The purpose of her visit is to pressure the Israeli government not to wipe out the Hamas terror organization. <br /><br />Rumor has it that as soon as she arrives, she'll be meeting with Ismail Haniyeh aboard the USS Iwo Jima , now anchored somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean.<br /><br />The script will go something like this:<br /> <br />Hillary: "Hello Mr. Haniyeh. My president has sent me here to broker a peace deal between you and the Jews. He would have come himself but he's having such a great time at the moment in Thailand. Besides, he didn't want to deal with Bibi. Now that we won the election, to be totally honest with you, we don't give a flying flat tire about Israel anymore. Actually, we would like to have you and your organization on board with us - just like we arranged for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. So, here's the deal: You stop firing rockets at Israel - just for a few days is good enough. Then I go to Mad-Dog-Bibi and tell him that any further escalation on the part of the Israelis will jeopardize our 'special relationship with Israel' including cutting them off from military aid. You in turn will get an open border with Egypt, an end of the blockade and as an extra bonus, we'll take you off that nasty list of terrorist organizations. <br />The new boggyman will be the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades - but we know you have no affiliation with that organization, wink, wink! <br />Do I have your attention Mr. Haniya?"<br /><br />Ismail: "I still can't believe US let women have role in politics! In my country we have a pen outside for the animals and womens! Now I understand problem that the woman have a smaller brain than a man. Even Borat and Dr. Yamuka has proved it is size of squirrel. Please, on your way back to Tel-Aviv, don't let <br />my people see you drive car. Woman drive a car is like to let a monkey fly a plane, very dangerous. Now, back to business... tell me what can you do to sweeten the deal? How about some tanks and planes - you know, as you say in your country, 'even the playing field'?" <br /><br />Hillary: "I'm already on it. I can always spot a reformer when I see one! Now, I have some paperwork - a few minor details such as a signature or thumbprint for that offshore account."<br /><br />Ismail: "Wonderful! It is pleasure to do business with US! Say salam aleikum to my friend Barack Hussein and Thomas Friedman when you see them".<br /><br />Hillary: "No problem. Have a nice War!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067977173951690762.post-67892305100042691262012-11-19T16:38:29.897-08:002012-11-19T16:38:29.897-08:00Oh Jeffrey.
I live in New York, but I spend a lot ...Oh Jeffrey.<br />I live in New York, but I spend a lot of time on the phone ... when I (or rather the other side) can. Three days ago, my conversation was short, stopped rudely by my sister-in-low who just chose to respond to an alarm the same way she did 10 times during the previous night.<br />Her son-in-low, a reservist, is already drafted.<br />We already know that there is far right/weir left/Islamist fusion. Yes, we know what unites them. <br />Thank you for reminding me. I already changed my registration, or I thought I did. I sent my preferences (Independent) after the charming display of bigotry in the Congress.<br />So far, no confirmation. It looks like I'll have to send it again, certified.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
