except for the greenhouses in which the settlers had grown fruit and flowers for export. These were left intact to help Gaza's economy — only to be trashed when the Palestinians took over.
Israel then declared its border with Gaza to be an international frontier, meaning that it renounced any claim to the territory and considered it an independent en y. In effect, Israel had created the first Palestinian state ever, something never granted by fellow Muslims — neither the Ottoman Turks nor the Egyptians who brutally occupied Gaza for two decades before being driven out by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War.
Israel wanted nothing more than to live in peace with this independent Palestinian en y. After all, the world had incessantly demanded that Israel give up land for peace.
It gave the land. It got no peace.What did Hamas hope to gain from this latest round of fighting, which it started with a barrage of about 150 rockets into Israel? To formally translate Hamas' recent strategic gains into a new, more favorable status quo with Israel. It works like this:
Hamas' new strength comes from two sources. First, its new rocketry, especially the Fajr-5, smuggled in from Iran, that can now reach Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, putting 50 percent of Israel's population under its guns.
Second, Hamas has gained strategic strength from changes in the regional environment. It has acquired the patronage and protection of important Middle Eastern states as a result of the Arab Spring and the Islamist reversal in Turkey.
For 60 years, non-Arab Turkey had been a reliable ally of Israel. The vicious turnaround ins uted by its Islamist prime minister, Recep Erdogan, reached its apogee on Monday when he called Israel a terrorist state.
Egypt is now run by Hamas' own mother organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is simply the Palestinian wing. And the emir of Qatar recently visited Gaza, leaving behind a promise of a cool $400 million.Israel has once again succeeded in defending itself. But, yet again, only until the next round, which, as the night follows the day, will come. Hamas will see to that.
Krauthammer is such a drama queen.
Do you disagree with the facts he presents? Is he making them up?
Disagree with his conclusions or opinion all you want. What about the facts?
He presents a bunch of emotional whining as fact.
I disagree with that.
That's a huge load of .Israel wanted nothing more than to live in peace with this independent Palestinian en y
So you opinion differs. Why doesn't that surprise me?
He also acts like the land Israel "gave" them and their economy is completely within their control. It's just such a ridiculous lie whatever opinions he might have on the situation are undermined and rendered moot.
He's a shill.
Pushback: Israel withholds Palestinian revenue, approves new settlements
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government struck a $120 million blow to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority today
The financial punishment
As the custodian of Palestinian Authority tax revenues, Israel wields significant financial leverage over the PA thanks to an annex of the Oslo Accords known as the Paris Protocol.
The PA owes Israel roughly 800 million shekels ($210 million) in unpaid electricity bills and has yet to pay November salaries. It was counting on 460 million shekels ($120 million) in November tax revenues to meet payroll. But today Israel’s minister of Finance announced that rather than transfer the tax revenues to the PA, it would deduct that amount as a down payment on the PA’s overdue electricity bill.
While Israel had threatened to withhold tax revenues if the Palestinians pursued their UN bid, it also has expressed concern that the deep and chronic economic crisis in the West Bank could spark greater restlessness –

Oh, but you are at least 20 times a better shill.
Serves them right. I'll bet the defense efforts cost them far more the $120 million.
For what?
I think both sides have been disingenuous pricks.
Perhaps, but I will give the side constantly having to protect itself the benifit of doubt.
Both sides have had to do that from disingenuous pricks.
You lost me.
How is shooting rockets and mortars into Israel a protective measure?
Quelle surprise.
Yet you don't answer my question.
Par for the course.
