NOT GOOD…

On last night’s program at WDBO, I talked about the upcoming “peace” summit set to begin Tuesday in Annapolis, MD.

I told my listeners that I don’t have a good feeling about this reluctant gathering of Arab heads of state who are entangled in th…

I don’t know how Bush and Rice became so deluded – but apparently they’ve gone beyond ’smoking something’ – they’ve not only badly embarrassed themselves, they’ve seriously endangered Israel, Lebanon and the US.

GOP candidates worried about Annapolis…

Here, it’s good to see that some Republican candidates are wisely distancing themselves from Bush and Rice’s upcoming “conference”:…

The State Department. Fire the whole lot, and put a Marine Corp General in charge. Give him orders, and sit back to watch the work get completed.

Instead, what do we have? It appears to me to be a bunch of pink panty wearing New World Order types from the CFR hand holding, and song singing.

Michelle Malkin always makes the most convincing arguments and today is no exception. We can expect the Annapolis conference to be as unsuccessful as Clinton’s disastrous Camp David conference in 2000. Yasser Arafat arrived at Camp David planning to make no concessions yet knowing that the MSM would inevitably brand Israel as “intransigent” and knowing that he would start a series of riots and violence when he returned to the West Bank and escape any blame. Indeed, after the failure of the 2000 Camp David conference, the New York Times allowed Deborah Sontag, a left wing reporter at the Times, to write a huge front page “investigative piece” in which she concluded that Arafat was blameless and Israel was responsible for the breakdown in talks and that Clinton should have been more understanding of Arafat’s “needs”. The State Department careerists are always talking about what Abbas or Hezbollah or Assad “needs”. These State Department types are very much like Neville Chamberlain and the British foreign service at Munich 1938.
Michelle Malkin is the best in the biz!

Insanity is often defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. QED.

Is anyone else nervous about this “summit” be held on American soil in an historic area? Personally, I’m afraid something might get blown up. A better location for this would be at an insane asylum.

I personally like the “nuke ‘em till they glow, shoot ‘em in the dark” solution

Do you sing that to the tune of “…all we are saying is give nukes a chance…”?

With the conference looming, Defense Minister Ehud Barak has been noticeably tight-lipped over his military options other than to place his forces on alert.

I have to disagree with this. Sometimes bending over backwards even though your opposite isn’t even trying is a good thing. When all the concessions that can be made have been made and there is still no solution, Israel can proceed to protect herself with a clear conscience. I personally like the “nuke ‘em till they glow, shoot ‘em in the dark” solution.

Appeasement has dismal results as a diplomatic tool. Especially when one of the parties you are dealing with has a proven track record of failing to comply with any prior agreement.

The fact of the matter is that the Arab world does not care about the Palestinians. They use they as a propaganda tool to foment anti-Israeli sentiment. Period.

And making concessions to terrorists is a very misguided strategy. It only serves to ratify what they have done in the past, and embolden them to engage in even more henious tactics in the future.

Looks like Condi took her meeting with Carter to heart. Jimmy Carter is the patron saint of terrorists everywhere. I hope that Rice will wake up and realize that these people she is dealing with are not “freedom fighters”. Far from it – they are anti-freedom fighters.

Imagine if this were America vs. Taliban negotiations…

Taliban negotiators refused to meet with Secretary Rice until Gitmo prisoners were released. A spokesman for Rice stated that Gitmo will close and the prisoners will be released within selected US cities in exchange for the last five hideouts of Osama bin Laden.

Taliban spokesmen could not readily verify their end of the bargain.

Now, apply that to Israel.

As long as Isreal keeps giving more concessions the “Palestinians” will keep up with the garbage. More bulldozers, less talk.
