Why is Obama such a coward with Israel?

Why have ALL US Presidents been afraid of Israel and the Israel lobby?

And for us to give Israel weapons, including mortar shells, when this is happening is pure cowardice.

Obama to Netanyahu: U.S. will "always have Israel's back"

Obama has not spoken out enough against Israel's genocide. He's afraid of the politics of going too far, but he freely told Israel the US always have their backs covered.

That support has been Israel's license to kill and destroy anything resembling a democracy in our name.

Obama is now considering using our bombers in Iraq - again. For what purpose? It surely is not to 'protect their democracy.'

The US, under GWB/Cheney de Facto president, BROKE Iraq, and in the sense the American government destabilized it, it is up to the US to right its wrong.

America and the West invaded Iraq in 2003 because they could smell oil,

It's not rocket science, American and western politicians have got highly-developed noses when it comes to sniffing out oil, that's the only reason they're meddling in Iraq and Afghanistan.

BP and Exxon has oil interests in Iraq.

what on earth do you think they ARE after?

Iraq has the world's second largest proven oil reserves. According to oil industry experts, new exploration will probably raise Iraq's reserves to 200+ billion barrels of high-grade crude, extraordinarily cheap to produce. The four giant firms located in the US and the UK have been keen to get back into Iraq, from which they were excluded with the nationalization of 1972. During the final years of the Saddam era, they envied companies from France, Russia, China, and elsewhere, who had obtained major contracts. But UN sanctions (kept in place by the US and the UK) kept those contracts inoperable. Since the invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003, much has changed. In the new setting, with Washington running the show, "friendly" companies expect to gain most of the lucrative oil deals that will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars in profits in the coming decades.

The Iraqi constitution of 2005, greatly influenced by US advisors, contains language that guarantees a major role for foreign companies. Negotiators hope soon to complete deals on Production Sharing Agreements that will give the companies control over dozens of fields, including the fabled super-giant Majnoon. But first the Parliament must pass a new oil sector investment law allowing foreign companies to assume a major role in the country. The US has threatened to withhold funding as well as financial and military support if the law does not soon pass. Although the Iraqi cabinet endorsed the draft law in July 2007, Parliament has balked at the legislation. Most Iraqis favor continued control by a national company and the powerful oil workers union strongly opposes de-nationalization. Iraq's political future is very much in flux, but oil remains the central feature of the political landscape.
