#1 The central error of their thesis was that, since America's alliance with Israel does not advance American interests

Barring a Muzzi nuclear reactor, or two, the alliances USA made with various Arab States by promoting "Peace Process", and all the "American" R&D performed in Israel.

#2 Is "realist" the latest word the Left wants to hijack, after the likes of "liberal" and "progressive".

"For instance, realists accurately predicted that Iraqis would respond to a U.S. invasion with less than unadulterated joy." That was just the 'realists'? I could have sworn pretty much everyone expected the military overthrow of Saddam to be the easy part.

Re Freeman, it sounds as though his sympathies merely lie with the other side. Like most others in Obama's circle.

#3 I do not believe it is acceptable for any country to allow the heart of its national capital to be occupied by dissidents intent on disrupting the normal functions of government, however appealing to foreigners their propaganda may be

Are we sure that this guy isn't going to be in charge of "Homeland Security" at the point where there are mass demonstrations against Obambi Fascism?

#5 Somehow, this realistic ideology can be compared to egocentric thinking:

Egocentric Thinking Patterns of Disturbed Characters


When the disturbed character wants something, he doesn’t necessarily think about whether it’s right, good, or legal — or whether his pursuit of it might adversely affect anyone. He only cares that he wants it. His incessant concern for himself and the things that he desires creates a pattern of thinking which embodies an attitude of indifference to the rights, needs, wants, and expectations of others.-

#6 If this ""I do not believe it is acceptable for any country to allow the heart of its national capital to be occupied by dissidents intent on disrupting the normal functions of government, however appealing to foreigners their propaganda may be.

is the belief of the Obamanation then, as the tea parties persist and expand, will prove the extent of their preferrence for tyranny.

#7 Until and unless these protests (tea parties) attract some serious participants I think Bambi and his minnions will view them as harmless. Just sayin', ya' know.

#8 I am wondering if this is not a little devious trick on the part of Obama to see how strong the AIPAC is currently in DC. You foist up Freeman like a red cape to a blood thirsty bull and see if the Jew lobby matador has any cajones left to spar with The One! Lets say AIPAC wins on this and the senate rejects Flashy Freeman. Does that show enough strength to Obama to go with Bam-Bam when he decides to take out Iran threat? Or, if AIPAC fails somehow to stop this does it give Obama a reason to throttle up discussions with the Mullahs and neutralize Israel while then winning hearts and minds of Hamas and Hizbollah? People want to know.

#9 actually most of obama's missteps have been not vetting tax cheats - the mark of a real amateur - not - these little peccadilloes of finding things to whine abt.

#10 I have this creepy feeling that Freeman, the donks, and the BO administration want to throw Israel under the Merry Prankster's bus.
