POPSHe Doesn't Get It . . . . would be doing this to Israel even if Iran was not the problem that it is. In any event, the double standard is egregious. Obama has torn up his previous understandings with Israel over the settlements while putting no pressure at all on the Palestinians, even though since they are the regional aggressor there can be no peace unless they end their aggression and certainly not until they accept Israel as a Jewish state, which they have said explicitly they will never do. On this, Obama is totally silent. So too is Dershowitz. That’s some omission. Next, Obama is pressuring Israel to set up a Palestine state " within two years this will exist, swaggers Rahm Emanuel. But everyone knows that as soon as Israel leaves the West Bank, Hamas " or even worse " will take over. The only reason the (also appalling) Abbas is still in Ramallah, enabling Obama to pretend there is a Palestinian interlocutor for peace, is because the Israelis are keeping Hamas at bay.

POPS Happy Day! thoughts: “Ahmadinejad remains the lunatic face of Iran to the world … Ahmadinejad symbolizes the rejection of Barack Obama’s overtures … a slap in the face of the American president’s pro-Islamist policies … Ahmadinejad remains in charge of the Iranian economy, which he is progressively wrecking, thereby reducing the country’s capabilities to make mischief abroad … I dunno about that last one. Nukes vs butter debate in Iran? And terrorism is cheap, that’s why it’s so popular. But Pipes makes the point that, despite Obama’s lack of leadership, it could be a turning point. He wonders though, what kind of game Khamenei might be playing in handing A’jad the win in this “selection.” MORE at site: politico, jpost, bloomberg, nyt, phillyinquirer, memorandum, realclearpolitics, legalinsurrection, malkin, gateway, powerline, theothermccain, In other business, North Korea warns of nuclear war! http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090614/D98QDSOO0.html
