#1 That's not O.B. that's Brzesinski, Carter, Powell, and Kissinger speaking.

#2 Time for Olmert to tell The One to open the border with Messico.

#3 "I was deeply concerned by the loss of Palestinian and Israeli life in recent days and by the substantial suffering and humanitarian needs in Gaza."

Back then I was in my 'one President at a time' phase and besides, the teleprompter was broken.

#4 "I was deeply concerned by the loss of Palestinian and Israeli life in recent days and by the substantial suffering and humanitarian needs in Gaza."

But not concerned over years of rocketing of civilians on the Israeli side to make a point of it during the election, except behind close doors with Jewish donors [sorta like talking down all those bible thumping, gun totting, rednecks, while sharing a Cabernet with those fine wealthy donors in SanFran].

#5 "....aggressively seek a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians in the wake of this months Gaza war."

Israel has a "war" in Gaza, but the GWOT is no longer mentioned. Interesting, interesting indeed.

#7 I just don't get this sh*t about Israel being obligated to open the border with Gaza and supply them with food, electricity and attractive goats. Wasn't Gaza part of Egypt? Israel is no longer occupying it. Shouldn't Gaza now be an internal Egyptian problem? Let them open their border with them.

Please don't give O an excuse.

#9 Israel would be wise to ignore Zero. It would be wise to throw its own "O" down the stairs as well.

#10 It's almost certain that this will be an early failure for the twink. Predictable rookie mistake to make an impossible goal a high-profile one as well. The status quo ante was bad enough - couldn't be dressed up as anything good - and even that could be out of reach.

"Appropriate monitoring regime". An excellent example of how these people, whatever their SAT scores or pedigrees, are just real-world-dummies. (and in O's case there's ample reason to doubt even the scores and grades were anything special)

#11 I live 50 miles north of the Mexican border (Tucson,Az.). With all the tunnels, mules, and contraband packed SUV's coming in - I never realized the border was closed...

#12 Predictable rookie mistake to make an impossible goal a high-profile one as well.

Since Obama can't deliver on his socioeconomic and Iraq agenda, he'll need to distract his public (most of whom, incidentally, are not Americans---the One is a Savior for the whole World). That is better than ~~kike-bashing~~ helping the poor Palestinians?

#13 Obama. Go to hell, you and your MSM (Marxist Socialist Media).
