Who Trusts Obama?

  • Americans don't trust anyone in Washington. November 2012 will show that.
  • Obama has not openly stated any support for Israel.
  • Are we or are we not going to support Israel? Nothing decisive is heard.
  • Obama has left Poland, Britain, India and Egypt, naming some, who have been treated by Obama in a manner to lead to distrust.
An excerpt from the report,
He added that trust that the US means what it says can be strengthened through declarative statements, by setting out a clear time line or by spelling out in greater detail what will actually happen if the military option is implemented.
Doubt about the US resolve, by the way, is not only in Israel’s mind, but also – at least according to Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya’alon – in the minds of the Iranians. For if the Iranians did indeed believe that the US and the West were hell-bent on stopping their nuclear program, regardless of how high this would raise the price of oil, then Tehran’s leaders would have stopped the program by now, opting for regime survival over nuclear capability.

  • So there have been no declarative statements coming out of the White House about policy. 
Another troubling excerpt,  
Robert Blackwill, who worked on the US National Security Council under George W.
Bush and described himself as a rock-ribbed Republican, said there was another matter complicating the trust, namely the poor state of relations between Obama and Netanyahu.
“It is common knowledge that the Israeli prime minister and the American president don’t like each other very much. And that worries me,” he said.

  • With that going on, who knows what will happen. Hopefully November 2012 will start a final resolution.
