So, the battle lines have been delineated – for all to see. of course, we know the saudi arabian money is a red herring. Didn’t seem to hurt Clinton any – or Bush, or Cheney, for that matter.

Should the shrill and sanctimonious voices of The Lobby win on this one, we’ll yet get to see the silence of the blogs broken. There’s rage going on – some under the surface, some above. That rage is not entirely disconnected from the fury at the sight of the rich bailed out while the rest of America pays the price for the hubris of those who got it – and wanted to get more of it. And just like seeing the economy in a tail spin, I’d hate to be a witness to the consequences of sticking it to the public one time too many, then hiding behind sanctimony.

Disappointingly, Obama, in surrounding himself with AIPAC folks
such as Emmanuel, Clinton, Ross, et al, has pretty well announced
his position on things Israel. His senate vote never challenged the
AIPAC stand, and his sending AIPAC envoys Clinton and Mitchell
to negotiate peace in the Middle East indicates quite clearly that
Israel is calling the shots.
It’s so heartening for us to learn about intelligent, well-qualified
folks in government of Mr. Freeman’s caliber who will speak the truth about the Middle East regardless of AIPAC’s wrath.
A big noise should be made to Obama and his picks if Mr. Freeman
is prevented from keeping his position in intelligence. Both our
country and Obama need strong truthtellers.

Well tomorrow I will write a letter to the FBI asking them to investigate Schumer, Ackerman,Ross and the usual jewish Israeli agents in congress…for their work in behalf of a foreign country while serving in the US house and senate.
Hell, I can probably get at least a hundred of my club members and neighbors to sign it also.

I’ll cc a fax copy to the suspects…this should be fun. I can’t get any lesser results from the FBI than from complaining to congress on these Israeli agents and the Israeli fetish .

If Obama doesn’t stand his ground on this issue, he will only be putting it off until the next Israel issue raises a flap among the Zionists. He might just as well get it over with now–because if he doesn’t, he will make Mitchell’s job–and Hillary’s and Kerry’s–more difficult.

I have a suspicion that Freeman will decline the appointment before this goes much farther. After all, does he really need this grief?
