The U.S. administration is prepared to show flexibility on construction in West Bank settlements, a government source in Jerusalem says. The Americans will apparently not demand a full freeze on construction, but will agree that projects now underway can be completed, Israeli officials say.

A week from Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to meet with U.S. special envoy George Mitchell in Paris to discuss the details.

So BHO cowers to both friend and foe alike—in this case, that’s a good outcome. PLEASE let this pussy be but a one-termer.

"PLEASE let this pussy be but a one-termer."

He's determined that by the time 2012 rolls around elections will be little more than a show, thanks to his friends at ACORN and the media.

Just like the Ayatollah in Iran, the wizard behind the curtain will determine which puppets of the Liberal Ideology hold the titles.

The Israeli-Arab conflict will chew him up and spit him out. ...but he’s too arrogant to realize it.

I hope Netanyahu tells Mitchell to go put himself back in mothballs.

“America does not presume to know what is best for everyone, just as we would not presume to pick the outcome of a peaceful election.”

— Barack Obama

The Obamasiah just presumes to know what is best for the Jews.

Somehow, I get the feeling ‘ol Mitch is about to be told that Israel doesn’t need Obama’s permission to build any where and any time they want.

Bibi wins this round!

Obama folds like a cheap lawn chair when Bibi tells him the way it’s going to be. The Obama tries to act like it was his idea all along and that he is being ‘generous’ by letting Israeli’s keep their own homes.

Obama must think he is in charge of Israel now. What an arrogant jerk!

Flaccid, (servant to the Teleprompter) is now pretending he didn’t care about the settlements in the first place.

Since he lacks the ability to man up and stand erect, that is the only response he can make when he doesnt get his way.

This is hilarious and maddening at the same time.

The US is telling Israel, a sovereign nation, what to do.

Gee, maybe Sweden will tell nobama his health care plans are wrong.

Israel should condition a freeze on their “settlements” upon a freeze on OUR “settlements”—in the “occupied territories” of the American Southwest.

They don't have to listen! What will Obama do? Cut the aid? Congress will laugh in his face.

How benevolent of the Israel ruling party otherwise known as the Obama Junta.

Did Bibi really agree to this? Won’t fly.

You mean BiBi is not a push over for the Chicago thug? Does he know who he’s talking to? Apparently so. He remembers Jimmah.
