Pffffffftttt!!!!
"Tough audition on Middle East" June 7, 2008
THE AMERICAN-ISRAEL Public Affairs Committee demonstrated its continuing clout this week by providing a venue for timely speeches by presidential candidates John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama; Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; and Israel's embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. It was no surprise that all the speakers pledged their firm support for Israel. But there were significant shades of difference in how each proposed to safeguard both Israeli and American interests.
That's why I use the term USrael!
Look at the Zionist agenda-pushers make it seem like the interests are one in the same!!!!
These differences reflect healthy arguments, here and in Israel, about policy and strategy. AIPAC officials, apparently mindful of a need to be receptive to these different currents, sent a letter to members asking them to give all the speakers a warm welcome. It was precaution against any repetition of the boos that greeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at last year's AIPAC policy conference, when she criticized the Bush administration's conduct of the war in Iraq.
Yeah, I remember that. Classless Zionists! What a rude rabble they are!
McCain was in full campaign mode, mocking what he called Obama's "bold new idea" of conducting direct negotiations with Iran. McCain was plainly seeking to plant the notion that Obama is too soft, too gullible, to be America's commander in chief.
Don't you mean ISRAEL'S, Globe?
Obama, though, was hardly squishy. "As president, I will never compromise when it comes to Israeli security," he told the audience. Then he offered a devastating critique of McCain's attachment to the Bush administration's failed Mideast policies. Those policies, he argued, enabled Hamas to come to power among the Palestinians; increased Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon; and extended Iran's sway into Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza.
Yeah, that kinda turned me off to him.
Of course, the Globe supported all these moves in the service of the Zionist agenda, but you've forgotten about that by now.
Obama is right to reject President Bush's "outsourcing" of nuclear diplomacy with Iran to Europe. If there is any chance Iran might strike a deal to forgo nuclear weapons for a guaranteed supply of uranium for peaceful power plants, the United States will have to be at the bargaining table.
Provided Israel so desires.
Bush's refusal to talk to adversaries - a posture McCain would emulate - has meant ceding the role of peace broker in the region to Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and tiny Qatar.
How come Israel isn't mentioned as peace broker, hmmmm?
Obama's willingness to talk to nasty regimes - to conduct what he called "tough and principled diplomacy" - was echoed in Olmert's own defense of his government's negotiations with Syria.
That's what we call a "faint" here in AmeriKa!!!
A negotiated peace with Syria, he told AIPAC, could achieve a "drastic, strategic shift in the entire Middle East," resulting in isolating Iran.
Oh, so it ISN'T ABOUT PEACE, it is about GEO-POLITICAL PLANS!!
Pfffffft!!!
No wonder NO ONE TAKES ISRAEL SERIOUSLY!!!!!!
The audience gave Olmert, Obama, and McCain standing ovations. Politeness aside, the Olmert and Obama approaches deserve the heartiest applause."
The Globe should have added: "But we will back another war based on lies because the Zionist agenda demands it, and we are the megaphone."
Pfffffttt!
