It is worse than you think guys... we are contemplating putting the Palestinians under a US military umbrella ... against the Israelis unless they comply with the Hussein/Clinton demands.

From debka:

A much-admired American military figure, CENTCOM chief, Gen. David Petraeus, was the next US official to put this linkage into words. In his briefing to a Senate panel, he said Wednesday, March 16: Clearly the tensions on these issues [with Israel] have enormous effect on the strategic context in which we operate in the Central Command’s area of responsibility.”

The general denied he had as yet formally asked for the Palestinian territories to be transferred to his command, but added: “In fact, staff members at various times have discussed asking for the Palestinian territories to be added to CENTCOM’s turf.”

debkafile’s military sources explain that, if approved, this step would be tantamount to providing the Palestinians with an American military umbrella against Israel.

Interesting. It causes one to wonder what it will take to cause American Jews to break the pathological loyalty to the Democrats?
