"Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller, speaking Tuesday at a U.N. meeting on the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), said Israel should join the treaty, which would require Israel to declare and relinquish its nuclear arsenal."
Could Obama make his pro-Arab anti-Israel stance any more obvious? "Hey Israel, we know you have no territorial ambitions and just want to left alone by the Arabs, and we know all those other guys want to wipe out every last one of your citizens but we think everything will be ok if you just give up your nuclear deterrent."
This isn't just a naive policy for the Obama administration it is also a really dangerous stance to take - Israel already feels threatened by Iran's nuclear ambitions (understandable considering how many times Ahmadinejad has threatened to destroy Israel) and sending a message like this to Israel just emboldens Iran and makes war in the Middle East more likely.
