Pres. Obama speaks on Gaza

"Let me be clear about why we must act, and act now. When we face a situation like we do [now] -- with innocent people facing the prospect of violence on a horrific scale, and when we have the unique capabilities to help avert a massacre, then I believe the United States of America cannot turn a blind eye. We can act, carefully and responsibly, to prevent a potential act of genocide."

Oh, wait....
that's not Gaza he's talking about ...
