Editor's Notes: Exposed by WikiLeaks By DAVID HOROVITZ 
12/01/2010 06:34

Obama, we now know, had the diplomatic cables to prove that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was no obstacle to wide Arab backing for the toughest possible measures against Iran.

After the first meeting between newish President Barack Obama and new Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in May of 2009, I wrote in these pages about the “acutely uncomfortable clash of divergent outlooks” so readily evident at their media conference.

I noted that while the Netanyahu camp had “rushed to talk up a purported meeting of minds over Iran,” it was plain that there was a gulf between the two men on the issue. Specially, I wrote, it had been Netanyahu’s hope that he would persuade Obama of the imperative to halt the Iranian nuclear drive “as a precondition for encouraging Arab moderation and thus enabling progress with the Palestinians, and on this he failed.”

Instead, I pointed out, “Obama insistently placed tackling the Palestinian issue – which has defeated even the most generous and flexible Israeli governments – on the road to fixing Iran.”

While Israel had argued internationally that stopping Iran would enable headway with the Palestinians, and other foreign heads of state, senior ministers and diplomats had politely suggested it was best to try to chivvy both processes along simultaneously, Obama, I observed, “has gone all the way over to the other side, and done so in public.”

I was referring to the president’s assertion, publicly contradicting Netanyahu, that, “If there is a linkage between Iran and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, I personally believe it actually runs the other way. To the extent that we can make peace with the Palestinians – between the Palestinians and the Israelis – then I actually think it strengthens our hand in the international community in dealing with a potential Iranian threat.”

In that column and many others since, I have often come back to Obama’s unconvincing assertion that Netanyahu, and much of Israel besides, has the Iran- Palestinian equation wrong. I often noted how illogical it seemed for Obama to argue that there was a good prospect of dramatic progress on the Palestinian front even while Iran, and by extension, Palestinian extremists, were in the ascendant, and how much more room for optimism there would be on the Palestinian front if Iran had been faced down, its nuclear march halted, and relative moderates throughout the region emboldened and empowered.

So now we know he was scapegoating the jews on the Iran issue when the opposite was true.

Nice.

No hope that the Bamster will change.

THE OBAMA administration, it is now clear for all to see...

This is a great piece.

[Truth29]

Shorter version: Obama lied and continues to lie. His goal is to destroy Israel and run cover for Iran until they have the bomb to further weaken the US.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I kind of think that if Wikileaks was going to expose anything that would be harmful to Israel, Julian Assage would be dead already. Exploding motorbike parked next to his Saab or something like that.

[GlockThe Vote]

These leaks make Israel look good.

[ReneeLynn]

I dunno. These leaks so far have been one big ‘duh’.

[xzins]

I’ve been reading the Israel documents yesterday and today. Horovitz is dead on accurate. The US in those cables was being urged to deal with Iranian nukes and Palestine was a thorn, but not an injury to the Arab states. Egypt, for example, wanted an easier way to get charitable shipments to the Palestinians.

And hold the presses, the US was warned AGAINST supporting elections for the Palestinians because (either Russia or Egypt, don’t recall which) knew that only a pro-Iran result would transpire. Amazing.

So, Obama is STALLING progress on Iranian nukes on purpose. That is the only conclusion we can reach.

In the meantime, Israel is secretly reassuring everyone that they will not attack Iran. The analysis says they fear the 15000 rockets aimed at them by Syria.

Shorter version: Obama lied and continues to lie. His goal is to destroy Israel and run cover for Iran until they have the bomb to further weaken the US.

The damage caused by BO’s WikiLeaks will be devastating to our Military and Diplomatic efforts worldwide. It was clearly BO’s intent to undermine our War Effort in Afghanistan by targeting informants against the Taliban. Is there any doubt that the Taliban will murder all the informants that have been targeted down to their GPS location?

Taliban in Afghanistan says they will target informants outed by WikiLeaks for working with U.S.

The arrogant and incompetent one strikes again.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

bump.

[GlockThe Vote]

This article confirms everything we always thought about Obama - he lies, distorts, and pushes his own agenda - regardless of the facts on the ground.

[freethinker_for_freedom]

“This is a great piece.”

Wait a second. Where’s all the hatred and contempt for the news media for publishing these cables that we saw yesterday?

You mean letting the public know what’s going on might actually be a proper role of the free press?

[GlockThe Vote]

I am not against these leaks.

What I like is that the wiki leaks are saying all the things that we here on this site were suspecting were being said between countries.
