Israel Slams Clinton Statement On Nuclear Iran
Haaretz ^ | July 22, 2009 | By Barak Ravid

Posted on 07/22/2009 8:29:09 AM PDT by Strategy

A key minister in the Israeli government criticized U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement on Tuesday that Washington would provide "a defense umbrella" for its allies in the Middle East in the event that Iran develops nuclear weapons.

Dan Meridor, Israel's minister for secret services, told Army Radio that the comments imply a willingness to reconcile with the eventuality of a nuclear-armed Iran.

"I heard, unenthusiastically, the Americans statement that they will defend their allies in the event that Iran arms itself with an atomic bomb, as if they have already reconciled with this possibility, and this is a mistake," Meridor told Army Radio. "Now, we don't need to deal with the assumption that Iran will attain nuclear weapons but to prevent this."

Ok, Israel, keep hammering these commies. We will eventually throw them out of office, but right now we need you guys to take out Iran’s nukes.

The official and most reassuring song of the new Obama Israel Policy:

These fancy things, will never come in between

You're part of my entity, here for Infinity

When the war has took it's part

When the world has dealt it's cards

If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart

Because

[Chorus]

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together

Told you I'll be here forever

Said I'll always be a friend

Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end

Now that it's raining more than ever

Know that we'll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

OK, this will make your blood run cold wondering what statement Hilary was making, because the color orange in Israel is highly charged:

Orange is the official color of the Arab Balad Party, which does not recognize Israel as a soverign state and whose goal is establishing Arab Nationality. During the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza strip, the Balad party figured prominently and went so far as to try to forbid Israeli citizens from wearing “their” color, orange.

The Israelis, a people after my own heart in so many ways, collectively gave Balad the the finger by turning orange into their protest color, with orange riboons and T-shirts everywhere, which I’m sure enraged them.

Google it up, and if I got any of this wrong, someone let me know.

That’s interesting, but I think her orange suit is just a leftover from the DNC convention.

If she shows up in Israel wearing a kaffiah, then we can talk. ;)

LOL!

I just can’t imagine anyone wearing that color head-to-toe, unless they are trying to make big statement or in prison.

Or playing the part of a tangerine in a school play about nutrition.
