There was in China Daily on President Obama's waffling on moving US embassy to Jerusalem. This is of particular interest in the wake the EU's bid to split Jerusalem. Of course I don't want to put the onus strictly on President Obama, because Presidents Bush and Clinton didn't what to do with it either. But he's been waffling on entirely too many issues, of late. It seems like the only
things he's firm on is putting us in the poor house, without a blanket or a pillow.
Obama delays moving US embassy to Jerusalem
US President Barack Obama ordered Thursday to delay moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"It is necessary, in order to protect the national security interests of the United States, to suspend for a period of six months the limitations" set forth in the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, said the president in a statement.
Obama had delayed to move the embassy to Jerusalem for six months in June.
The Jerusalem Embassy Act, which was passed by the US Congress in 1995, states that Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of Israel and that the US embassy should be established in Jerusalem no later than May 31, 1999.
