I can never quite figure out if Ghadafi is insane or just stupid. He loves making these grandiose statements on behalf of people who have no wish for him to do so.

However coming to the actual point of discussion is Obama's statement that under his presidency the US would maintain that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel. Not even the current administration, one of the most pro Israeli in years, has gone that far. As far as I know, neither the UN nor a single country in the world recognises Jerusalem as belonging solely to Israel, and have hteir embassies in Tel Aviv. Presumably Obama is working hard to get AIPAC and co on his side.
