In 2008, Elliot Dorff joined Rabbis for Obama in their claim that Senator Obama would be a "leader in the fight against serious threats to Israel."
Dorff, a Beverly Hills based clergyman, showed a deep grasp of geopolitical issues when he claimed that because of President Bush, "now the Taliban inhabit Iraq, where they never used to be." This would have come as news to both the Taliban and Iraq. But Rabbis for Obama kept Dorff's testimonial up because no one there seemed to know any better or know anything except how awful Israel is.
