How does the state run “media” know if someone is an “expert”? Do college diplomas have “Expert” written on them now?

[ExTexasRedhead]

Perhaps Danny Pearl should have tried that just before they slaughtered him.

the US should break with its policy and begin talking to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed group that the US calls a terrorist organization...

But of course... Years and years of talks with Iran itself has been so successful that obviously we should do the same thing with their henchmen...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Doncha just love how we ‘negotiate with terrorists’ now? Arrrrgh!

[DoughtyOne]

I can see why they would suggest this. Hezbollah has been by far the most reasoned of Middle-East players. Everyone knows that.

Why not bring in Mahmoud Abbas to chair these meetings. One can only mourn the fact that Arafat is not still available. Maybe we could offer his wife more billions for her personal bank account, if she were to agree to mediate.

What would probably make these talks even more likely to work, is a human sacrifice during the opening of the talks. Obama should demand Bibi volunteer for this, or he would nuke Israel for non-compliance.

I mean, how much more absurd can it get anyway?

• A Farewell Warning On Iraq By David Ignatius [Sunday, January 18, 2009] -- The lessons of Lebanon stayed with Crocker, and they framed his view of Iraq. "Major traumas have very far-reaching consequences," he says. "The Israeli invasion of 1982 had a fundamental and ongoing impact on the entire region, and on us. It brought into being the Syria-Iran alliance, it brought into being Hezbollah -- and all the second- and third-order consequences, some of which we're arguably confronting today in Gaza."

Methinks that one can obtain the title/label of “Middle East expert” by simply cutting an ad from a comic book and mailing in a check for .10 cent being most of these idiotic “Middle East experts” are charlatans and crackpots.

[ThunderSleeps]

Yeah, I’ll “talk” to them. Just have them come in here, line up, and hold still for a few moments. I’ll be sending my opening round(s) of negotiation shortly...
