Michael Oren, who until recently served as Israel’s ambassador in Washington, said Monday that US envoy John Kerry was coming to the region despite Sunday’s hot-mic incident making it clear that he had not been invited. The US secretary of state headed to Cairo Monday for discussions surrounding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The White House said Kerry would seek “an immediate cessation of hostilities based on a return to the November 2012 ceasefire agreement,” and stressed the need to protect civilian life both “in Gaza and in Israel.” Read more: Ex-Israeli envoy to US: Clearly, Kerry was not invited for ceasefire talks | The Times of Israel www.timesofisrael.com/former-envoy-to-us-says-kerry-wasnt-invited-to-region/#ixzz38Eeg7N6t Not invited but going anyway. |

Not "invited"? Fine. Let Israel blow the shit out Hamas, and Egypt and the Islamic Brotherhood can go to hell. So can Libya, which is still tearing itself apart, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-civil_war_violence_in_Libya and Syria, which makes Libya look like a cohesive state.

And let's not even get into Iraq, Afghanistan, and last but certainly not least, Iran, which is, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, behind MOST of this bullshit anyway.
Let's nominate John Bolton for SecState and see how they like THAT. Bolton: "EVERYBODY OUT OF THE POOL!" Fuck'em all. P.S. As I recall, one of the goals of the Iraq War and the invasion of Afghanistan was to incite the native populations of the region to overthrow their dictatorships.
Careful what you wish for...
And if I were President, I would make becoming energy independent and maximizing oil production a national priority higher than Kennedy's quest for the Moon just to divorce this country forever from the Looney Tunes politics of that region. Militarily, Israel can whip everybody over there put together, and economically, what are they going to sell besides oil...sand?
And gentlemen, if Henry Kissinger couldn't solve it, John Kerry can't solve it. Don't send Mighty Mouse to do what Superman couldn't.
End of tirade. Sorry. I am just SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF THE MIDDLE EAST. |

And despite the bleeding hearts in the UN and our own Congress, Hamas stands to be thumped but good. It won't be destroyed (unfortunately) but is being set back by years and millions of dollars. Word is a senior Hamas "official" is greating his virgins this morning after an air strike on his home. Oh, that'll make heads all over the globe explode! I like it! [/i] [/quote] Roger that. Our energy policy (IMHO) should be an "all of the above" policy, new sources coming on line as they mature to replace the older fossil fuels as well as conservation. But don't cripple or bankrupt industries simply to placate Sierra Club and the other ecowackos, that is a lose / lose proposition for everyone. I think we all are shipmate. "Mighty Mouse?" I think that's an insult to the Mouse. Besides, I don't think Kerry can sing "Here I come to save the day!" nearly as well.  Hope all is well with you and yours. |
