U.S. gives Israel ‘big hug’

Just as Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrapped up his meetings there, Mideast peace envoy George Mitchell arrived for talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mitchell will be followed later this week by national security adviser James Jones and Dennis Ross, the White House’s point man on Iran.

Aaron Miller, a former Mideast peace negotiator under President Clinton and author of “The Much Too Promised Land: America’s Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace,” calls it “the big hug,” a show of reassurance to Israel that the U.S.-Israeli relationship remains strong despite the current squabble over settlements.

To be sure, ties between the countries have been strained over President Obama’s insistence that Israel halt all settlements as part of his drive for a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace, including a Palestinian state. And Israel is concerned Obama’s engagement policy vis-à-vis Iran will come at the expense of its security. But the flurry of diplomatic activity sends a strong signal that these disagreements are minor in comparison to how central the U.S.-Israel relationship is and how large Israel looms in every piece of the American policy puzzle in the Mideast.More

    I wonder why he did not give him a blow job in public??? He kissed Jewish toes and finger rings.

    Such grovelling shows who is the Master and who is the slave. America is a colony of Israel.

    Now now.

    US knows that the minute China stops buying American debt we’re screwed.

    This is an empty gesture.

    The people of the jewish religion are doing to American what they did to Germany in the 30′s!! Israel just uses America and would sell us out if enough money was thrown their way! Israel is the only country to attack America and get away with it! They are not loyal to America they are only loyal to their religion! Remember that jewish is just a religion and that is all it is!! It is hateful racist religion bordering on being a cult!! You CANNOT be born jewish nor can you be 1/2 jewish!! The jewish religion should be banned from America and Israel should be told to kiss off and stay away from America! Then we should train and arm the Palestinians so they can take back their land! I would be willing to bet that a lot of the money the financial industry and madoff lost is sitting in Israel right now!!

    Hope George Mitchell remembered to pack his knee pads.
