F'ing Has-Beens, to a man.

And I mean you, Sandra.

It wouldn't suprise me if that's their intention.

Just globalists being globalists.

Egads. No wonder the report is nothing but rambling. Instead of appointing politicians, they should have appointed someone who's got a brain.

Yes, but 70% of them voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Actually it was 38% -- but a record nonetheless.

Who was on this panel besides Baker?

Leon Panetta, Vernon Jordan, Lee Hamilton, Sandra Day O'Connor, and a bunch of other septuagenarians.

Unacceptable. Baker needs to return to the golf course, post haste.

Or to his daily workspace, under Prince Abdullah's desk.

That report leaves out Gates, who resigned for purposes of political expediency (aka his pending nomination) just ten days ago.

Because he is showing his true colors. Israel is being sold out by a Republican president.
All of the things the left said about the President were just a smoke screen. He is a spineless leftist through and through and we fell for it twice.
Welcome to one party rule.
Anybody still wanting Condi as president? She is just "W" house gofer.

from the article:

"'Right of return' is not in Oslo I or Oslo II, it's not in the Bush Rose Garden speech, it's not even in UN 181, the original partition resolution -- it's part of the Palestinian discourse," said the US analyst."

WHOOPS!!!! It IS in UN Res 194 date 11 December 1948.

Here is the text of section 11:

11. Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible;

Instructs the Conciliation Commission to facilitate the repatriation, resettlement and economic and social rehabilitation of the refugees and the payment of compensation, and to maintain close relations with the Director of the United Nations Relief for Palestine Refugees and, through him, with the appropriate organs and agencies of the United Nations;

They might as well have had Pat Buchanan write the report.

James Baker, an American Quisling. I am sickened.

That is the first time I have seen the word "quisling" posted on this web site and not had my head explode.

You, sir, are the very first person to use the word correctly and in connection to the person who DESERVES to be called that.

What Jew-haters like Baker forget is that by demanding Israel "give back" annexed territory and permit a "right of return" for one-time inhabitants, they are setting a precedent by which others in the future can legitimately demand that the United States "give back" Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to Mexico, and permit a "right of return" for perhaps 100 million Mexicans, and the removal of millions of Americans from their "settlements". In their zeal to destroy the land of the Jews, these bastards threaten to undermine the foundations of this nation.

Exactly.

One in 7 Mexicans work in the US already. The Bush administration has been actively involved in the amnesty movement since his elecation. His language on the middle east changed almost immediately after his election. Obviously, Baker and his fathers "advisors" have been influencing his administration. Perhaps a stronger word than "influence" could be used.

Again, I have to ask. If he was going to do that, why did he just appoint one of its authors Secretary of Defense?

"Unacceptable. Baker needs to return to the golf course, post haste."


Or finally be put into a retirement home with Lee Hamilton and Jimmah Cahtah. I mean this in all seriousness, why can't these people just go away? Why can't they just retire like other older people who are 137+ years old?

Don't you guys get it? The WH is going to adopt this plan. Why on earth would they have nominated Gates if they weren't on the same page? Why would they do something so unspeakably self-destructive as to nominate a Secretary of Defense who they would clash with right out of the gate? This is an unmitigated disaster.

True. I was thinking of real Jews--the Orthodox, of whom around 80% voted for Bush in 2004.

So he's going to ignore his brand new Secretary of Defense?
