If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

"My Administration remains committed to beginning the process of moving our embassy to Jerusalem [but not now] to protect the national security interests" of the US. "

Yes, it's the same GW Bush. The time isn't right to get the Saudi's mad at us, national security you know.

But something will happen when I'm president: as soon as I take office I will begin the process of moving the U.S. ambassador to the city Israel has chosen as its capital

Surely, someone as knowledgeable as you are on the Middle East does not believe this crap you just wrote.

As much as I am a fan of Israel...American foreign policy does not revolve around moving an embassy to Jersualem. It revolves around keeping America and Americans safe.

You can come onto a public forum and take cheap shots at the President that is your right. But, I will take the wisdom of the President not to poke the hornet's nest while he actively works to defeat the terrorists against your form of cheap bravadoism any day of the week.
