Messiah's times: Hillary Clinton sticks up for Israel
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had some tense moments with an al-Jazeera reporter on Wednesday night, after she defended Israel in an interview. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that Israel was cautious in making peace with the Palestinians because of its bad experience with Hizbullah and Hamas.Hmmm.
Clinton acknowledged the limits of U.S. power in a combative exchange with an Al-Jazeera reporter, saying, "We can't stop a lot of countries from doing things that we disagree with and we speak out against."
In the Qatari capital of Doha for a regional development conference, Clinton was asked why Arab countries should listen to her criticism when the U.S. can't even get its longtime ally, Israel, to make peace with the Palestinians.
"Israel is a sovereign country and it makes its own decisions," Clinton responded.
"I wish there were a way we could tell a lot of countries what they should do because there are a lot of countries doing things that are not in the best interests of their own people, their neighbors or the world," she added.
Clinton pointed out that Israel has reasons to be cautious. "You often make decisions based on your own experience and history," she said. "And when the Israelis pulled out of Lebanon they got Hizbullah and 40,000 rockets and when they pulled out of Gaza they got Hamas and 20,000 rockets."

See? There it is... ROCKETS. Better info on rocket effects (engineering level) and mitigation measures, incl. amount spent on them in money and effort. Also TITLE SEARCH database (very specific info), timeline GIS layers, maps, elevation visualizations, etc. Who will finally do these? Even Hillary has is summarized into a single thought... Israel leaves, Israel gets warcrime rockets onto civilians. That is why Israel has such huge U.S. public support - because you tried the lefty approach. Now the Judea and Samaria, West Bank, security barrier pathway, Jerusalem, rocket ranges, protecting the airport... these things can been shown with the title search info.

Blah Blah Blah
Each step, as Hillary and her posse have wanted Israel to sit still under attacks, the same methods have migrated toward the U.S. Luckily for Ms. Clinton, she doesn't spend time near any borders. I wonder how long it will be before we have our own 1701 and the U.N. standing shoulder to shoulder with those poor oppressed people firing on road crews on the other side... Remember the landscaping crew where the commander was basically assassinated well inside Israel (the whole crew was inside Israel)? What ever happened about that? A big fat NOTHING. And it is metastasizing to Hillary Clinton's Homeland....

"there are a lot of countries doing things that are not in the best interests of their own people, their neighbors or the world"
She wouldn't be referrring to the Obama administration, would she? /sarc
OTOH, doesn't it seem odd that Israelis are the only ones in the word who don't seem to know what's best for Israel?
