.. because we know if a potential war over nuclear weapons breaks out, we need two men in office who are more than prepared to handle such a crisis. Romney and Ryan are more than ready to handle that type of war in the Middle East.

The possibility is completely not credible.

Israel would never try to get the US to act in its best interest...

on this we agree. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already and likely it is our president moving behind the scenes to keep the peace.

Foreign policy is definitely one of President Obama's many strengths.

Now if Iran retaliates with a nuke, that'd be a surprise to someone.

I don't think most Americans want to get into another Middle East war. I do think most Romney supporters would, however.

The truth is the Obama administration has given more foreign aid to Israel than any other past administration.

I don't agree with it but it is what it is. Behind closed doors the powers that be in Israel love President Obama
