McPeak

Last week, Barack Obama's military adviser and national campaign co-chairman Merrill "Tony" McPeak accused former President Bill Clinton of "using divisive tactics and unfairly trying to question Barack Obama's patriotism." McPeak, a former chief of staff of the Air Force, previously supported Howard Dean and then John Kerry. He has campaigned for Obama and cut commercials claiming that Obama has the "right stuff" to be Commander in Chief...
Well, it is likely that Obama will soon be having to retract Merrill McPeak. McPeak, who was arrested last year for driving under the influence, apparently has a problem controlling more than his thirst for fermented beverages. He also has a penchant for bashing Israel or, more particularly, Jews who oppose negotiating with terrorists.
McPeak has a long history of criticizing Israel for not going back to the 1967 borders as part of any peace agreement with Arab states. In 1976 McPeak wrote an article for Foreign Affairs magazine questioning Israel's insistence on holding on to the Golan Heights and parts of the West Bank...
In recent years McPeak has echoed the Mearsheimer-Walt view that American Middle East policy is being controlled by Jews at the expense of America's interests in the region....
The interviewer asked McPeak: "So where's the problem? State? White House?"
McPeak replied: "New York City. Miami. We have a large vote -- vote, here in favor of Israel. And no politician wants to run against it."
Translation (as if it's needed): Jews -- who put Israel over every American interest -- control America's policy on the Middle East. And McPeak has the audacity to accuse Bill Clinton of McCarthyism.
McPeak also claims that a combination of Jews and Christian Zionists are manipulating U.S. policy in Iraq in dangerous and radical ways...

Dean, Kerry and now Obama. This McPeak character seems to be a real loser.
“The interviewer asked McPeak: “So where’s the problem? State? White House?””
I think the top obvious answers would be “Arafat” “Soviets” and now “Hamas”
Also note cheap shot against Evangelical Christians.
This is getting very ugly!
“we need to be asking ourselves: Is Obama a friend of Israel? Or an enemy?”
NO!!! THE QUESTION IS: IS OBAMA A FRIEND OF AMERICA OR AN ENEMY?
He’s an enemy of America!
“This is getting very ugly!”
It sure is. I hope McCain is opening his campaign office in Boca Raton soon. There are going to be a lot of votes up for grabs.
When he was COS of the Air Foece we absolutely loathed him. He’s the guy that came up with the star fleet command uniforms with navy insignia. He also gave us the pansy blue uniforms. Even my wife laughed at those.
This explains why McPeak prefers Obama.
McPeak is a waste of oxygen.
During his tenure as CSAF, he almost single-handedly destroyed the Air Force.
Thus, he is the PERFECT foreign policy advisor for Hussein.
Sounds like a pal of Joe Wilson and Wesley Clark

“Sounds like a pal of Joe Wilson and Wesley Clark”
Honestly, this guy is a lot worse. He makes those Clinton cronies seem like patriotic, red-blooded Americans.
Ping!
Imagine SECDEF McPeak...
(time to move to Malta)
McPeak
When was this guy in the Air Force and did he ever have a command or run a combat operation?
Someone should yank down his pants in front of an audience. I think they would find he wears pink panties with the Chinese star embrordered.
My oh my. The hole just keeps getting deeper, and darker, doesn’t it? The funniest thing is the Democrat party is STUCK with him now! Their superdelegate masters of the liberal universe will never allow themselves to be seen as stopping the first BLACK man from getting into the White House! LOL.
Too bad those videos weren’t on the air 4 months ago. We might have had a real conservative like Thompson, Hunter or Tancredo.
