And Obama claims the first place he ever reads about administration scandals (like the IRS email deletions) is in the NYT so the DoS is just following standard administration procedures.
Hong Kong is in Brazil according to CNN.

Why the hell would Israel tell Obama anything? He is their enemy. Duhhhhhhhh!
Israel would be crazy to give any timely information to the current US State Department. Any and all information of strategic importance would likely be “leaked” to Iran. When Israel takes out Iran’s Nuclear capacity, they will likely have to feed the US bad or deceptive information prior to execution. How many times has the US “leaked” Israeli strike plans so far? Three? Four?
American “foreign policy” (yup, scare quotes) has become a laughing stock. And how many of those lefties who criticized George Bush for going into Iraq with UN authority are going to criticize Obama for bombing the joint without UN approval?
If I was in Bibi’s place, I wouldn’t tell Washington the time of day.
It HAS sunk in, message received. Israel knows that THIS current American administration won’t be any more “help” (either because of incompetence or because of duplicity or both), so they’ve resolved to handle things on their own, seeing as they are already doing that anyway, as this story demonstrates.
And since many UN member states regularly bash Israel, their opinion of the matter regarding when/if Israel does what may be ultimately necessary to ensure their survival won’t mean jack shit.
And still, his bovine followers don’t get it. They insist he is unaware, the Teflon Don-in-Chief, and therefore blameless.
Nope.
If that is the case, he is clueless.
Whether malice or stupidity, it still doesn’t look good for Obama.
I hate to say it, but I can’t wait for ISIS to hit America .. maybe then the herd will wake up and understand that we are all Jews to the Morloc of the middle east and start to take them seriously.
“They insist he is unaware, the Teflon Don-in-Chief, and therefore blameless.”
I first read that as “and therefore brainless.”
Bottom line, it’s his job to not only know these things but to lead in problem solving.
His ‘followers’ must think the ‘administration’ is racist, what with keeping him out of the loop,
or is it out on the links.
I’m never sure.
I have faith in you all!
Well, this is the Twit(ter) administration
Eventually Obama and his clueless followers will leave. The next administration will attempt to recover America’s credibility; or we will watch the much of the world dissolve into petty regional squabbles and wars. And more nations like Libya, Congo, and Iraq melt down into tribal bloodbaths.
We can regain our stature in the world. It will require blood and treasure. Or we can watch the world degrade and spend even more blood and treasure.
Maybe it’s time to realize we can’t be friends with those who hate us for who we are and how we live. It’s time to realize we cannot be the Boy Scouts of the world and let them all have at each other, fight their own battles, wipe each other out,whatever, it is foreign to our way of life.
We can’t be missionaries in places that revert back to their old ways as soon as we leave. Afghanistan, Iraq are examples of futility. We need to isolate them, keep them away from our Western democracies, we already have too many here who brought their baggage filled with hate, we have them fighting their battles in our streets, brazenly calling our traditional allies and fellow countrymen “Nazis”. The sooner our governments learn these wretched specimens of humanity are not our friends, would never stand up for our country and its values, the better off we’ll all be.
What we should be concentrating on here in Canada is ensuring Trudeau The Second never gets his stupid arse into the Office of Prime Minister. If this happens we’re in for more than a rude awakening, we’ll be infiltrated with the worst the world has to offer.
Wake up Canada before it’s too late.
The Obama administration did not know that the ceasefire plan proposed by Egypt three weeks earlier took effect?
That’s because the rest of the world has stopped consulting with the US and is satisfied with laughing at the blustering morons of the US political class.
Anybody who still believes politicians are smarter than they are deserve what they end up with.
Brainless still works.
The point is everyone wants him to be untouchable.
He is so covered in his own mess that the US will take decades to recover.
An unmitigated disaster.
Fitting he and arafat were given matching NPP’s.
Their leadership records will match as well.
