The 'good' news for the Palistinians is: The POS C.I.C declared yesterday that the U.S. will not intervene on behalf of Israel. And that's the point. The writer forgets who we are dealing with: a madman that couldn't care less if Congress supports what he says because he will proceed anyway.
That, too, was an empty statement.
If something big happens with respect to Israel, they will use nukes. No US president -- even Obama -- can allow that to happen.
What Obama has done, though, is made it much more difficult for the US to respond.
