It won't cause terrorist attacks.
We have to stop the idiotic Obama-era line of thinking that if we were just a little nicer to Islamic radicals, maybe they wouldn't hate us so much.
Trump moves the capitol to Jerusalem = Terror attacks blamed on that.
Trump keeps capitol in Tel Aviv = Terror attacks blamed on Travel Ban, Support of Israel, etc.
you need to post more often.....

But we aren't at war with Islam. We are at war with a small percentage of radical Islamic terrorists.
If we want to keep it that way, we need to not aggravate the situation.

Well, to be honest, terrorist attacks will continue whether the embassy is moved or not. Moving an embassy will make no difference in that regard.
So you think moving the embassy will have zero effect? Then why move it?
Why not? Look, terrorist are going to attack for a variety of reasons so there is no reason to appease them by not doing something that may hurt their feelings. IMO, we should not take into account any terrorist "feelings" in anything we decide to do.

Because not matter what we do it will somehow someway aggravate some situation. We should not make decisions based on what some terrorist thinks.

We should stand up for the 1967 resolution. Which means that West Jerusalem is Israel.
We have been giving comfort to the anti-Semites and Terrorists for 20 years.

Most people think he was having a problem with his dentures during it, and it's not a sign of anything health related.
I didn't know he had dentures. His teeth have always seemed incredibly white for someone in his 70's though so I guess I wouldn't be surprised to hear he's had extensive and expensive dental work done.
He seemed dehydrated to me, and the WH explanation was that his throat was dry. I don't think there's much to the whole thing... his speech has seemed similarly awkward before.

Can’t wait for the U.S. to be completely out of the ME. Shale oil, nuke plants, wind, solar...all of it. **** the ME.

This....
that said, I've long supported alternative fuels and 'drill here' as a national security issue, regardless of the 'global warming' debate....
but Israel doesn't have much/any oil... so we don't support them for that reason. We support mostly Muslim countries for that reason.... which is part of why we don't let Israel eradicate the Palestinians and Iran (among others)
Note that Russia and China are friendly with Islam in the region at least somewhat because they are dependent on the oil as well, so our current involvement arguably deters global nuclear war.

Noble Oil is one of the few US international oil companies that dont deal with the Arab world, so they could not be threatened with retaliation.
