The Chicago Council on Global Affairs recently released the results of a survey on American public opinion about US foreign policy. Their report includes this finding:
A persistent issue in regard to Iran’s nuclear program is the possibility that Israel will attack Iranian nuclear facilities regardless of UN or U.S. approval. In the hypothetical situation in which Israel were to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran were to retaliate against Israel, and the two were to go to war, only 38 percent say the United States should bring its military forces into the war on the side of Israel. A majority (59%) says it should not.
An even larger majority — 70% — oppose a unilateral U.S. strike on Iran.
In the same survey 65% of respondents said that the U.S. should not take sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Let that be a lesson to all those journalists who calculate the number of votes Obama will LOSE by, for example, snubbing Bibi, instead of calculating how many he’ll thereby GAIN.

I am so ashamed that Obama is not suporting Isreal yet most Israelies support
Democrats. Go figure?
What I can’t figure is how someone can pack so many false assumptions into such a short sentence.
