More GOP Lies

John Kerry, HuffPost

 Here is what Obama said about Mid-East conflict:

“But what I think is that this constant wound, that this
constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy. The lack of a resolution
to this problem provides an excuse for anti-American militant jihadists to
engage in inexcusable actions, and so we have a national-security interest in
solving this, and I also believe that Israel has a security interest in
solving this because I believe that the status quo is unsustainable.”

Here is how two Republicans distorted the words:
But of course, today, rather than seriously disputing that, or, even better,
offering a vision of their own on how to find peace in the Middle East and
security for Israel, Rep. John Boehner and Rep. Eric Cantor - senior leadership
in the House GOP -- decided to ignore the actual meaning of English words and
simply invent something Barack Obama didn't say. Here is what
they said

Israel is
a critical American ally and a beacon of democracy in the Middle
East, not a 'constant sore' as Barack Obama claims. -- John
Boehner
It is truly disappointing that Senator Obama called Israel a
'constant wound,' 'constant sore,' and that it 'infect[s] all of our foreign
policy.' These sorts of words and characterizations are the words of a
politician with a deep misunderstanding of the Middle East and an innate
distrust of Israel
-- Eric Cantor
