This is an expense I for one am not willing to bear, under these conditions. Frankly I don't care what the Saudis or the Israelis support, I'm for supporting OUR needs, not theirs.

You folks are getting carried away.
I need to hear EXACTLY what the President has in mind..specifics. Last I heard there would be NO...ZERO troops on the ground.
As far as Israel, keep in mind....they are surrounded by these guys. They will always want to bring them down and limit what they can do. They KNOW that if we strike, they will get hit in retaliation, but still favor a hit.
AND allow me, as much as you do not want to hear it, every decision we make in the middle east considered Israel. Not their polls, but their security. EVERY decision made in the middle east.
