Obama: Goldstone not going anywhere; and the story behind the housing starts-UPDATE http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/obama-goldstone-not-going-anywhere-and-the-story-behind-the-housing-starts/ We’re in website hell, with ours going up and down all day. Meantime, we posted this brief not long ago: en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-09-24T;01:25:00-05:00 Comment by Max Furr max5ties@yahoo.com Jack, Obama isn’t likely to attack Iran. although on some issues, he closely resembles the idiot that he replaced, he does not subscribe to preemptive wars of choice. He believes in negotiation, His predecessor did not. Israel isn’t serious about peace, If it were, it would give up the West Bank. Hamas isn’t serious a bout peace. If it were, it would recognize Israel’s right to exist. Neither side will budge. And the beat will go on . . . As for Ahmadinejad, he simply presents a child’s bluster, and, unfortunately, he is just as much an idiot as was Bush.

This is unfortunate. I voted for him so we could get transparency and change, as he promised. We are not getting it so far. I am very disappointed. I am in favor of full transparency and investigations of any alleged wrongdoing on the part ANY government. Nothing will ever change without such a policy. Obama even refuses to hold the Cheney/Bush Administration accountable for their obvious crimes. I know my view will be unpopular, but I want all nations to be accountable for crimes.
