One year after his speech in Cairo promising to repair ties with Islamic nations, has Barack Obama kept his word? The US President pledged to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world "one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect." Trying to distance himself from his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama said it was time to end the mutual mistrust and suspicion. He said the US had made mistakes in Iraq and renewed Washington's calls for a two-state solution in the Middle East saying: "America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own." But on the first anniversary of that speech, many Muslims say Obama has not only failed to honour his promises, but in certain respects has continued the policies of George W. Bush. They point to his increasingly stern language against Iran over its nuclear programme, the White House's refusal to join the broader global condemnation of Israel's attack on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla, and the intensified drone attacks in Pakistan as some of the reasons. His supporters argue Obama has succeeded in reaching out to the Muslim world but must be given more time to carry out his policies. On Thursday's show we ask: "Has Obama has succeeded in changing the tone of US engagement towards Islamic nations... or has he defaulted on his Cairo commitment?"

Re-up: www.youtube.com ["Revised version of "WAR MADE EASY - THE SHOCKING TRUTH". Had to make some changes. "Naturally the common people don"t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country" ~ Hermann Goering during the Nuremberg Trials Visit: www.ivaw.net Speech in the video given by Adam Kokesh kokeshforcongress.com soldiers marines army veterans us troops vets navy patriots tea party militia martial law police state george bush terrorists WMD iraq war 9/11 inside job drug trade drones barack obama CIA new world order nwo ron paul infowars alex jones fema camps david icke Toronto Police State Canada depleted uranium DU adam kokesh economic collapse gerald celente peter schiff federal reserve audit the fed Winter Soldiers"] Fair use: § 107.

Carville blasts Obama for his response to the BP Gulf oil spill.
When President Barack Obama's efforts at arms control last month included a new arms reductions treaty with Russia and a Nuclear Security Summit of world leaders in Washington, DC, I noticed only Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" compared this meeting to the original meeting of the United Nations more than 60 years ago which, ironically, began with a call for the elimination of atomic weapons, all of which reminded me of the senior essay I wrote to get my undergraduate history degree on the failed attempt at international control of atomic weapons at the end of World War II, as I explain in this video. The clip I use of Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" comes from the April 14, 2010, segment titled "A Farewell to Arms" available using the Comedy Central video player page at www.thedailyshow.com The image I show of my own 1990 senior essay titled "LOST OPPORTUNITIES: An Examination of the Attempt at International Control of Atomic Weapons at the End of World War II" comes from my own webpage at liberalviewer.com The public domain image I use of Josef Stalin and Harry Truman comes from the wikimedia commons page at commons.wikimedia.org The public domain image I use of Bernard Baruch comes from the wikimedia commons page at commons.wikimedia.org The public domain image I use of Henry Stimson comes from the wikimedia commons page at commons.wikimedia.org The image I use of my own December 25, 2008, YouTube video titled "Hiroshima: Right or Wrong?" comes from the <b>...</b>
