President Obama Speaks At 2012 AIPAC Policy Conference

President Obama speaking at the 2012 AIPAC policy conference, 3/4/2012. “Four years ago, I stood before you and said that, ‘Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable.’ That belief has guided my actions as President. The fact is, my administration’s commitment to Israel’s security has been unprecedented,” President Obama said. “Our military and intelligence cooperation has never been closer. Our joint exercises and training have never been more robust. Despite a tough budget environment, our security assistance has increased every single year.”
“We are investing in new capabilities. We’re providing Israel with more advanced technology — the types of products and systems that only go to our closest friends and allies. And make no mistake: We will do what it takes to preserve Israel’s qualitative military edge — because Israel must always have the ability to defend itself, by itself, against any threat.”
