Ehud Barak, Benny Gantz, and Martin Dempsey - Defense Ministry - 20.12012

General Dempsey is 'complicit' in goading Israel to attack Iran

Netanyahu and Benzion - Amos Ben Gershom - April 30, 2012

Republican National Convention - AP - 29.8.2012

Republican Convention Journal: Two stars are born, Paul Ryan and Condoleezza Rice

Crowds in support for Ann, the wife of Republican candidate Mitt Romney, August 28, 2012.

President Barack Obama pauses during an interview with The Associated Press at the White House
