Nothing went wrong with him, Pipes simply misjudged him in the past.

Shades of Munich. Negotiate the survival of Czechoslovakia, but don't invite the Czechs.

Mideast oil money can, and does, buy scads of friends inside the Beltway.

Baker is running for "Miss Congeniality." Israel was been sold out for better cocktail party invitations.

"As Baker sees this, the conference would provide a unique opportunity for the United States to strike a deal without Jewish pressure,""

What is most interesting and ignored is that Saudi-crack licker Baker
does not discuss Israeli pressure but Jewish pressure.

Such obvious Hate Crime seems to be no problem for Congress, however.

If the Jews don't think they have enough enemies, then they need to invent more.

Notice the name of this Baker thing:

"The peace effort would begin with a U.S.-organized conference, dubbed Madrid-2,"

Madrid 1 was the sellout of the US in Iraq

What went wrong with him? How about corruption? Arabs wooed Carter in much the same way- they are BOTH in Arabs pockets!!! http://sacredscoop.com

When Brit Hume interviewed Baker, he said afterwards in his Special Report that as he exited, Baker called out to him and kept saying "flip Syria, flip Syria!" as if that would solve all the problems in the ME (and as if it was even possible). You could tell that Brit Hume thought it a bit loony.

Senility.

The Saudis hate and fear IRAN. Baker's report cowtows to the....ta da....IRANIANS. Tell us again how Saudi bought Baker's pro-Iranian report...

That aside, Baker has never seemed to like Israel.

[Hillarys nightmare]

Baker a little loony you say?

No, the old crusty bureaucrat is simply showing his true stripes.

He's nothing more than a professional silver spoon fed Arab lover, and a closet liberal to boot!

Yup. Perhaps Pipes' headline should have been "What in the world was I thinking by defending Baker?"

James Baker is not anti-Semetic or anti-Zionist, but he has never been more than a lukewarm supporter of Israel.
