(IsraelNN.com) The two leading Republican Congressmen, backed by at least one Democrat, have demanded an investigation into United States President Barack Obama’s choice of Saudi Arabia-linked and longtime anti-Israeli Chas Freeman as Obama’s top intelligence official.

Minority Leader John Boehner and party whip Eric Cantor, six other Republicans and one Democrat, Congresswomen Shelley Berkeley, wrote a letter questioning Freeman’s financial ties. President Obama has named him as the chairman of the National Intelligence Council (NIC).

Freeman is a former American ambassador to Saudi Arabia and past president of the Middle East Policy Council, and Arab lobby formerly known as the American-Arab Affairs Council. Two years ago, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah donated $1 million to the Council, whose quarterly Middle East Policy journal routinely includes anti-Israel messages.

How is Israel going to survive enemies from the Muslim nations, Europe, and the United States? Seems like an impossible task.

The 0 strategy: stab your allies in the back, kiss up to your enemies. Sounds like a solid long-term plan. [/s]

There’s a fairly well know book that talks about what will happen when all the nations of the world turn on Israel. Short version: Israel comes out just fine, but everyone else gets hammered.

BTW, the name of the book is The Bible, and God does the hammering.

For the first time in history the leader of the free world (maybe a self proclaimed king of the entire world) is a radical, anti-Jew and anti-white Christian Muslim (Wright hated white Christians and Jews, and Oboma enjoyed his company for 20 years).

I seriously believe our man of desolation has arrived. He just hasn't exposed himself enough yet.
