Obama said Israel was "one of our closest allies" in the region. Who are the others?

YESHUA: A lack of reading on your part does not constitute a lack of general knowledge on my part. Is there anything in my question that suggests Obama has made an error? I am only asking a question. As for your answer, you have demonstrated your own lack of knowledge. Obama recently refused to answer the question of whether or not Egypt is to be considered an ally of the US.

The president made this statement in an interview with the Spanish-language Telemundo: "I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we do not consider them an enemy." (His own State Department later contradicted him.)

As for Pakistan, Obama routinely authorizes operations (manned and drone) within its borders, without its consent. Is that what you do to on of your "closest allies"?

And according to Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, Saudi Arabia is the world's larges

Saudi Arabia is the world's largest source of funds for Islamist militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba – but the Saudi government is doing little or nothing about it.

According to Ms. Clinton, other major sources of militant funding include Kuwait. Do you still consider them to be a "close ally"?

YESHUA, before accusing someone of having a lack of knowledge just for asking a question, you might want to (1) read the question; and (2) do your homework.
