JERUSALEM – Could President Obama's decision to sidestep Congress and strike Libya as part of an international coalition put the U.S. on a military collision course with Israel?
While the prospect of American or Western forces confronting Israeli troops may seem remote, one Middle East policy expert is warning the precedent set by Obama in agreeing to target Libya opens the door to other possible United Nations-backed confrontations, including perhaps one day with Israel.
"Particularly concerning is the prospect that what we might call the Gaddafi Precedent will be used in the not-to-distant future to justify and threaten the use of U.S. military forces against an American ally: Israel," writes Frank Gaffney Jr., president of the Center for Security Policy.

There was congressional approval for the 2nd Iraq war. If you notice the Prez is a Dem and congress is led by the GOP. If the Prez was GOP then we would have ground troops in there by now. If congress was Dem then they would still be debating sending any military in at all.

Never in a million years would they do that or Britain or France, it is the "Motherland " to the money holders/lenders of all those co-operations, bankers the federal reserves...all of them. This is why Hitler hated them sooo much they corner industries and then poor their money back into the mother land and not back into the very system that makes them wealthy in the first place ruining economy and causing inflated prices.
If there is a source that says american are bombing Israel i can assure you they are wrong.edit on 23-3-2011 by gmac10001 because: (no reason given)

Your missing a very important fact. Congress was never asked about any of this. There is a substantial difference there. Not to mention the only reason the US went into Iraq was to get a foothold into the middle east as part of a bigger plan. They tried in 1990 with the 1st war; but because there was no actual effect on the US had to pull out. The US new the arab nations hated hussain, when 911 happen it gave them the perfect opt for them to go in. It didn't matter that Iraq had nothing to do with 911, it was a shot and they took it, knowing they would not get to much flack from the arab nations because they hated hussain. They suceeded in getting a foot hold with 3 seoarate military baces in the middle east in order to fight the war.
If anyone thinks that the US is supposedly taking a back seat in the lybian war, think again. The only reason US won't put forces on the ground is to protect thier image. They stood with the UN and actually used their voice to push the resolution through, but there main agenda is total control militarially in the region, to do this they have to walk on glass and always try to prove to the arab nation, their on their side for the sake of world peace. HA! For the sake of the NWO. You mark these words; "By the time the UN gets to IRAN, they will have every Arab Nation behind them and this time they will not be able to back pedal their way out like they are doing with Lybia.
And the US Miilitary ( NWO Military)will be leading the way!edit on 23-3-2011 by mesle123 because: (no reason given)
