Boehner Speech to AIPAC Celebrates 60th Anniversary of Jewish State of Israel




Washington, Jun 4, 2008 - “I’m very glad to be here today. I understand this is the largest policy conference in AIPAC’s long history. I have worked with you all since I was elected in 1990, and I am especially pleased to be here with you today.



“Last month, we were pleased to celebrate with an important friend and ally its 60th anniversary. America has no closer ally than the State of Israel. We are not allies simply by chance. Our friendship is based on a passionate belief in shared values.



“There is a bipartisan Congressional commitment to this friendship. Speaker Pelosi and I worked together on a bipartisan leadership CODEL to participate in the anniversary celebrations last month. I deeply regret that I was not able to personally attend, but health issues made travel impossible for me. Since I was not able to travel in May, it made my own trip to Israel in March even more meaningful for me. The trip crystallized the direct, real, and substantial threats faced by ordinary Israelis every single day.



“Since its creation, Israel has lived under constant threat of aggression and has stood bravely against the rise of radical Islam. No nation understands the threat of terror and the vigilance necessary to confront it better than Israel. Let me be clear: the danger remains and must be confronted with courage, conviction, and decisiveness.



“Two days ago, the president of Iran promised that Israel would ‘disappear.’ The message cannot be more obvious: Iran is a threat to Israel and the United States. Iran is the world’s chief sponsor of terrorism. It is directly linked to organizations targeting American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.



“Iran trains, finances, and equips groups like Hamas and Hezbollah…groups that support violence and destruction. But, by far, the greatest danger is Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. Iran has not come clean about its nuclear program. Iran’s refusal to abide by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act could encourage a Middle East nuclear arms race. Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons is an unacceptable danger to the United States and Israel.



“The United States must not reward destructive behavior through endless and unconditional ‘dialogue.’ Our message should be clear and unmistakable: We will not legitimize a leader who has repeatedly threatened the very existence of Israel and the United States.



“My friends, the threat of terrorism is real and the enemies America and Israel face are the same. The terrorists’ aim is to create domestic political pressure in America, in hopes it will prompt America to leave the Middle East. This has been their goal for decades. Remember:



· Tehran in 1979;

· Beirut in 1983;

· Somalia in 1993;

· Khobar Towers in 1996;

· East African Embassy bombings in 1998; and

· USS Cole bombing in 2000.



“But in Iraq, the United States military is making a real, measurable difference. The success of General Petraeus’ surge of troops in the last year is undeniable. Many in Congress said last year it would never work, that the war in Iraq was lost. They were wrong…very wrong.



“There have been steep declines in overall violence. American casualties are down significantly. Al Qaeda is encircled and on the run. More Iraqis are joining the Iraqi Security Forces, and those forces are growing stronger every day. The Iraqi government has passed laws promoting sectarian reconciliation. And the prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, in cooperation with minority Sunnis, has launched successful operations against Shiite and Iranian-backed gangs in the port of Basra.



“Sadly, you will not hear a lot from other Members of Congress this morning about the good news coming from Iraq. It would be a mistake of historic proportions to retreat from Iraq and – despite the clear progress – to create a power vacuum for Iran. Failure in Iraq leads to instability throughout the region.



“It’s simple: if we lose in Iraq, we will lose the region and make it more dangerous for Israel. If we do not stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, we lose Israel. If we do not take seriously the words and intentions of Islamic militants, we lose Israel.



“The threats facing the United States and Israel must and will be met with an equal determination to preserve our God-given liberties. The bonds of trust between Israel and America have never been stronger or more important than they are right now.



“May God bless the Jewish state of Israel on its sixtieth anniversary. Thank you.”

that isn't for christian beliefs man, their dying for jewish beliefs, israel is not christian they are nothing but jewish.

The defense never rests. When President Barack Obama released his own policy this week on former President George W. Bush’s practice of attaching controversial signing statements to legislation, a reporter quickly got a tip from a Bush loyalist: the cell phone number for a White House lawyer in the past administration.

“The spin is bogus,” said William Burck, a former deputy White House counsel, in pushing back against early news accounts framing Obama’s action as a slap at his predecessor. In fact, Burck insisted, the new policy is no different from Bush’s.

Even though Bush is keeping quiet in Texas before heading out on a lucrative speaking tour, an informal network of former aides is keeping his views in the political bloodstream, defending his legacy in TV appearances and backgrounding reporters about his record.

Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer calls the Bush pundits “a loose confederation of people united in our belief in what President Bush did, and we’re freer now to talk about some things than we used to be — good and bad.”

The Bush defense forces include Fleischer; former press secretary Dana Perino; Bush political czar Karl Rove, who has contracts with Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and Newsweek; economics guru Tony Fratto; the prolific Peter Wehner, former director of the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives; and the graceful speechwriter Michael Gerson, who writes an opinion column for The Washington Post.

The former aides are armed with many of the same arguments that they tried out on reporters when they strolled the hallways of the West Wing.

When CNN’s Larry King recently asked what Fleischer considered to be a hostile question about tax cuts, the president’s first press secretary pulled out an ancient talking point and reminded viewers that the nation “had a record-breaking 55 straight months of job creation and economic job growth” on Bush’s watch.

“We’re invited to comment on the events of the day and along the way, we remind people that there was, indeed, good news under President Bush,” Fleischer said.

Participants say the effort is not coordinated or organized but, rather, a natural result of the hunger by bookers and reporters to get the views of aides who approached the status of celebrity through their service in a two-term presidency. The Bush alumni said they make their points subtly — both because the former president does not want to feed an Obama vs. Bush story line and because they know they will never win that battle.

“Communications-wise, this tidal wave is going to have to wash on over everybody,” said Perino, Bush’s last press secretary. “We do what we can, and we believe that history will get it right in the end.”

A few days before Obama announced he was abolishing Bush-era limits on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, Bush supporters who frequently appear on TV received an e-mail from an adviser saying: “I wanted to send you the following two documents on President Bush’s record on stem cell research: 1. a Bush White House fact sheet on President Bush’s record of advancing stem cell research in ethical, responsible ways and 2. a November 2007 Washington Post column by Charles Krauthammer, ‘Stem Cell Vindication.’”

Recipients said the information was helpful and that they were struck by the fact that it wasn’t talking points — just a savvy reminder of points the press was likely to overlook.

So the Bush message persists in the punditry ether. On National Review Online, Yuval Levin, who worked on health issues as an associate director of Bush’s Domestic Policy Council, defended his boss’s approach to the stem cell decision: “Unfortunately, the political debate has yet to recover the kind of balanced understanding of the moral quandary that President Bush offered the country eight years ago.”

Jim Connaughton, the former chairman of Bush’s White House Council on Environmental Quality, popped up on Fox the other day talking about the president’s record on energy and the environment.

And Fratto, once a top spokesman for Bush’s Treasury Department and White House, talks to reporters about economic issues just about every day.

“A lot of us still hear from you guys, looking for reaction, especially when we’re attacked, like on the budget,” Fratto said. “There’s no coordinated effort to push back on these things, but if there’s a charge, we’ll set the record straight.”

Bush-era officials walk a fine line, and they know it. The outgoing administration, in the view of even the most partisan members of the Obama team, was hugely helpful and professional during the transition — a tone that clearly started in the Oval Office. Former presidents, by tradition, try to leave the stage to their successors, and Bush — who has been largely incognito except for a visit to a Dallas hardware store, has been no different.

Former White House aides from both parties also feel a bond with the new kids in town — particularly given the economic apocalypse that they face. Fratto says he often reminds reporters to give his successors at Treasury a break, since they have so much on their plate, “some of it of their own making, a lot of it that they had to pick up as they came in.”

“That doesn’t always make the stories,” he said.

Perino said her fellow alumni have no interest in “fanning the flames of Obama vs. Bush.” But sometimes the frustration does show.

“For many years, we were accused of being too close to the Russians, right?” Perino said. “Too close to Putin — too friendly with them. And then on this recent trip, our new secretary of state wants to press the reset button and improve the relationship with Russia. And I think: Why isn’t there any critical thinking going on?”

They are poor losers who do not wish to relinguish power or work with Obama to fix their mess.
They need to go!
All of them....

that article above this post is just fluff details designed to keep you from looking at the big picture. it's a very common tactic and people will use it to try to tout their knowledge of the details. the above article is no different than many others. the big picture is that we are fighting and dying for israel and no one cares. most of the military guys i've talked to don't care what the reasons are, they just want to kill iraninans and iraqians, that's it. they just want to shoot somebody. some of them that i talked to know that we are doing this for israel and still don't care as long as they get to shoot someone. even some of them that know about the new world order don't care that they will be involved in making it come about as long as they can shoot someone. this is a sad era in our country when video games give kids the idea that killing someone is cool.
