OBAMA WOOING AMERICAN JEWS, TAKES HARD LINE ON IRAN

Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama has been campaigning for Jewish support and has taken a hard line on Iran, stating that a military option to curtail Tehran's nuclear ambitions is not out of the question. The Illinois Senator made his first major Middle East policy statement to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Choosing words carefully, he stated, "While we should take no option, including military action, off the table, sustained and aggressive diplomacy combined with tough sanctions should be our primary means to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons."

He also cast doubts on the proposed Palestinian Authority (PA) unity government.

• Ask the Lord to reveal the truth about Sen. Obama - is he speaking truth or mouthing propaganda that he believes will lead to his election? Does the Illinois senator stand with Israel or is he a Moslem at heart? Pray that the roots will reveal the fruit. • "Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts." (Psalm 28:3)
