This isn't a pattern of failure. It's a surrender cult.

To add to my previous article about Chinese hackers (U.S. is losing power as the world leader), I recommend you to read the article from New York Post.  Especially, I like: "Here's the US-Israeli-Palestinian relationship in simple terms: You run a business. And you have a brother who's worked with you for decades. A group of corrupt "partners" with criminal records, notorious for flouting every deal they've made, promises to make you rich. All you have to do is kill your brother."

There is more! This is the first paragraph of the " Bibi’s Predicament" article from the Commentary Magazine:
"It should be clear by now that President Obama intends to pursue the “peace process” in the same way that he pursued health care — by ramming it down his opponent’s throat, in this case, Israel’s."
He lives Israel no choice but to bomb Iran's nuclear installations.

"Surely something must be terribly wrong with a man who seems to be far more concerned with a Jew building a house in Israel than with Muslims building a nuclear bomb in Iran ."

What can I say? I wish it didn't happen in my lifetime.  I am so, so sorry for my country... :-(
