Christie calls for more aggressive foreign policy

[RPfan1992]

NEW YORK (AP) — Courting powerful Jewish donors for the second time in two months, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called Sunday for a more aggressive foreign policy that defends American values abroad — even in "in some very messy, difficult places."

"The rest of the world watches in desperation and hope that America will realize and act upon once again its indispensable place in the world," Christie, a prospective Republican presidential contender, said in a keynote address Sunday at the Champions of Jewish Values International awards gala in New York. "We must lead."

He charged that America must represent the strongest military and economic power, but also "the strongest moral power for what is good and what is right in the world."

The appearance offered Christie a second chance to impress deep-pocketed Jewish donors after stumbling in a recent speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition. Sunday's event also featured Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey and major political donor Sheldon Adelson.

Unless we invade another planet, I don't see how on Earth we could be aggressive.

 

[Anti-Neocon]

Put his fat ass on the front line, and see if he still wants the same foreign policy.

promoting America's values

Well, at least theye have stopped insulting our intelligence by saying "protecting our freedoms" or some such nonsense.

"I took a helicopter ride from occupied territories across ... and just felt, personally, how extraordinary that was to understand the military risk that Israel faces every day," Christie said.

The comment about "occupied territories" drew sharp criticism from some in the audience. The Israeli government and by extension most of Israel's supporters in the U.S. don't consider the West Bank and East Jerusalem to be occupied territory.

After the speech, Christie met privately with Adelson to explain that he misspoke.

Rusty Trombones for all.

I was thinking that too.

Damn chickenhawks.

Christie wouldn't make it through Basic. He'd have a heart attack just thinking about PT.

promoting America's values

Like how you did in.
In Yusgalavia/ the spread of Islamism towards Europe thanks to those values.
In Iraq Destroying an ancient beautiful country.
In Libya/ Beyond repair.

Haha this was my first thought as well when I saw this article.

Anyway, this is just more shameless pandering by politicians to American Zionists hoping to get their money in exchange for promises of guaranteeing Israel's security.

Otherwords, it's business as usual.

Interpretation: Christie wants to piss off as many foreign countries as much as possible so they respond by attacking us and making it clear that they are the "enemy" that struck first, while absolving Govt of ANY and ALL responsibility for provoking them to begin with. Pearl Harbor is a perfect example of this where the US did everything it could to piss off Japan in every way possible except military thereby provoking them to respond with a military response, which brought us into WWII.

Christie is a fucking Warmonger and this is proof.

 

[JK/SEA]

i believe they call this..'towing the party line'...

problem is, their 'line' doesn't work...

we can discuss the dem party line, but its just as boring and miserable.

[Brett85]

Disgusting.

 

[juleswin]

Christie is here to tell you all that he wants to continue to do business as usual. In fact he promises to double down on the mistakes of the past. This is what his campaign will be about.

And don't forget to vote for me

Well, at least theye have stopped insulting our intelligence by saying "protecting our freedoms" or some such nonsense.

I still hear such prayers at my church periodically. It only insults the intelligence of those who actually pay attention. Which probably does include Christie but not the people he's trying to persuade.

They want war, so that prophecy can be fulfilled and Christ can return.



BILL MOYERS: Before we go any further, give me a shorthand definition of dispensationalism.

DR. TIMOTHY WEBER: Dispensationalism is a particular way of reading Bible prophecy which divides the Bible into two stories. There's a story about God's earthly people, Israel. And then a story about God's heavenly people, the Church. And the basic premise of dispensationalism is that all Bible prophecies concerning earthly events applies to the Jews. And all of those events will be fulfilled literally in the End Times. So, Israel must be returned to the land. They must stay in the land. Without Israel in the land, there can be none of the other events prophesied in the Bible. There can be no rise of Anti-Christ. There can be no rebuilding of the Temple. There can be no Battle of Armageddon. And there can be no second coming of Jesus Christ. So everything is riding on the Jews, getting them there and keeping them there in the Holy Land.

I saw this sign at Christie's Speed Shop:

How aggressive can we make your country?

Well that depends, how much money do you want to print?
