A former member of John McCain’s braintrust, neocon RobertKagan is in the Washington Post to say that Obama’s alienating every other country, not just Israel. This is when my dual loyalty light goes on. Why aren’t these people lining up against a colonialist project? Why is the Washington Post running this stuff? What is their vision of a future of continued Palestinian statelessness and blind American support for that condition? Do these people fly on airplanes?

I’m sensing sheer desperation of the neocons. The US has just submitted itself to an examination of its own human rights record and they’re howling about that too. They know what’s coming.
Glenn Greenwald nails it: link to salon.com
John Mearsheimer just published a new piece in the London Review, which underscores the desperation the Lobby must be feeling and floats some pretty strong assertions for those taking positions against US national security interests. link to lrb.co.uk
It is starting to get noticed that Petraeus didn’t just link the Palestine issue to national security interests in the Middle East in general, he linked it to an effective Iran strategy too! Petraeus must now be considered, along with Goldstone, as an existential threat. Yikes. link to jta.org
That’s an interesting paradox dalybean, because since taking office, Netenyahu had tried to insist that the Iranian problem needs to be dealt with befor the peace process and Petraeus is arging the opposite case.

maybe Obama is like a praying mantis after all – just waiting for his moment to strike – he sure seems to have lined up all the pieces with regard to this israel-regime-change operation (which is clearly what it must be)
