Terms of Endearment The Obama administration's Middle East diplomacy goes from bad to worse.
Weekly Standard ^ | 4-7-10 | Elliott Abrams

Posted on 04/10/2010 11:31:16 PM PDT by Tigen

“Obama to Impose Terms on Israel” is the headline you didn’t read on David Ignatius’s column in the Washington Post today. The story ran under the title “Obama’s Mideast Plan,” which Ignatius describes as “proposing an American peace plan to resolve the Palestinian conflict.”

But the substance is clear: It is a threat against Israel by the Obama administration and particularly by National Security Advisor James Jones. (The give-away is this line: “The fact that Obama is weighing the peace plan marks his growing confidence in Jones.” Now who do you think was Ignatius’s source for that gem?) Apparently Obama and his team are frustrated by their inability to get Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate a deal, and have therefore decided we’ll just impose one.

Bummer is going to tell Israel to give up half of Jerusalem to the Moose, and Israel is going to tell him nothing doing.

Obama could get no agreements on Helath Care, Cap n Trade, Amnesty, and he “just decided to impose one” in each case! Does anyone see a pattern here?

This is going to get someone shot, and I hope its not the US citizenry in yet another Dem caused war.

No one imposes anything on Israel, even at the point of a gun.Obama is WAY out of his league, so is Jones.

These little bad boys are about to get their own a$$es handed to them.

The Democrat Party is the Anti-Israel party.

What I would think Bummer has in mind, is telling the Arab boys they’re free to go after Israel to force it back to the pre-1967 borders, and supplying them with US munitions towards that end. A total treason.

Obama is the anti-Christ. He is evil, Marxist and anti-American. I have never had such anger against a man as I do about obama and much of those in congress, sigh!!

Well Obummer can do what he wants. Israel will not bend. It will bite. The Mossad will defenestrate the Obama Junta.The Mossad will de-organize all of Obama’s community organizing right here in America.We will have many madrassas on US soil destroyed, many of the Muslim training camps in the USA are about to be destroyed. Yes , Obama is about to start seeing , when they are so inexperienced and naive.

There will be another war in the Middle East soon and it will be the “messiah’s” fault.

Democratic Party = Social-Marxists of America:

= Anti-Freedom, Anti-Constitutional, Anti-American

= Pro-Marxist, Pro-Union and Pro-Racism

Anyone see a pattern here?

ANOTHER GEM:

Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Obama’s just a frontman of the globalist elite who want to pillage America high and dry...

“The Democrat Party is the Anti-Israel party.”

It never ceases to amaze me how American Jews, to a fault, vote consistantly for a party that seems to have every intent on trying to weaken, if not destroy, the State of Israel.

From the few conversations I've had, things are changing. Some are willing to admit that this is not their father's Democratic party.

With the current pResident, the Democratic Party could be renamed the Party of Allah, or Hezballah (i.e. Hezbollah).

Sad that 0 has Jewish support in the U.S.

Only a self-hating Jew would support 0. He’s the most anti-Israel president we’ve ever had.

You are engaging in foolish talk that brings no credit to yourself or to the Mossad.

I think he assumes that Israel will refuse the imposed plan. The US will then simply fail to veto UN Security Council sanctions/embargoes against Israel. As the situation then deteriorates, an international force will be ordered in to “keep the peace”. This could start as a “human shield” variety, consisting of UN troops. If, as is likely, the Israelis remain intransigent regarding Jerusalem, a more potent force, like the NATO group in Serbia, would be deployed. The key for the Administration is not to move so fast that outrage in the US and in the Congress in particular shuts him down. He’s got to demonize our erstwhile ally in the minds of as many Americans as he can. That will take some doing and some time.

Rahm thinks he can cover his tracks by “getting rid of the evidence”. (”Never waste a good crisis”)
