Holy Moly, I suppose if you criticize Ariel Sharon, you are anti-Semitic until proven otherwise, huh???
Jeeze.
I wonder, if Scowcroft had said "Those Jewish protesters over in Israel that demonstrate against Sharon are really nuts," would he similarly be anti-Semitic???
Or is that a charge reserved only for those that criticize Israeli Likuds in power alligned with George Bush?
Think about it.
LOL! My original comment was intended only as a point of consideration. You seem intent on making it something else. Scowcroft's comments are most likely only an attempt on Scowcroft's part to get some press in this election year. The MSM is always ready to publish anyone with critical views of President Bush. It is interesting that Scowcroft picked a target that he knew he could make disparaging comments about, without having to worry about a charge of anti-semiticism coming from the MSM. After all, being critical of Israelis is not the same as being critical of Jews, right?
