(Patrick J. Buchanan):Is Ehud's Poodle Acting Up?

Is Ehud's Poodle Acting Up?

As Israel entered the third week of its Gaza blitz, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert regaled a crowd in Ashkelon with an astonishing tale.

He had, said Olmert, whistled up George Bush, interrupted him in the middle of a speech and told him to instruct Condi Rice not to vote for a U.N. resolution Condi herself had written. Bush did as told, said Olmert.

The crowd loved it. Here is the background.

After intense negotiations with Britain and France, Secretary of State Rice had persuaded the Security Council to agree on a resolution calling for a cease-fire. But Olmert wanted more time to kill Hamas.

Because this worldview appears to be spreading here and in Europe, and with this new administration taking the reigns of power - could be a harbinger of foreign policy to come.

Buchanan's really join the Left. He's using the same taunts they used against Tony Blair. Instead of recognizing the common threats and common values that bind us, they mock an ally for not whimping out and joining the Left. Buchanan's problem is he only supports democratic people when it might benefit him, and he sides with dictators nearly every time as some sort of weird affinity with order and, of course, the cheap thrill of saying he's brave enough to take on the Zionists. And, actually, this is like anti-Americanism. There is no penalty for kicking the Israelis and sucking up the Palis. Pat's a disgrace.

Wouldn’t there likely be video or news reports of Bush walking off the stage in the middle of a speech to take a phone call? This is the guy who finished reading to the school kids when he found out about 9/11. I doubt a call from Olmert would spook him.

Exactly what I was thinking! I fear it’s only going to get worse form here. Do you think “the one” is going to prosecute the war on terror like he should?

Every time I think Pat is beginning to disappear from the chatter, he launches one of these bombshells. Its all about Pat’s wallet. Nothing else.

Don’t be so harsh on Pat. Didn’t you know he lost an uncle in the concentration camps?

Poor guy fell right off of his guard tower.

Nope. But I do think he’s already finding out that there are powers besides the President who keep you from getting everything you want.

So has Human Events for publishing his crap. I don't believe in blindly supporting Israel right or wrong but the very idea a peace can be negotiated with radicals supported by the nuts in Iran is ludicrous.

If Buchanan is an isolationist, why does he keep taking the side of the Palestinians?

Shouldn’t isolationists, be, you know, neutral? Did he take sides during Rwanda?

If Buchanan is an isolationist, why is he taking sides in the Gaza conflict? Aren’t isolationists suppossed to be neutral?

Buchanan is exactly right. Israel treats the United States with an arrogance unmatched by any of our allies, because Israel knows it can rely on a political base in the United States that will support Israel no matter what—as it has through the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Israeli espionage against the United States, and Israel’s selling sensitive military espionage against Red China. George Washington warned us what would happen if the United States formed a passionate attachment to another nation; it is a tragedy that his wise words are so widely ignored today.

As Israel entered the third week of its Gaza blitz

Interesting use of words here, Pat... First off, the NAZI connotations, since "Blitzkrieg" is both a German word, and was used very successfully by NAZI Germany during WWII. Secondly, it is the term coined by the British during WWII for the air attacks on England, and in particular, London. These were indiscriminate attacks by both bombers, unguided drones (V1) and guided missiles (V2). NAZI Germany wasn't the least bit concerned where their warheads fell, and used the tactic to cause the maximum amount of damage and casualties possible, as well as to try to demoralize the British.

Now, let's contrast that with Israel's "Gaza Blitz," shall we? Israel ONLY began her air attack on Gaza AFTER hamas announced that the so-called "Cease Fire" was not going to be renewed (and maybe you can explain a "cease fire" where only occasional rockets are fired at you by the enemy, rather than a regular barrage...), and they began firing rockets into Israel again. Israel responded with highly selective, targeted attacks against known leaders of hamas, as well as weapons caches, tunnels, and places of leadership. The fact that hamas hides itself within civilian areas is only testimony to Israel's restraint in this war, which is NOTHING like a "blitz." Israel has done everything in her power to limit the number of "innocent" civilian casualties, something difficult to do when your enemy looks at children as being worth more dead as propaganda material than alive.

When Israel bombs a building known to have civilian residents, Israel will drop leaflets or phone people inside, warning them to get to safety well ahead of time. Of course, this also alerts the bad guys. When hamas launches rockets at Sderot, the warning alarms give residents all of 15 to 30 seconds of warning. If you're not already at the shelter, you're SOL.

Israel goes out of its way to fight a "civilized war." They haven't shut off all utilities. Israel treats gaza's wounded in her hospitals. When the gazans aren't acting as enemies, they're allowed in Israel. Just how many Jews are allowed in Gaza, and if they were there Pat, how do you think that they'd be treated. Why is it that "ethnic cleansing" is considered throughout the world to be a bad thing, except when cleansing a country of Jews?

Geeze, I wish Pat would give Olmert a break. Poor Ehud is desperately trying to turn marshmallows into brass. Pat is not helping at all.
