The Jim Baker game plan is that Israel gives Golan Heights to Syria. Then Syria and Iran help us w/ Iraq.
That is nuts. Israel will not give up the Golan unless the US puts them under unconscionable pressure for the dubious help of Syria. If the US wants to put pressure on some country it should be Syria for all the WMD material that was shipped there prior to the war.
Does Baker own the Golan Heights?
How is it his to give?
I have read that too, and it is hard to believe that James Baker actually believes this. I see it this way: give Syria the Golan Heights, they keep sending insurgents into Iraq, and they start angling for another invasion of Israel.
