From an Israeli point of view, Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is the ideal American politician. Although many in the US government aspire to her level of commitment to Israel, few can measure up to a dedication that extends beyond the very interests of her own country.

“Lawless extremists infest Congress like crabgrass besets lawns. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R. FL) is one of the worst,” wrote US columnist Stephen Lendman on September 1.

Ros-Lehtinen’s resume is a distressing read. The congresswoman “endorses US imperial wars, police state laws, corporate empowerment, tax cuts for the rich, laying waste to Libya, perhaps a second Bay of Pigs, and Israeli lawlessness, while, at the same, opposing Palestinian statehood,” according to Lendman.

As soon as the Usurper in Chief took office, every other phrase out of his mouth was: “We must get this done very quickly; there is no time to lose,” and we have been hearing it ever since.

During his speech this evening, which was a very thinly disguised CAMPAIGN SPEECH, he kept using the phrase “you need to pass this bill right away.”

I stopped counting the number of times he used that phrase after about the fifteenth time.

Almost ten years after the 9/11 attacks, US foreign policy remains aggressive and unrealistic.

Ten years ago, critics of the United States’ mad rush to war were right, but it didn’t matter.

Mr. Hoffa,
Within the past week I became aware of some comments that you made that, quite honestly, upset me. Although your comments disturbed me, I had intended to let them slide, that is until I read something Glenn Beck had said. Although I am not a fan of Glenn Beck, he stated, “If not you…WHO? If not now…WHEN?” Mr. Beck’s comments motivated me to write to you regarding your comments.
