Barghouti: US not an honest broker, peace talks deadlocked
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH - 06/09/2013 21:50

"However Kerry, who was expected to arrive on Tuesday, has postponed his trip. The State Department never formally announced when he would be coming back to the region, nor did the Prime Minister’s Office officially announce that a meeting had been scheduled with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

Both Israeli and US officials indicated the delay was due to scheduling problems stemming from Netanyahu’s twoday trip to Poland on Wednesday. No new date for a visit has been announced.

Last week, at an address to the American Jewish Committee in Washington, Kerry said that he has visited Israel “in March, April and May, and I will be back soon.”

One Israeli official dismissed some speculation that the postponement had to do with any problems in Kerry’s efforts to re-launch Israeli-Palestinian talks, saying that if there were a crisis, Kerry would definitely be coming to try and solve it."

This will come back to haunt us and sooner than later.

I am convinced and have been for a long time that this administration is on the side of the Muslims.

Give them all the latest hardware; it’ll level the playing field later, when our own guys have to go in and clean up Obama’s mess.

This new UN woman, Samantha Power, has expressed hate for Israel before so I don’t believe we should expect anything else.

It was her that pushed for us to take action in Libya. She wants to impose her will on others and she’ll use our military to do so.

A smart country would back the winner, not the obvious loser.

The "rebels" (al Quida), whom the Obama regime supports, are getting thier asses kicked. Their only hope for victory is if the US puts boots on the ground.

why would we arm the rebels?

the facts are that doing so will only insure even more of Syria resembles Afghanistan as it was by the mid 1990s - pulverized back to the stone age - more, thousands more civilian casualties, and thousands more Syrian refugees, and wider Russian and Iranian involvement.

If we were smart, we’d offer to supplant both Iran and Russia as Syria’s “best friend”, against the Sunni Islamists, and see what we could get for it.
