File under: Hamas

#1 Latest poll numbers came in, and he is reacting to them. Events are inside his OODA loop. They always are.

#3 "Israel has right to defend itself"

Gee, must be his white half talking.

No, that's not racist. It's a reference to the old, sarcastic, saying "That's damn white of you" when someone does an unexpectedly nice thing (tongue planted firmly in cheek)

#4 They didn't let him finish his sentence:

"...but we are doing everything we can to change that."

#5 In making this statement, Champ is helping Hamas. Khaled Mashal was shown on CBS's 60 Minutes last night refusing to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist. It is clear for all to see that Hamas does not want peace and will violate any ceasefire. There is no point in attempting to negotiate with mad dogs. The only way to deal with them is to keep killing them until they are all disarmed and surrender unconditionally. Champ should know this. He almost certainly does know it. So if he really believed Israel has a right to defend itself he would publicly offer Netanyahu all the help he can use and at the same time tell Hamas to go to hell. Anything short of that will only encourage the bastards. But then, Champ should know this. He almost certainly does know it. That's the whole point.

#6 Don't forget Champ's 'top ~~master~~ advisor' is ValJar - an Iranian by birth. Iran backs Hamas.

#7 Also don't forget that Champ's middle name is Hussein.

#8 ...an Iranian by birth.

Not quite. She spent her childhood in Iran, where her father was working, but her parents are American, and therefore so is she. She clearly absorbed certain attitudes, though.
