United States voted against? What sort of political dynamics would have the Administration voting no, I wonder?

Here is what was said ...

US Ambassador Samantha Power said: “We voted against this resolution not because we are comfortable with the status quo. We voted against it because … peace must come from hard compromises that occur at the negotiating table.”

ALSO ... I read elsewhere that it was said that the resolution only addressed one side of the issue, while the other side’s wasn’t addressed at all.

France, China and Russia were among the countries that supported the text setting a 12-month deadline for negotiations on a final peace deal with Israel and an imposed full Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and East Jerusalem by the end of 2017.

Scary.

The interesting thing here is that the USA did not need to use its veto, but merely vote against it ...

From the article ...

US veto not needed as motion falls one vote short of nine required supporters, with last minute Nigerian change of heart. France votes in favor; US, Australia vote against, five abstain.

an “imposed withdrawl” of Israel from half of her land

would never happen, would never be possible...anyway.

I figure the UnitedNazis finally faced the simple reality that they lack the ability to murder the rest of their “dam*ed Jooos”...as much as they’d love to do it

so why be embarassed by a paper-tiger resolution that just sits there and cannot be implemented?

all the more reason to install a Republican in WH by 2017.

Iruish born Samanth Power (wife of the hated Cass Sunsteen - at least Glenn Beck hates him. LOL) hates Israel, as do her evil bosses O, Moochelle, Kerry and ValJar.

When the diplomatic “hip waders” are high enough (in this case) to temper the sentiments of the general population, somewhere I feel the BS level the world is experiencing at the behest of this manufactured “uniformity” of leadership on this planet is frightening...

Funny how they are not voting for Tibetan independence, despite two prior U.N. votes in 1959 and 1961.
