It sure sounds plausible that the Israelis may try to scuttle Kerry with knowledge of inside info.
The Israelis know Sandy Berger and Richard Holbrooke. Those two clowns rescusitated Arafat year after freaking year. The intifada that broke out in 2000 was long in the planning; Arafat never intended to come to an agreement with the State of Israel: he was always determined to destroy it.
Krauthammer's column in the WaPo of yesterday reads like someone who has been talking to the Israelis. I wouldn't put it past Kerry to use cutouts (not Holbrooke-possibly Rand Beers) to negotiate with the Syrians, the Saudis, and the Iranians. If they make Kerry look good, Kerry leans on the Israelis about the Golan, Gaza, and Jerusalem.
The Israelis love George W. Bush. He removed a psychotic killer from the helm of an Arab ship of state. However, the Israelis understand that Kerry is more of the Stanley Baldwin/Neville Chamberlain type: always interested in summitry and compromise in lieu of actual results. Kerry will try to lean on the Jews to bring along the Eurotrash, who hate the Jews almost as much as do the Arabs. I also suspect that other agencies have penetrated Kerry's rather porous operations; except for the Saudis, of course, who are probably paying someone's trust fund in return for treason.
Bottom line? Kerry doesn't give a rat's ass about a bunch of Jews. He cares about a good press in the European papers, however. He wants to be liked. Our enemies know this.
The Israelis are not helpless, however. Mossad has Kerry's operation penetrated six ways from Sunday, I promise you. And I also promise you that they don't like what they are hearing. Some of this may wind up on Karl Rove's desk.
Be Seeing You,
