a step that protects the United States and its allies.

With all due respect DP has it backwards. He assumes his President BHO considers Israel an ally and the Muslim world a foe. ... BHO has vowed never to make war on Islam, while branding Israel an "open sore" that "infects US foreign policy" . Ergo: Deploy anti-aircraft missiles to protect the Muslims from jewish attack. And that's exactly his proposal: Deploy Patriots, which are perfectly useless anti-missile rockets, backed by Aegis cruisers equipped with anti-aircraft radar, to deter israel from abrogating Iran's nuclear capabilities.

The American president Barack Hussein Obama is Iran's greatest asset. i would love to be proven wrong.
