As an American that despises (maybe a little harsh term) Obama for his policies and lack of experience, he is not an idiot. I find this insulting that Bush needs "to explain" anything to Obama. Maybe Obama needs "to explain" to the Isrealis that they really are not that great an ally, are a drain on American coffers with very little in return. He can also explain Isreal cannot not expect to continue to flout International law in their actions and policies, but cry when another country is actually within its rights under International law.

The Isrealis have nothing to fear from the Clinton`s regarding global nuclear disarmament. It won`t happen. Everyone knows that major antagonists will never give them up. Russia and China will keep them to prevent conflict with the US. India and Pakistan will keep theirs for mutual deterrence. We saw the power of these stockpiles just a few years ago when it prevented a war between those two. Iran wants one to keep Isreal and the US at bay.
