Your logic is impeccable.
>>>>>>>Either way, it’s bad for our country.
You are right again. But don't except to be thanked for it here. As George Washington predicted in his Farewell Address, "Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests."
>>>> It is a retelling of what the PM of Israel said. Either it’s true, and our President acted disgracefully. Or it’s false, and shows the contempt that the USA is held in Israel. <<<<

“If it’s not A it must be B” is about the worst canard in rehtoric. Incidentally, “impeccable” means “sinless.”
Besides, if Ohlmert’s statements are so terrible, why did Buchanan feel the need to spice them up with words like “clueless”? Ohlmert didn’t call the president “clueless”; Buchanan did. Ohlmert only said that the president hadn’t known what Rice was about state. Do you really expect that the president reads and approves every speech made by everyone in his cabinet? Why bother with a cabinet? If Rice was about to state something that contradicts the President’s interests, she’s the one at fault, not the President, whether you agree with the President or not.
Frankly, I’m glad to know that when a world leader gets on the phone and tells the president he must urgently speak with him, that the president would halt a speech and attend to the matter, whether that leader is Ohlmert, or Brown, or Merckl, or whoever.
How ironic that someone named Sobieski is siding with the Islamacist horde. Jan Sobieski sent his troops from Poland to Vienna to rescue western civilization from the horde, rather than question what business Austrian matters were to Poland.
