Meeting Without Pre-conditions
May 5th, 2009 at 11:15 am by CrankyFor Iran, cool. Israel? Not so much.
Rahm “Trade in Your Crisis For Cold, Hard Cash” Emmanuel seems to be leveraging Iran’s nuclear program to push along the Administration’s peace plan.
Israeli TV stations had reported Monday night that Emanuel had actually linked the two matters, saying that the efforts to stop Iran hinged on peace talks with the Palestinians.
Last month, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Israel that it risks losing Arab support for combating threats from Iran if it rejects peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
My guess is that it leaves the adminstration with an out if and when the tensions break out into actual warfare. The U.S. will be able to say that they would have intervened if only Israel had met them half way. It also puts Israel’s newly elected right-of-center government in the bad position to rebuff the “peace process”.

He’s like Karl Rove with an extra dollop of sleaze on the side.

“Pre-condition” is Persian for balls.
