A number of people have written to me to tell me Brzezinski, either is not on Obama's foreign team or is just one member of it. Ever since Brzezinski introduced Obama last summer, Brzezinski has remained in the background for fear of alienating Obama's Jewish support. It makes little difference because all the others on the team are generally in agreement with his policies.
Now Lee Hamilton has officially joined the team. And as you know Hamilton and Brzezinski are joined at the hip. They both were on the Iraq Study Group and they both signed a letter among others, calling themselves "realists", pre-Annapolis, in which they urged Bush to do a number of things to make Annapolis a success.
The unsolicited Brzezinski-Hamilton Report
The surprising recommendation that will probably make the most news is that Washington should participate in starting a "genuine dialogue" with the fundamentalist Hamas group, although the proposal stops short of calling for Hamas to be invited to the November conference. While commending Bush for planning to invite Syria, they say that the invitation should not be symbolic but "genuine engagement." The letter argues that if Syria or Hamas are ostracized, "prospects that they will play a spoiler role increase dramatically... By the same token, a comprehensive cease-fire or prisoner exchange is not possible without Hamas’ cooperation."
Perhaps the most significant recommendation concerns what the U.S. should do if Israeli and Palestinian leaders fail to reach a pre-conference understanding on the endgame contours of a permanent peace agreement on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute: the authors say that the so-called Quartet (a mediation group including the U.S., Russia, EU and UN) should lay down an endgame outline for them.

American flag pins? We don’t need no stinkin’ flag pins!
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

Maybe another reason Brzezinski has remained in the background is that he is 80 years old.
BwaaaHaaaHaaaHaw - What Jewish support?
Read these two articles. In one, Brezinski panders to CAIR and in the other he states that radical Islam is mainly a concern in the Middle East...from the guy that helped bring us the Iranian hostage crisis...

Yep...and ol’ Zig went on TV and said “there is no war...”

Let’s see, panders to CAIR, says radical Islam is mainly a problem in the Middle East and that we are not at war...and he’s Obama’s top foreign policy advisor...
Both Hamilton and Brzezinski are leftist fools, add Jamie Gorelick (the cover-up hack for sweeping the downing of TWA flight 800 under the rug)and what have you got...certainly not American patriots!!!!!!!!!!
Sheesh!
At first look, I read that as Osama.
Oh, well...six of one, half a dozen of the other.
