...or, at least, he should have.
Someone needs to tell the impotent American President that the jihadis aren't listening to him, either, as they burn Benghazi to the ground (but they do send their thanks to 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner, anyway, for violently overthrowing the UN-recognized government of Libyan, which handed the jihadis their murderous free reign on a silver scimitar)...
...nor does the President of Russia care what Obama says, as Putin sends even more Dutch airliner-downing capable weaponry into Ukraine, while even now ordering the Russian military itself to use its artillery to attack Ukraine from within Russia!
And your Syrian nemesis Assad obviously long ago quit giving a sh!t what you say, Mr. President, even after 4 years now of you illegally arming opposition to oust him, too. Which, by the way, appears fully unlikely to happen, Mr. President, because Putin's there, too, still arming Assad to the teeth directly against your proclamations. And, what makes your input even more irrelevant, Mr. President, is that the very rebel groups you are arming are now enlisting en masse with the Islamic State and taking the weaponry the good ol USSA has provided them with them...
...like no one with a lone lick of logic saw that coming.
Oh yeah, Mr. Obama: the Islamic State is still decimating Iraq, showing that they, too, and hardly anyone else left in Iraq give a sh!t what you say anymore, either.
It's all about that Walk softly and carry a big stick deal, Mr. President....
...not about your patented Talk badazz and carry an unloaded squirt gun approach.
Yeah, yeah, yeah - we know...
...Tell that to Osama.
But, the fact is, Mr. President...
...it's not what you've done, it's what have you done lately that keeps putting the real numbers up on harsh reality's board.
Have fun on the Vineyard.
Obama tells Netanyahu he wants immediate humanitarian cease-fire
WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Obama told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he wants an “immediate, unconditional humanitarian” cease-fire in the war with Gaza, based on a process Israel has made clear it opposes.
The statement Sunday afternoon from the White House describing a phone call between the two leaders referred to cease-fire talks led in recent days by Secretary of State John Kerry which culminated in a proposal rejected unanimously on Friday by Israel’s security Cabinet.
“Building on Secretary Kerry’s efforts, the president made clear the strategic imperative of instituting an immediate, unconditional humanitarian cease-fire that ends hostilities now and leads to a permanent cessation of hostilities based on the November 2012 ceasefire agreement,” the statement said.
Israeli leaders rejected Kerry’s proposal in part because it envisions talks with Hamas toward ends that Israel believes would reward a group it rejects as illegitimate, including opening borders.
Additionally, Israel wants any cease-fire to allow Israeli troops to continue tracking and destroying tunnels from the Gaza Strip into Israel, which Israel says were in place to facilitate a massive terrorist attack on Israeli communities.
Obama in his statement addressed some of the Israeli concerns, which were not made explicit in drafts of Kerry’s proposal leaked to media over the weekend.
“The president underscored the United States’ strong condemnation of Hamas’ rocket and tunnel attacks against Israel and reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself,” the statement said. “The president also reiterated the United States’ serious and growing concern about the rising number of Palestinian civilian deaths and the loss of Israeli lives, as well as the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza.”
The statement from Obama also nodded to another Israeli demand, that Gaza be demilitarized, although it suggested this was a long-term goal.
“The President stressed the U.S. view that, ultimately, any lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must ensure the disarmament of terrorist groups and the demilitarization of Gaza,” it said.
So far the conflict launched July 8 has killed more than 1,020 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and 43 Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel.
