Baker wants Israel excluded from regional conference

The message from the power brokers is real clear: "You want peace? Surrender Israel." The only question left - is Israel so weak now that she will allow herself to walk the plank.

Baker represents "republicans" as a whole now? what about the Dems, they support complete surrender against islam and in iraq, yet I don't see you calling them anti-semites?

Nope, no more than McKinney or Ellison represent all Democrats.

But he's a long time Bush advisor and prominent Republican. Like it or not, that's how it's going to play politically. If the statement is valid and gets picked up by the press like his *uck the Jews pronouncement.

Whether Baker is an antisemite or not I don't know, he has a aversion to both Jews and Israel. Dems advocating "surrender to Islam" is a different issue, with totally different motivations.

Yes, and let's have a meeting on Catholic doctrine but not include the Pope.

Stupdiest thing I've heard since the last time Nancy Pelosi opened her maw.

[Sender]

Baker just now: "If we could flip Syria, get them together with their Sunni neighbors and the United States (wtf?), we could solve Israel's Hezbollah problem."

The guy thinks we can just talk Islamic countries into "flipping" in favor of the US with some carrot. He doesn't get it.

"“This has become the most hottest proposal examined by the foreign policy people over the last month.”

Not just the hottest, folks ... the MOST hottest. That's hot.

I haven't read the details in the report - was this "no israel at the conference" plank something the entire group agreed to, or is this just Baker talking off the cuff on his own?

[dfwgator]

It seems the Saudis bought themselves a Report....

Yep.

[SJackson]

How much worse can it get no matter who's in the WH. Americans have been sold down the river for unimpeded illegal alien invasion and Israel has been sold down the river to appease and bow to islam.

Israel won't get sold down the river.

And they won't be illegals much longer, I predict by the end of 2007 the number of illegals in America will be down by 8 or 10 million.

[Hildy]

Leave the Republican Party? Makes me want to leave the damn country. Our word means nothing now... We are the weakest of weaklings...Say goodbye to the once great USA. And to think this all occurred in a Republican administration.

[SJackson]

This is pure nuts. Surely this "plan" is a misunderstanding?

There have been articles speculating about this for weeks. Based on what now appear to be well informed leaks.

[Uncle Miltie]

Baker: Exclude Israel, but require them to accept all inbound Muslims.

[oceanview]

can you hold on until the dust settles.

[elhombrelibre]

There is a part of me that says, "Let's take a breath." Tony Snow is on Hannity now and he's not exactly seeing this the way Baker and company may want to have it understood. Regardless, no way do we give anything to Syria other than High Explosives delivered to Assad's bed while he's in it if we want to get Syria's cooperation.

[SJackson]

The President can then nobly say that he is "not going to abandon our Israeli friends, as some in both parties would have me" and "will not cave in to foreign oil money". "Instead I will serve the interests of America and stay the course."

Joe Biden beat him to the "not going to abandon our Israeli friends comment, but GWB can still do stay the course

[OpusatFR]

I guess the Saudi's have given the ultimatum: It's either our oil or the Jews. Take your pick.

[Uncle Miltie]

"It seems the Saudis bought themselves a Report...."

James Baker is a Saudi Prostitute.

[stockstrader]

This is outrageous. I just don't get it.

First, the Administration floats the trial balloon (lead balloon, actually) of higher Social Security taxes via lifting the income ceiling.

Then they float the George Mitchell/UN rumor (another lead balloon).

And now this? What the heck is going on?

Heck, I'd rather have a 'lame duck' administration if THIS is the alternative!! Geeeez.

Well, so much for the GOP getting the Jewish vote anytime soon.
