Trust Obama on Clinton

If he picks her as secretary of state, she's the right choice.

    @Orville H. Larson

    That's music to my ears.

    One of the things that made Obama such an attractive candidate to me vs. Clinton was her close connections to AIPAC.

    The "War on Terror" is directly linked to the Israel-Palestine problem.

    Israel may not by OBL's main beef with the US but it's what fuels the fire of the Islamic world and provides AQ with it's foot soldiers.

    Take away the Israel issue and you still have OBL but no one to carry out his designs.
