[click image]What could have taken place through back channels that could be considered useful for the cause of peace, given the population of enemies in the Obama Administration?
I saw a copy of a lame letter to Secretary Clinton from numerous Congresspersons this morning. I didn't deign to post it because it was clearly one of their lip flapping appeals to appeasing outraged progressives and peaceniks. They were calling for her help getting aid to the suffering Gazans. Excuse me. They voted unanimously in support of Israel in this matter and now they're circulating a letter to Hillary Clinton asking for Gaza aid? The cynicism of our politicians is staggering. So, my point here is that this bullshit about back channel communications between the Obama camp and Iran before his inauguration is more of that, more dangling vaguely appeasing reasons the outraged left should still support what is shaping up to be no change at all, except maybe for the worse.
No. Seriously. Four hundred babies were shot dead by snipers, incinerated by white phosphorus, crushed by rubble or blown to bits in the weeks preceding the inauguration, and what has been his response? Right there. Right there. Like my teacher always warned me. WATCH WHAT THEY DO. People, especially politicians, can say anything, and do, but what matters is their action. What has Obama done to show decent intent in the Middle East? Grant an interview to al-Arabiya?
That's the mouth, not the feet. And, seems to me he's doing his own blackening of the hope message, or at least graying it pretty convincingly.
