Robert Fisk has his doubts about Barack Obama and US Policy

[matamoros1965]

Never mind the Israelis, watch out for the idiot in the Zafira.

[PICLex]

Good on you Robert, keeping it real. If only we all did.

[charlieiscool1000]

hes right a year later hes the same old hes only sent more troops into middle east than taken out he lied to get into power like all of them

[rolodub]

He has turned out to be completely right, Obama has no substance and the Isrealis commit mass murder in Gaza knowing the power of the jewish lobby in the US will always mean unconditional support from the US government irregardless of whether the president is white or black. It makes no difference.

Obama's entire team and staff that he has appointed are:

1) Pro-Zionist and majority served on AIPAC lobby commission

2) Most served under Clinton and all have fucked up before

3) some fucking change

[d991]

Don't forget all the "financial" advisers who all have financial ties to Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. The same people tasked with "saving" the financial sector (which means laundering taxpayer money to GS and JP Morgan)

I really hope people are not turning a blind eye to this and believing Obama's fancy rhetoric. He's a good actor and orator, but still a tool of the powers that be.

[nystagmus]

i really hope robert fisk is wrong about obama, but suspect he is right.

[nystagmus]

he just appointed rahm emmanuel chief of staff.

His father was part of the stern gang in palestine (at the time) and part of Deir yassin massacre.

Definitely no change when it comes to israeli policy. Listen to Obama's AIPAC speech, he hasn't even started and he has already disappointed me. (i voted for him of course)

As Chomsky so rightly said, the US has 1 party, the business party, which is composed of 2 wings. Just look at how they got together in the end to bail out their mega rich Wall St. mates. They are both pro-Israel to the core and the vast majority of them voted for the Iraq war, although to be fair to Obama he did not personally.

[CharlesDickens99]

Watch the Al-Jazeera interview with Robert Fisk conducted by Riz Khan.

He clearly endorses John McCain as the next president.

The USA needs someone who has actually experienced a war.

He also regards Pakistan as the most dangerous rogue nation in the world.

[tessler6868]

mccain was a FIGHTER PILOT, einstein. hot dogs, 1-man weapons delivery flyers. they know war like your FedEx guy knows war.

[theGetRealGuy]

If Robert Fisk says something, you can take it to the Bank!

[forestskog]

i just spent 2 years in iraq. civilian. i met robert fisk. as far as Im concerned he has very little genuine insight into the middle east. he told me what he has said many times. that zawahiri didnt exist he was invented by "the amer-i-cans" as he always says. when zawahiri was killed he never publiclyh acknowledged he was wrong but diod admit he existed. ridiculous. like so many on the left he is a genuinely bitter tired old man. fuck him.

[theGetRealGuy]

I am sorry to hear this, I guess prefection and Journalists don't fit hand in glove.

[Sensfan613]

he has also spent 40 years through 10's of wars.. and is a p.h.d. He knows war better than you and has seen more than u forestskog .. the man lives in war

[thomasg74]

He lives in beirut for the past 25 or so years and "he has very little genuine insight into the middle east",you say you were there for only 2 years ,are you having a laugh pal,you were in iraq as a civillian,with who halliburton ?

[zombydanger]

Do you know where Beirut is even, what you mean very little insight into the middle east... I am from there, oh man Fisk knows of middle east history more than its people...

[thomasg74]

@zombydanger,are you a fucking retard,i was defending Bob Fisk,another guy said "he has very little genuine insight into the middle east",i placed the statement in inverted commas to highlight what the other guy said,why dont you read the whole statement before you comment on what i wrote,the other guy was attacking Bob ,i was defending him,i read his book about the middle east,"PITY THE NATION",dont question my support for the people of the middle east,now FUCK OFF.

[DFORCE1969]

The obama equation;

OBAMA=clinton - oval office blow jobs + self righteous bullshit cubed

Or to put it simply;Just another bomb happy corporate cock sucker.

[o0xst]

or Clinton with a different type of interest in the Tyson Corporation.

[tooyjfwn]

"meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

[yiotispan]

He is likely right. Sad, but true.

[bubblebobbledfgsfdhs]

There is no need at all to qualify this comment with the word "likely". If you just pay attention, it is absolutely clear, that Obama is no different from the abominations we have had in power in the USA for so many years.

Thak you for this clip!
