Triangulating takes finesse, otherwise it just looks like double dealing. Obama’s boundless incompetence may be our salvation.

That's kinda silly, because there have never been any Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, and the only Palestinians are the Jews. The ethnically undifferentiated Arab squatters need to be kicked out. Those bone-idle bums can live off welfare anywhere they wind up -- and that's exactly what they will do. Thanks ColdOne.

First Obama sides w/the Pubs on continuing the Bush tax cuts, and now he lays off of Isreal on settlements. What can be deduced from this? Obama plans on running for another 4 year term in 2012.

The administration has squandered its prestige and credibility frivolously, scared its allies and emboldened its enemies, all to impose a blatant injustice. Judah and Shomron is part of Israel. Jews were massacred and driven out of here between 1929 and 1948 by frenzied mobs and trigger-crazed Arab League troops, while British officers looked passively on and did nothing. Now suddenly, these heinous acts become the predicate of a national acquisition, and we, once more come into our own, are viewed as the intruders. I blame Golda Meir for failing to annex these hills, as she should have in 1967.

Maybe Bibi has zer0bama’s hold card — a copy of his real birth certificate. Otherwise, I just don’t see enough motivation for zer0bama to cave.

“I wish Netanyahu could run for U.S. president.”

He grew up in Pittsburg and went to MIT.

He’s more American than Obama.
