Obama to IDF Generals: Stop being so concerned about Israel's security and sign the damned deal already
The Obama administration is pressuring the IDF's generals to stop being so concerned about Israel's security and sign the damned deal already.The administration is seeking a complete or partial IDF withdrawal from the Jordan Valley, where the border between Israel and Jordan lies at the eastern edge of Judea and Samaria, also called the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority has long sought control of the valley. However, Israel and Jordan are opposed to an IDF withdrawal, which they fear would enable the transit of terrorists and arms through Jordan into the West Bank.
After a prominent retired Israeli general spoke out against IDF withdrawal from the Jordan Valley, Israeli media reported that the Obama administration’s head envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Martin Indyk, convened a meeting of Israeli security officials. He pressured them to drop their objections to the plan and make media appearances in support of it to help sell a skeptical Israeli public on the benefits of a reduction in security.Let's go to the videotape.
Did you all catch that "not ten years, but 50 years"? If you didn't, go back and watch again.

But "I'm not a dictator" you know.
When was the last time someone was ordering the Jews how to live?
Israel has already done beta sites for this idea. In Lebanon, the foreign troops are hostages, human shields, or advocates... think of all the killing materials import and bunker construction the UN and Leb army have allowed... and that photo of them intermixed with the Hezbullah shooters who killed the Israeli landscape trimming crew a few years ago.
Second, Gaza. Thousands of rockets and attacks after Israel uprooted Israeli citizens out of there and the foreign "troops" hightailed it to Israel almost instantly, didn't they?
So, there will be disagreement about Israel having tried it... Sharon thought Israel should try it. BUT there is no disagreement that Israeli civilians have lived under threat and attacks because of it. And some have been killed and maimed by it.
I wouldn't want Israel to do it anymore. But to trip up the Progressive Marcuse Democrat undermining of the US and Israel, I *would* initiate a process this very week for organizing.... ta-da!... Keword: Counties!!
