Pardon my confusion. Aren't the Libtards up in arms because there are soooooo many death threats toward Obama from those Crazy Right Wingers?

Wouldn't that “fact” alone preclude anything like this from ever happening?

Not to be sinister, but had the gate crashers ill intentions, we would wake up to a Thanksgiving with President Pelosi. It would not have taken a gun.

Thank you, I don’t know how that happened—with the link just now. Interesting. A winery-man with a lavish, huge wedding, social wife butterfly all over the TV and cocktail circuit net, high cash contributor to Democrat Party candidates in Virginia, 1/2 Palestinian, and connected to Palestinian causes. Must have used his Rat Party connections to get in as close as he could.

Governance

* Ziad J. Asali, President and Founder
***** Rashid Khalidi, Vice President
* Talat Othman, Secretary/Treasurer
* Reema Ali
* Jesse I. Aweida
* George R. Salem
~~~~~~~~~~~

History

The American Task Force on Palestine was founded in 2003 as the successor organization to the American Committee on Jerusalem (1995-2003.)[1][2] Rashid Khalidi was president of the AJC.[3][4]

*In early 2004, the Task Force helped promote and publicize the “Geneva Accords“ in the United States.

In November, 2004, AFTP President Ziad Asali served as a member of the United States official delegation to the funeral of Chairman Yasser Arafat.

He subsequently served as a member of the United States official delegation to observe the Palestinian Presidential elections in January 2005.

On February 10, 2005, Asali testified before a full committee hearing of the House International Relations Committee on “the way forward in the Middle East peace process.” (Asali was also a delegate with the National Democratic Institute (NDI) to monitor the Palestinian Legislative election in January 2006.

In February 2006 ATFP issued its vision for a Palestinian state, first published in the New York Times.

On October 11, 2006, ATFP held its first annual gala in Washington, DC, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Condoleezza Rice, also addressed by Sen. John E. Sununu (R-NH) and Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI).

Dr. Rice told an audience of 500, “I believe that there could be no greater legacy for America than to help to bring into being a Palestinian state for a people who have suffered too long, who have been humiliated too long, who have not reached their potential for too long, and who have so much to give to the international community and to all of us. I promise you my personal commitment to that goal.“

In December, 2006, a 10-member delegation from ATFP’s leadership traveled to the region and held substantive meetings with top political leaders including Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and acting Israeli Prime Minister Tzipi Livni.

This is quite a connected organization. Why would Tareq Salahi be crashing the party?

Remains to be researched and ferreted out. Initially I thought maybe some connection, I think now more and more it is starting to look like a Publicity Stunt of some kind pulled off by those two. Well, they got the visibility they wanted.

Seeing as he is a six figure Democrat Party contributor, I doubt the White House will have the USSS go after him/her with federal charges, but the terrorists sure are step closer to understanding vulnerabilities in post 9-11 Washington D.C. with a pre 9-11 mindset (apparantly). This could become an international incident. The Prime Minister from the one nation suffering the most from Islamic terrorism was at a White House event that was compromised security-wise. Indian security may want to know what the White House is going to do--if nothing, then it escalates from there once the Indian papers and TV gets ahold of it.

Coupling this with Major Nidal Hasan's getting so close to the Israeli Ambassador in June down the street from the White House, all the while he was radicalized by cleric Al-Alawqi's rabies-infested Wahabbist writings.

AMERICAN TASK FORCE ON PALESTINE (ATFP)

(snip)

“As part of any comprehensive settlement ending the conflict,” says ATFP, “Israel should accept its moral responsibility to apologize to the Palestinian people for the creation of the refugee problem. Palestinians should accept that this acknowledgment of responsibility does not undermine the legitimacy of the present-day Israeli state.”

ATFP was a signatory to a MAY 20, 2004 “Joint Muslims/Arab-American Statement on Israeli Violence in Gaza,” which “strongly condemn[ed]” Israel’s “indiscriminate killings of innocent Palestinians, including many children,” and its “demolition of Palestinian homes.” The statement made no mention of the fact that the Israeli Defense Force’s home demolitions are entirely related to anti-terrorist measures.

ATFP’s President and Founder Ziad Asali was formerly President of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. ATFP’s Vice President is Columbia University professor of Middle East Studies Rashid Khalidi, the former Director of the PLO press agency and onetime moderator of the PLO Advisory Committee.

A notable member of the ATFP Board of Directors is George Salem, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Arab American Institute.

A senior fellow with ATFP is Hussein Ibish, who from 1998-2004 served as Communications Director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and from 2001-2004 was Vice President of Sami Al-Arian’s National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom.
