(IsraelNN.com) According to a report on Middle East Newsline, President-elect Barack Obama has dispatched his "senior foreign policy adviser", Robert Malley to Egypt and Syria to outline Obama's policy on the Middle East.
Malley reportedly relayed a promise from Obama that the United States would seek to enhance relations with Cairo and reconcile differences with Damascus.
"The tenor of the messages was that the Obama administration would take into greater account Egyptian and Syrian interests," an aide to Malley was quoted as saying. The aide said Obama plans to launch a U.S. diplomatic initiative toward Syria. Malley met both Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad "to explain Obama's agenda for the Middle East."
F-16s for Egypt Aides to Malley also said that Obama told Mubarak that the United States would maintain military and civilian aid and sell advanced F-16 aircraft to Cairo. Egypt has not ordered F-16s in nearly a decade.
Malley was an advisor to President Bill Clinton and played an active role in the Camp David summit with Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat. He later published an article in which he laid some of the blame for the failure of those talks on Israel's doorstep.
International Crisis Group In May 2008, Malley said in an interview that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, as part of his work for a conflict resolution think-tank called the International Crisis Group. This aroused ire and concern in pro-Israel circles, and prompted a spokesman for Obama to say that “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.”
One of the sponsors of the International Crisis Group is billionaire George Soros, who sits on its board and its executive committee. Other members of the board include former United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and former general Wesley Clark, who called US support for Israel during the Second Lebanon War a "serious mistake" and said that "New York money people" were pushing the United States towards a confrontation with Iran.
Ba’raq al-Hussein Obama needs to be reminded that George W. Bush is President of the United States.
Alas Babylon
78% of American Jewry voted for O. I hope they are happy with O's overtures to Syria.
Israel and the rest of our allies doubly so.
I can only conclude that 78% of American Jewry simply don’t believe Israel has a right to exist. Maybe I’m wrong, but how else do you explain this infatuation with Obama?
If Iran attacks Israel and Obama doesn’t lift a finger to support them, will those 78% still support Obama?
But Biden said noooo, he won’t sit down with terrorists....already cozying up to Damascus - which is working on nukes, is probably sitting on all of Saddam’s WMD.
He didn’t waste any time with his “sitting down with no pre-conditions,” is he? And with the help of a George Soros organization to boot. Obigula is Soros’ man, bought and paid for.
I guess he has to do something for all that good illegal terror organization money that financed his campaign.
One wonders if they would have supported him if that tape had been released by the L.A. Times.
Who is paying for these trips?
Israel is going to take care of Iran’s nuke program. They aren’t going to wait for this guy to get into office.
We now have the first charges to file for the impeachment of Obama. He is violating the Logan Act.
Didn’t they say they were going to release the tape AFTER the election. Maybe I’m getting that confused with the Governor of Hawaii that said Obama’s original vault birth certificate would be released AFTER the election or maybe it was Oprah saying she would invite Sarah to a sit down talk on her show AFTER the election. Darn, I’m so confused.
Malley's kissed Syrian butt before:
Obama advisor wants talks with terrorists
The revelations about Obama's relationship with Khalidi follows a recent WND article [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59930] quoting Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.
Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.
Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.
Malley's contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Bill Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat's refusal to make peace for the talks' failure.

Why does it matter, GWB doesn’t have the gonads to stand up for himself so why should it matter? GWB is gonna let him walk all over him just like the Rats have done for the past 4 years.
He said so so that he can now ignore that fact, obviously. As he sees himself as the One, he does not need to pay attention to such matters; he cannot help but project that attitude. It will be interesting to see Rahm Emmanuel assist in the destruction of Israel.
"You may say: the Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon, but thus says the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel: Do not be deceived by the prophets among you or by your diviners; do not listen to the dreams they dream, since they prophesy lies to you in my name. I have not sent them." (Jer.29:15).
They are the architects of their own fate.
None of this would be happening- this Marxist invasion and take over of the government- If Bush and all those rino's had any stones for the last 8 years.
I just can't believe what a weak, cowardly lame @ss Bush and the rest of the GOP is.
He seemed so promising at the beginning, and had so much support, but his cowardliness, the lack of any will to kick @ss in both houses, has brought ruin to the nation and the party. And Bush seems determined to have his face rubbed into cow pies right to the last day.
Soros made good on his promise to ruin him, that's for sure.
One wonders...
There isn’t much doubt that Soros is one of the behind the scene players who owns most of MSM either directly or indirectly, and owns Obama s well.
I only want to cry.
Reading a book right now about the Brecha, the group smuggling survivors out of Europe after WWII. They keep saying that there is no “enough,” that Jews can do for their fellow Jews, in order to save and protect their lives.
I tried to tell my relatives. They wouldn’t listen. My relatives are all survivor’s children and grandchildren. It CAN happen here. My grandfather did not believe it could happen to him in “modern” 1930s Germany either.
Hear hear, you’re preaching to the choir dude. I agree 150%.
Maybe, but do we have a court to prosecute him in? The courts aren't even willing to uphold the law regarding proof of his citizenship. Plus as an usurper, he can't be impeached because he isn't really president.
Nothing he says and does right now, and is somehow passed by RATS in the senate and made into law, can be enforced by the courts, since he isn't president, heck, the electoral collage hasn't even voted yet, and inauguration isn't for another 72 days even if they do declare him president elect.
How he can use taxpayers money to send "advisors" to talk to terrorists, undermining anything Bush many be trying to accomplish in his last days, without breaking some laws is baffling. But as it was mentioned above, Bush has no stones.
Obama will be much like the Mayor of a Council run town. He will cut ribbons, read speeches from teleprompters, preside over State dinners, and attend photo ops with foreign dignitaries. Soros and his minions will make all the decisions and conduct real policy.
BTTT.
As Michelle has told us- Barack will never lie to you, he will be honest...
