In his first foreign policy speech after clinching the Democratic nomination for president, Sen. Barack Obama vowed that as president he would deepen American defense cooperation with Israel. “Those who threaten Israel, threaten us. I will bring an unshakeable commitment to Israel’s security and guarantee Israel’s military strength so that it can defend itself from any threat – from Gaza to Tehran. Obama said he would sign a memo of understanding promising Israel $30 bn over 10 years. He was addressing the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) annual conference, June 4.
Obama spelled out his position on talks with Iran. He said: “I will do everything in my power – everything, everything - to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.” Iran has grown stronger and increased its support for terror since this administration went to war in Iraq “and I refuse to support a policy that has made the US and Israel less secure.”

So, now he says he will do whatever it takes to stop the threat. Absolutely no different than the Bush position which has included low level negotiations and the carrot / stick approach including the UN.
Now Obama is saying he will do whatever it takes - including presumably, war. Did his supporters hear this speech? I DOUBT IT. They were too busy prostrating themselves to hear what he was saying. They were too busy feeling.
Warmonger!
