Good post. Thanks for the info.

I guess we can call this another ‘epic failure’ for the Obama administration. lol

These failures are really starting to stack up. But the MSM will never ackownedge them.

*** I had always heard that Emanuel got his start as a bagman for the Chicago mob. ***

No way.

Now the Chicago mob, aka 'The Outfit', or The Syndicate', is different from the NY and other Mafia 'families' as they do let non Italians into 'The Outfit' (though they never become 'Made Members') and many are or have been Jewish, that dancing pansy wouldn't be allowed to be a $2.00 Bookie or a Bartender in a Strip Club for 'The Outfit'.

*** Of course, in Chicago “the mob” and the political organization are one and the same. ***

Hmmm .... actually in 'the olden days' when the old man Richard J Daley was mayor the City of Chicago ran better when 'The Mob' were elected officials. 1st Ward Alderman Fred Roti was a 'Made Member' and so was the Ward Committeemen, John D'Arco, Sr.

Today, Mayor Richie Daley has 'friends' who 'allegedly' have 'mob ties'. But alas, 'The Outfit' is now a shell of its once powerful self (those were 'fun' times in an odd way). Mostly thanks to US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald (yes that Patrick Fitzgerald).

You'll just have to trust me on 'The Outfit'.
And that's all I can say about that.

I did visit Chicago once, but really know little about the city.
I remember that Chicago had a pretty substantial problem with crooked judges a few years back. I once stumbled across the ramblings of one “Sherman Skolnick” (RIP) and used to read some of his less-tinfoil stuff. I got the impression he was wired into the Chicago machine somehow, because he sure seemed to know a lot of the details.

Emanuel said: “We are fed up with you Israelis -------------------------------- I'm confused. Isn't Obama POTUS? Seems like all policy decisions are voiced by Emanuel or David. Has Obama delegated foreign policy also to these two political hacks? What exactly does he do except read the teleprompter?

Second thread, Emanuel: U.S. is fed up with Israel, Palestinians

if there is no progress in the peace process, the Obama administration will reduce its involvement in the conflict. This is only common sense until the palestinians are represented by a legitimate "government".

THIS MUSTA MADE INTERESTING FAMILY DINNER CONVERSATION Rahm's father was an Israeli who was part of the Hagganah---the underground resistance movement under the British Mandate. The Hagannah blew up the King David Hotel, killing hundreds of innocent people.

Really, the HQ of the British military during their control over the Mandate of Palestine was chock full of civilians?

Or are military to be considered 'innocents' now?

Ohhhh Yeah, and that's putting it mildly. Judges, Lawyers, Court Bailiffs - all on the take.

One Judge committed suicide when it was found he took a bribe ($10k) in a Bench Trial for a Mob Hit case. The Bench Trial raised eyebrows and the Not Guilty verdict made jaws drop. The evidence was overwhelming, including an eye witness -- who had to go into hiding for over a decade.

*** I once stumbled across the ramblings of one “Sherman Skolnick” (RIP) and used to read some of his less-tinfoil stuff. ***

Ramblings is right. That guy was half loon. A TV camera seeking gadfly. He made enough stuff up that some would by chance be a tad true. I always wondered where he got the money to file all those court cases since he was a paraplegic and stuck in a wheelchair.

Feeling’s mutual.

“Dayan reported to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem that Emanuel said: ‘We are fed up with you Israelis who adopt the correct ideas several months too late, so that they become inefficient. In addition, we are also fed up with the Palestinians, who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. If there is no progress in the diplomatic process, we will reduce our involvement and effort in the conflict, because we have other matters to deal with.’”

YOU WILL?! REALLY?! Is that a promi...I mean, we haven’t had any wars yet, and only a few people have been killed so far. If you reduce your involvement and effort, it might not be too late! Please pretty please don’t put us in the brier patch, massa! Oh, what will we do if not enough people die to give Obama justification for his Nobel Piece Prize.
