So this may have done more damage than Clinton or the Obama administration realized. The Washington Post:
Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa called Clinton’s comments a “slap in the face” to the Palestinians. “President Obama said something totally different than what she said,” Moussa said here Monday morning. “We have to ask her — does she really think this is an acceptable thing?”
At least Clinton’s walkback demonstrates that the Obama team is starting to understand that there are real costs to pissing off Arab sensibilities.

Although you’d think they would have learned that lesson in spades when Abbas got his nuts cut off in the Goldstone debacle.
Does this one fall back to Obama walking about his statement on settlements? HRC may be caught between falling rocks here?
They don’t touch that shit with a ten foot pole. That’s waaaaay too hot. I’ll have a piece that gets into this for the Windy later this week.
And now the US congress is going to try to take a dump on Justice Goldstone. I wonder if Obama realized how LITTLE support he was going to get from his own government?
