Obama's speech, his first major address since the death of Osama bin Laden, is being described by the White House as an effort to assess the historic change sweeping the region in the so-called "Arab Spring." He plans to outline the political, economic and national security opportunities emerging for its people and for the United States. To foster those opportunities, the president will propose billions of dollars in economic help for Egypt and Tunisia as they set up governments to replace their autocratic leaders, both of whom were overthrown earlier this year. In Cairo, Obama sought to repair relations with the 1.5 billion followers of Islam across the world which had been strained in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. In his speech at the State Department today, the president will urge the region's people to view the violence and extremism represented by bin Laden as a relic of the past that undermined basic human rights as well as economic and political stability. "Change can be unsettling," Carney said this week. It is something in this case to be embraced because the opportunity is there to help shape a better future for the region and for the world." At the same time, there is plenty for Obama to clarify in his speech, from his administration's varied responses to government crackdowns on pro-democracy protesters in the region to its plans for progress in Mideast peace negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. "The question for the president is can he inject a certain measure of consistency and intellectual heft into a policy that has been viewed by some as a big game of Whack-A-Mole?" asks former Mideast peace negotiator Aaron David Miller.

A perfect time to bring the troops home, and let the ragheads kill each other. They don't need any help with that.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... But we still have such a huge stockpile of 500lb dumb bombs..... Why not load up the "D" model B52s with a full load and let them help the ragheads finish the job of eliminating each other.....

Or we can give them your money. WWOD?
Owe-bama just increased the liklihood of another Arab/Israeli war.

Yeah....and the media didn't think explaining Black Liberation Theory wasn't worth the effort in 2008....anyone familiar with it, and Rev Wright's insane racist rantings which Owe-bama cheerfully, and without complaint, worshipped for 22 years, isn't surprised by this at all. Before yesterday's speech I always wondered how anyone of the Jewish faith could possibly be a registered Democrat for a wide variety of reasons. Today, after this throwing of Israel into the gas chambers figuratively, anyone of the Jewish faith that remains a Democrat is simply too stupid to give a damn about.
