Obama to make first visit to Israel as president

WASHINGTON — President Obama will go to Israel in the spring, the White House said Tuesday, marking his first visit to the staunch US ally since becoming president. While in the region, Obama will make stops in the West Bank and Jordan.

Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel discussed the visit in late January, when Obama congratulated Netanyahu on his success in Israel’s recent election.

I am wondering?  Where is the coverage of Obama's wanting to kill American citizens without any due process?  Or is he going over to Israel to shop for good drone bases?

*sigh* It's an AP story... but anyway, this is probably what you're looking for: http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2013/02/06/memo-gives-basis-for-drone-strikes-citizens/37vMfLeN9Sfzcc4gqYXcIO/story.html

The Liberal media would say that is nothing compared to the evil Waterboarding that was done under the Bush administration.

Of course Obama is planning to explain why he is sending 20 fighter bombers to Israel's new enemy, Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsi of Egypt....Gee the Globe keeps forgetting to report the news about this military sale.
