Not Appeasing Blackwater Either

Think Progress: Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak praised Obama’s commitment to Israel’s security. Barak, who last month characterized Obama as an “extremely strong supporter of Israel,” told Israel Radio:

We are asked, sometimes, whether Obama is really a soft appeaser. To that, I say: ‘Go ask Osama bin Laden.’

Not only that, but he didn't lie us into any unnecessary and hugely counter productive wars, thereby diverting massive national security resources from real threats and into the pockets of his crony, war profiteering trans-national corporate friends. All you need to do is listen to Romney's full throated defense of the Iraq debacle to know he too is capable of playing that dangerous game.
