		<description>&lt;p&gt;My sense is they think they’re showing the young man how the world really works.  Thing is, I think Obama could give a shit about Chas Freeman.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Why aren’t they going after Blair?  Freeman can’t change his spots now, for better or worse, &lt;i&gt;but Blair could have picked anyone for the spot!&lt;/i&gt;  Doesn’t the Sarah Palin rule apply: the pick says more about the picker than the pickee.  In this case, it definitely does, because Blair was in no kind of tight spot politically, as McCain was, needing a boost to even be competitive.  Blair was at his leisure to make absolutely any selection he saw fit for this, and he chose Freeman.  Shouldn’t the, uh, what-you-called-them really be going after Blair for this?   That questions about the implications of this about Blair’s judgment and positions vis-a-vis the hardliners’ interests have not been raised shows this is about demonstrating their continued power — really a veto over certain appointments — not the issues being discussed.  They don’t want to inflict as serious a blow as discrediting the DNI on the administration this early and destroy their clout right from the start.  Overshoot here has the exact opposite effect as an effective low-level scalping.  They walk a fine line.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Israel can tell us what to do, but that doesn’t mean we have to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
American can support them while also supporting or working toward a Palestinian state and peace between them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israeli fears, insecurity and paranoia are their burdens, not ours.&lt;br /&gt;
We have different ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One key question is why Israel thinks it’s different than other nations in that it’s people are sprawled out all over the place and don’t seem to think they have to live within the borders of their nation or accept the rule of whatever nation they’re living in.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Just the phrase ‘too even-handed’ tells you  as much as you need to know about the AIPAC crowd and those they enable and support.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s too bad that investigative journalism is nearly dead (there’s no money there anymore for the media owners).  AIPAC, and to a bigger extent than justified ADL, are rouge elements of the same variety as the neo-cons that have mislead and coerced the US into misadventures that led to disasters.  They practice extortion both privately and publicly as much as any mobster organization that we’ve had to deal with for over a century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have no proof, but my dirty-tricks radar tells me that a full uncovering of what harm they’ve wrought would lead to prosecutions in a just world.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Good Post Spencer:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You know the game in DC. If Colonel Lang from SST thinks Mr Freeman will enable the production of NIEs’ and the like, untainted by the influence of the Mossad or their US water carriers, then, I agree with him on his endorsement. The DNI, ADM. Blair should not be moved from his pick by lightweight weather vanes like Sen. Schumer. I think Mr. Arnaud DeBorchgrave has the political climate on this and associated issues pretty well nailed down. I do not think that the Moonies’ ownership is a factor in influencing the way Arnaud thinks (been around too long). They might influence Mr. Pruden however.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Planting stories in the press ain’t nothing new for them.&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe this time, they end up red-saddled.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;This will be interesting to watch.  AIPAC is acting exactly the way Mearsheimer and Walt accused them of - unduly influencing American politics.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

What’s good is bad and bad is good,&lt;br /&gt;
You’ll find out when you reach the top your on the bottom&lt;/p&gt;</description>
