"It is illegal for US companies to submit to any boycott requests and the requests must further be reported to the federal government."
That wouldn't stop some companies such as GE from doing everything it could to sell out an Ally for profit. They just don't want to get caught doing it especially buy FOX NEWS.

George Mitchell is the wrong person to be in the position of bring Peace to the Middle East just as he was the wrong person to investigate Steroid Use in Major League Baseball.

As I've said, I hope Israel blows the Saudis off the map, *then* takes out Iran without having to worry about overflying hostile territory.

I’m quietly biting my tongue tonight. Do not dare post my true beliefs here on FR. 0 may intend to overthrow everything and install a dictatorship run by oligarchs. Its too early to tell absolutely but I do not like what I’m seeing.

When I emigrated, one dollar was worth 4.04 shekels. Now it’s worth 3.57 shekels. Shekels, for that matter, are far from the most solid currency on the planet. So naturally, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
