This speaks volumes about our Dear Leader's Ambitions
Can there be any doubt at all that Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm...), The One, feels closer to the Mullahs of Iran than Bibi Netanyahu and the people of Israel?
Is his end-game to have a nuclear Iran? It would certainly seem that way...

None of that is reducing America's stance toward Israel as a most-favored nation. Israel is armed to the teeth with nuclear bombs. Iran has none. Do you people understand the difference between nuclear energy and nuclear weapons? Iran wants to develop its clean energy programs to generate electricity, to build up for when the oil runs out or the pollution flows over.
Iran has not attacked any country in hundreds of years, and has no interest in doing so. Their eight-year war with Iraq was forced on them and instigated by the U.S. encouraging the late Saddam Hussein to attack Iran, the U.S.'s way of payback for getting kicked out when the Shah was overthrown in 1979. At that time there were about 60,000 Iranian students in American colleges, all liking American values.
Normalizing relations with Iran is the surest way to get peace in the area, returning to relationships based on trade, not hate. The mullahs do not have an irreversible stranglehold on the country. Contrary to demonizing efforts, they do not have a mission to wipe Israel off the map. And the Persian diaspora in the U.S. and Europe, like the Cubans, would love to see a return to a more secular Iran. And just in case anyone still does not know this, the Persians (Iranians) are NOT Arabs. They are Aryans.

My reaction? Know liars say Obama never moved his lips that way.
Bibi, if you want your fighter strike force, you can keep it.

So, forgive me, if I think it's kind of horse-pucky.
First, 'ball ammo' in my experience, relates to Russian military service arms - I have a lot of that stuff, at least 5000 rounds each of 7.62x54R for my Archangel (Mossin Nagant sniper with modern stock), and 7.62x39mm for my Yugoslav SKS. The ball ammo has a unique crack-sound to it (it's the shape of the powder grain used).
US sporting spec uses a cylindrical shape, and the .223 Remington round is definitely that type. 5.56 mil spec "may" be a ball powder, it does sound slightly different when I fire it, but I have not had 5.56, its also corrosive for the barrel, and I'm an avid collector so condition is a serious issue for me. An AR-15 can chamber/fire either one. M855 only refers to 5.56 mil spec surplus rounds.
Now, there is a 'green tip' penetrator series in M855/5.56 spec that was manufactured in bulk for anticipated sale to NATO. I seriously doubt it could really do much, but it was too slow in flight and NATO rejected the contract. Without the velocity, it was very inaccurate. That stuff has been for sale rather cheap for years, but comes in 100 round bandoliers, which are a pain in the rear to take down and put in a conventional sporting mag (limited to 10 rounds here).
I can only selectively use 7.62x54R because of the composition of it - its very dry here and it can spark and cause a forest fire. It has a steel core and jacket, unlike the lead/FMJ that you normally see on US ammo. There is a decent argument for limiting its use because of that.
If they did ban it, no big deal, I have thousands of rounds of .308 for my hunting rifles, I'll just switch out my upper & lower receivers on the AR to a .308 chamber, and I'll be back in business tomorrow.
Fortunately, between my dad's lifetime accumulation that I inherited (and he had over 100 firearms) and my own obsession with collecting, I really don't have to worry about a disruption in the sale of ammo... without breaking out the reloading gear, I seriously doubt I'll be able to use all I have in my lifetime.
Is any of it armor piercing? Not a snowball's chance in h*ll. An AR-15 is high velocity, but it's a very small round, and it tumbles in flight. There is no way it could pierce a bullet proof vest. It's nowhere nearly as effective (or lethal) as an AR-15 chambered for the .308, or my Archangel. Heck, my Archangel will destroy a cinder block at 50 yards.
Either way, the court system is definitely in the mood to overturn gun laws right now, I don't see this going anywhere. Especially when it can't stand up to scrutiny.
From what I'm looking at though, M855 only refers to mil spec. There definitely is a performance difference, but I don't really think many people buy the 5.56 - I've only seen it online and by the time you pay the shipping charges, it's not worth the bulk savings, so I just buy .223 by the brick locally.
Every time there is something like this... the NRA turns it into a membership drive. I always have to look at it through that lens.
Most AR-15s in the sporting market are 16" barrels, you definitely want .223 for that, for accuracy, as the 5.56 was designed for the M16's 20" barrel. You don't actually see many of those (20") setups around.
There is much confusion about the policies and direction of the Obama presidency. Pundits and politicians alike flounder when trying to explain the actions of President Obama. The reason for this confusion and misunderstanding is the lack of courage to identify and integrate the unmistaken evidence of what they are dealing with.
The recent defense of Islam at the prayer breakfast was a central clue to what is going on in Obama’s mind. Searching for some way to downplay the role of other religions and therefore equivocate atrocities performed today with those of other religions in the past can only be described as evasion of context. Denying the words Islamist terrorists and constantly referring to Islam as a religion of peace only confirms his basic premise that translates into action to promote Islam consistently and almost openly. When you look at the words of the Koran and Obama’s actions you see a pattern that cannot be misinterpreted.
First take the Islamic tenet that lying to promote Islam is perfectly acceptable. This includes such practices as evading and distorting. We know the man is a liar from his claims on healthcare, his shovel ready jobs and “ You didn’t build that”. Why would we accept that he was truthful when he swore to defend the Constitution. That has been an obvious lie.
Now consider that what if a man with Muslim proclivities decides that his contribution to Muslim dominance can best be served by using his oratorial talents to become President of the United States and then undermine the county with weak leadership, massive debt and doing all that he can to diminish America and her defenses? Could not a person’s intent on Muslim dominance accomplish this mission to some extent? It was pointed out by Laura Ingram that Obama seems well qualified to accomplish what he wants to accomplish and she pointed to his elections, his free college program, his stimulus , etc. But when it comes to dealing with ISIS he seems feckless. Is this because he doesn’t know what to do or is it because his agenda is far different than an American President who would want to protect and promote the American Dream?
President Obama seems to have little interest in his legacy as an American President. No one would want their country to become more mediocre, weak, and debt ridden if they had a spark of rationality in them. Yet these destructive avenues keep being advocated and reflect only a mission to boost Muslim stature and diminish America. His foreign apologist speeches can only point to such a mission.
In Obama’s mind where he displays many of the attributes identified by Patai in his book ,” The Arab Mind”, we see the notion that speech is more potent than action, lying to promote Islam is perfectly acceptable and a central drive to avoid denouncing Islam is evident by the weak leadership regarding national defense. Releasing terrorist leaders and attempting to close Gitmo also fit with the overall objective of a Muslim legacy.
At the end of his term of office he will be able to say to his Islamic cohorts, “ See what I have done to promote your case and diminish the power and stature of the nation of infidels as asked by the Prophet. Such a legacy will sit well with the Muslims who will see a path to dominance they had not envisioned. Infiltration will be the strategy of the Muslim future and although simple bombing will continue, infiltration into the institutions and government will play a major part. Identifying and challenging this invasion will require more than simple vigilance. A lock step party will only accelerate the invasion as we have already seen. If no one is willing to identify this mission for what it is America will be degraded to the status the Muslim religion seeks. The land of the free without the home of the brave will cease to exist.
I think that part of the problem is that the Repubicans have excelled at giving the cold shoulder to anyone who did not fit into a shrinking pigeonhole. I have actually been informed (by a liberal) that I can not possibly be a Republican because I am not a born-again Christian. If this accurately reflects what conservatives are portraying, then the Jewish community may feel it has no choice but to stay with the Democrats.

: “Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
The winds have shifted and his perception is ugly. The deeper meaning of the above is clear - except to the Kool Aide drinkers.

The o has spit in the face of all Israelis and Jews. What I have NEVER been able to wrap my mind around, is why the Jewish community by and large votes for democrats. It's not logical, and the utter contempt that is being shown to Prime minister Netanyahu is embarrassing and beyond bad form. It's shameful, and I am disgusted by these cowards who think O is some sort of great leader.
