I support Israel with the best of them but Gingrich is scooping near the bottom. Soon, very soon, he’s going to demand we move our embassy to Jerusalem.
A Ging pander. Next he will look to shore up the muslim vote by looking to pardon John Walker Lindh.
Slimy Newt will pander to anybody in order to get their vote. The more I see, the less impressed I am. Claiming he was just giving FreddieMac history lessons for the millions they paid him takes the cake.
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Our embassy should have been moved there years ago.
Pollard is a traitor and should have been hanged.
Former US Secretary of State George Schultz has called on President Obama to release Jonathan Pollard:
I am writing to join with many others in urging you to consider that Jonathan Pollard has now paid a huge price for his espionage on behalf of Israel and should be released from prison.
I am impressed that the people who are best informed about the classified material he passed to Israel, former CIA Director James Woolsey and former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dennis DeConcini, favor his release.
I find the letter you received from former Attorney General Michael Mukasey of the Bush administration particularly compelling.

Right! If you were truly a supporter of Israel, you would know that it is already a matter of US Law that the US Embassy in Israel should be moved to Jerusalem.
The reason that — despite the law — the US embassy remains in Tel Aviv, is that each year, the President issues a cop-out statement to the effect that, as such a move would undermine US Security interests (read: Kissing Arab derrieres), he is postponing the move.
In fact, if memory serves, Rove’s boy campaigned on that during his first run for the White House. (Of course, he never kept the promise — and probably never intended to do so, as he issued the cop-out statement annually during both his terms.)
In a word, Sir, yes: Newt should advocate moving the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem — to comply with US law.
Now, if you were being sarcastic, I apologize for getting taken in. (Otherwise, you do appear to be 180-degrees off the mark on this issue.)
